The Plot Cafe is going on a temporary hiatus as I will be devoting my time to building another project that will allow me to quit my day job and thus spend more time building the website to the premium place for readers and writers that it should be. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Anyone who has contacted me regarding having an interview done before May 1, I will still do the interview probably some time this week.
