Hi Friends!

This is more of a psa than anything else, I guess. There are a lot of changes happening over the next few weeks for us, the main one being that I'll be on my own with T until mid-April for the most part. The tl;dr is that Mike has a test to study for that is about to consume our lives. T will also have a few medical appointments over the next few months that I'm seriously stressed out about (including two possible surgeries).

That being said, my concentration and motivation are already shrinking into oblivion as the anxiety about it all grows. If I owe you a post and you want it done please nag me about it. I do not mind being poked for things. Yell at me on Skype, shout in the cbox, hire a skywriter. Please. I'm far more likely to do a post that someone is asking for than going down the list and trying to keep myself on track. (Self acountability is a trait that I am working on!!! And will achieve soon!!! .... maybe?) I'm going to do my best to stay on top of things, but if I become a shitshow until May this is my apology <3.

Hi again friends <3

Without getting too in depth in details, I need to decrease my amount of active threads. I don't want to let things die, but after this past week it's obvious I don't have the same brain capacity for posts as I did. Not to mention Mike's studying begins next weekend so I'll just go bury my head under a pillow? I guess?

I mainly want to keep anything shippy and/or dramatic (predictable, I know). Those are the things that I can wrap my head around doing right now.

Please let me know here or on skype if you have any thoughts about our current stuff <3

We've got two active squish threads - are those shippy enough that you want to keep them? We could wrap either, from my end, and it's not a big deal. ^^

Ford/Dory is close to wrapping anyway but if it's not jiving for you I could easily edit Ford's last post to have him leave and we could archive it!

I just archived Jo/Jules/Zach so that's already gone, and I don't think we have anything else. I'm ready for new NCE whenever you are but no rush <3 He's busy worrying about Art anyway so it's not holding me up and I can be vague until you're ready for things.

Also re: that plot we'd discussed offline, Soph & I were already talking about delaying it because of other things that have come up, so we'll just revisit it in the future sometime ^^

Re: squish: Can we get them down to one thread? Thank you for archiving Sinns+Jules

I'm very interested in Ford/Dory. I also have other Dory stuff coming up this week so I'll def be able to post there again. We can chat next week sometime about where to take them next?

I'm not quite ready for Mel stuff atm. If you need to npc/have anything urgent pop up lmk and I'll reassess.

Yup! Just edited his last post and archived Consequences. I think Gravity is more interesting anyway but if think you're in a spot with Jo where it makes more sense to nix that one and start something set later I'm happy to do that too <3

I am also invested in Ford/Dory and I don't mind keeping it if something happens to get them to interact more - just whatever you've got bandwidth for

And tbh I think waiting on a NCE thread is more interesting anyway but maybe we can just skype real quick about the general ~vibe in the house in case I need to reference anything in other threads?

I think we just have our two ships --- Sinns & Nice. <3 As always, you know there's never any pressure from me, so whatever pace you want to take with things, I'm all on board. Or if you ever need to drop something, I'm cool with that, too!

MJ, yet again working her magic.  <3 <3 Thank you

I thiiiiink we just have:
- Fallon/Kieran, which is probably 1-2 posts from closing unless there's more drama?

-We were going to do a fluff thread w/ Freya and August - if it's not shippy enough or if you don't have capacity rn we can hold off

we can fade with them chatting in the kitchen if that works for you?

would you mind waiting a few weeks for freya/august? I def want to do it, just need to wrap more threads before starting more.

Julius/Verity is at a natural point to wrap if that makes your life easier! Either one more post from you, or I can edit my last <3

<3 I think we've talked already, but just wanted to remind you I'm always here if you need anything.

All we have right now is Malou and Dory. We can wrap or continue entirely up to you.

Do you mind if we fade the Christmas thread and do something more recent for them?

Hi!

So, I've been doing a lot of self-reflection this week and have come to the realization that I need to put up some charming boundaries. I've overextended myself with characters, and, while I don't want to drop anyone as I love their plots, I need some kind of system that doesn't cause me to feel guilty. With that said, I'm establishing a hierarchy of how I'll go about my posting from here on out.

Also, with the weather being warmer my priorities have now shifted to being outside with T as much as possible. The sunshine this week has done wonders for both of our moods. This means my day time posts will be severely limited to her nap time (usually from 11a-1p EST +/- 30 minutes) and after bed time (730p EST).

Tier 1: Alice Dawson, Dorian Fisk, @'Fallon Abernathy'
My reliable muses, can summon up the will to post them without issue. Generally open for new plots/ideas so long as it's discussed first. Will likely post these characters at least once a week.

Tier 2: Freya Selwyn, Melody Crouch*, Penelope Fawcett, @'Verity Greengrass'
Closed for new plots for the time being. Posts will be hit or miss depending upon my mood/energy. They'll always be posted to meet the AC requirements, but might not always be much more than that. Please thread with them understanding this.

Tier 3: Beau Miller, Jupiter Smith
Likely to vacation them both. Jo is more dependent on how her next few threads go, and if she goes it might be a semi-permanent retirement. Beau will be back whenever Bee has a need of him.

*Melody might be shifted to tier 1 at some point. We will see.
