You don't have any way to directly contact you so I hope you see this:
I have at last count about 10,000 stories downloaded to my PC. Most of them are from SOL, but there are a few from ASSTR and other sites. I am 71, and obviously retired, and I spend a lot of my time rereading some of those stories.
I just want to tell you how easy it is to immerse myself in your stories. They become real to me, in sort of a weird immersive way. All your stories are like that. I don't know how many times I have read all or part of 'Runaway train' or any of your other stories. Please, if at all possible, don't stop writing.

Just because someone disappears for awhile doesn't mean they are gone for good. I had a ten year break in my posting (imprisonment followed by probation), but I've been writing and posting like crazy since Lazeez was kind enough to reactive my account.

So sometimes, they just, go crazy, as in the bat-crap kind. ;)

No offense to anyone who may be, as I've always been pretty close myself.

Wish he'd come back with another story. He's easily my favorite writer here and I reread his stories every year.

His last blog entry was from December 2020, given that his stories are not premier-only (something which happens after 4 years nowadays) it looks as though he visits this site occasionally.
Of course Lazeez may have set the "do not archive" flag for his stories, it would not be the first time he's done that for an author.

According to the Inactive Contributors page, he is not active anymore.

That page is maintained by some of the readers here and afaik simply reflects that he has not posted anything for over 5 years.

Jay Cantrell, would you consider just visiting to say "hi"? We love your stories, but more important, we care for you and want to know you are ok.

His email link is gone, which, IIRC, means that it has been over one year since someone has accessed his account.

OR that he deactivated it himself, I can't remember when that button vanished.

The author Moghal vanished from SOL for several years. When he returned to post a new story, it was premier-only and his email button remained deactivated. I eventually found a way of contacting him and he fixed both problems, or maybe I got in touch with Lazeez and he passed the message on. That particular problem (author resurfacing) has probably been fixed now.

Edit: I see Moghal's email button has gone again, it's been over two years since he last posted and he's a writer, not a reader.

I remember Unforgettable Weeks, with Andy Drayton and the Riley's. I *think* Jay Cantrell even said the next book was almost done, look for it in 2018-19.

I corresponded with him at that time and he said the same thing.
If anyone REALLY wanted to find him, there are enough clues in his blog to locate his actual name.
