Ouch. I know that feeling. The feeling of being stood up by the girl you ask out. It really does suck...

Now Prodigy, I do understand that. We all have lives off the site as well, but if you're involved in a committed story with another user or more, you have to let them know when you may not be around. I'm not saying you give them details, not at all, but at least say "Hey guys, I'm not gonna be around for [insert number or name of days] because I'll be busy." It's a common courtesy we expect from the users we work with. If they start giving you shit afterwards, then you tell them to fuck off.
