It is with great regret that factors out of my control have now forced me to not go to any convention in 2017. The falling out has become a pit of gossip and my relations have been damaged beyond repair for this year.

I'm so sorry I've let everyone down because of this, and I really wish things could be better, but right now, circumstances mean I'm homestuck for 2017. It's for the better that I avoid all social contact with the parties that I've damaged relations with.

Have a good time without me. I'll be at home upgrading my computer as my only solace and therapy.
