Of course we care what you have to say, Nico, but around here (as with pretty much anywhere, really) it can be a case of "out of sight, out of mind". On the other hand, that's what subscriber lists are for. As for your blog getting onto the Hot Spots, that's pretty much a "luck of the draw" thing, since only two blogs can be on the Hot Spots at any given time. What your blog had going for it is that you were originally active enough and sociable enough for long enough to get popular, and "return from hiatus" blogs tend to draw well.

As for your story ideas, I'm afraid I can't help you with characters because, as you know, I work with the canon cast.

Island or world tour? If you're not planning to do both sooner or later, then I'd say go with whichever one you think you have the best ideas for and feel most comfortable writing. If you plan to do both eventually, then I'd suggest doing the island first because a world tour would by its nature have a larger scope.
