In lieu of putting things into my own words, I'm just going to copy-paste his responses directly here for these two responses.
"Personal circumstances make that difficult for him at the moment but it sounds like people are still reading so I'll keep sharing until such time as he can start posting directly again!"

"He likes and misses the community. There are personal circumstances he cannot discuss but it is not what you think. He hopes to come back in person one day but in the mean time he was happy to know the stories he wrote initially just for a private audience of close friends were being shared and enjoyed. All we were trying to do was check whether people were interested in reading them since, if not, I'll just keep them for myself! Since people have said they are, I'll keep positing."

This bit here are my own words, not his.
Yes, I do ask for permission. They aren't my stories. They're his. Posting them publicly without his consent wouldn't be right, so of course I make sure he gives it to me first.
