For a time . . .

[pearltook1]

To all my friends at LOTR Gfic, our challenges and MPTT I'm sorry to say but I'm going to be taking a hiatus of unknown length. RL has snuck-up on me and I find I don't have the time to give to the groups that they need from a Mod. You are all dear people and I ask that you take care of my dearest friends who are still the group's moderators.

Thank you all for everything,

Pearl Took
