Welcome back, Sunshine. I'm glad you found my notices helpful. As for your unexpected hiatus, we've known for a long time that you don't do things by halves. You may disappear for months at a time, but you're usually pretty active when you're here. Anyway, as Rhonda noted, you're back just in time for Seventh Night.

The "Hope" fanart turned out well. My vote is for the bloody one. The blood is actually fairly unobtrusive, and there's a good chance that a viewer who doesn't know the situation either won't notice it or won't know what to make of it.

Regarding the changing at the guard, Lal, TAU and TDIWriter left shortly after Sprink did (and perhaps, in part, directly because of that) although Lal and TAU have stated that they still intend to lurk. Not so sure about Bran, since he had just moved into his own place with his girlfriend. All this left a lot of admin vacancies, so Wifey, BB and Rhonda (support levels in that order) were promoted to admins. In addition, Toad had become an admin a few weeks before. Sprink's abrupt departure left us in the dangerous situation of having only one regularly active b-crat, that being Reddy, so Toad and I became b-crats. Some people have since said that they regard me as Sprink's de facto successor as "wiki leader", but that's not official.

As for TDROTI, it had its moments, but I regard it as one of the weaker seasons, partly because it was only half length and partly because its antagonist was so implausible. (And partly because there were only a few episodes where Chef did much.)

Anyway, it's good to have you back, and here's hoping that you stay a while this time.
