Many well-known users have taken hiatuses for various lengths of time and for various reasons. I'm not sure why you removed all your Feature candidates, though. FU I can understand, but none of the other categories have anything to do with how active you are.

As for your stories, unfinished stories aren't normally considered "abandoned" until they've gone a year without a meaningful update or unless there's an explicit statement by the author. Finished stories (like OK) remain indefinitely, whether the author is still around or not. In any case, you said yourself that you don't plan to leave us entirely.
