The Same Old Story

So I've been lurking and trying to get to a point where I could get back into the posting game for a while now, but life has been getting in the way. Those of you who have seen me on Trillian/Yahoo know that I've been trying to get myself back into it and all. Good news is that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel that's been consuming me at work for the better part of a year and a half. Furthermore, I'm at the Elite Four

Spoiler:

in Pokemon Moon. So that beautiful black hole will be calming down soon ^^ Better news is that I'm really anxious to getting back into having fun with all of you (especially you newcomers).

As per usual, I'll be taking it slow to start of course. I don't want to get people's hopes up only to disappoint them in the end. That being said, if we have a thread out there with an unfinished ending (I imagine there are still many of those out there) and you'd be interested in picking it back up, I'm certainly game! You will have priority over any new threads. That also being said, I know there are a few of you that I've promised/discussed thread ideas with. Let me know if you're still interested or have any new ideas. Sadly, unlike others, I do not have a live list of all of you, just the steel trap with a bad weld job of a memory.

Now for some good stuff:
-As I've said in the past, I want to revamp my older profiles. That's still in the works. I believe Lilly and Bea are next in line.
-I still have plans for at least 2 new characters linked to Maxwell and/or Astrid: one male, one female, both plausible for Tension, one plausible for Momentum
-A lot of you newer people (and vets) that I've been reading new characters of have got my hamster wheel a-turning for new ideas/variations on old ideas. So expect something there

Everything in Alola is too hot:

Not good stuff (aka, fill me in please), but were my eyes deceiving me or did I see topics about Tat and some others retiring/walking away?
