And it is quite a shame.

I won't presume to dictate his logic, and out of respect for him, I'll only say that I hope someday, he finally feels he can return, and finishes Transcending Time.

Until then, I can only wish him and his family the best.

I kind of like how he gave a few reasons as to why he's stopping. It's better than just randomly falling off the face of the earth without anybody knowing what happened.

I echo these sentiments.
While I'm peeved that an author I read is retiring from the fanfic scene, I have to say I'm impressed he's got the strength to admit he's having problems and taking steps to deal with them.

Calamity is a good choice for that fic. I'm sure she'll do pretty well.
