Hiiii.

Am I really back this time? WHO CAN SAY. Maybe if the universe stops dropping stuff on my head! I want to be though. I'M TRYING.

DOES ANYONE WANT TO DO SCENES WITH ME PLEASE since apparently that's a loooot easier right now than gratuitous comment bombing? I am made of sads because I miss writing with you all bunches.

Okay, let’s try this again!

I’m BAAAAAAACK! (This time I’m pretty sure it’ll stick lol)

Now that I feel like a normal person again and can actually focus without wanting to fall asleep every five seconds, I’m ready for action. I noticed there’s some new characters I missed while I was out, so I’ll be going through intros once I’m off work. I just wanted to get this up and get myself back in. Because I’ve missed you all! (Thanks M&M for being so helpful and understanding <3)

*crawls back in*

Heyyyyyy everyone. Callie the giant fail raises her head and peeks back in lol

It’s been a rough few months, my apologies for not being around more. Just trying to get everything ready for surgery (on Tuesday! 😳) and since I’m off and gonna be off for a bit, getting back into the swing of things.

So yeah. I’m back! Let’s rock this!

Hello, everyone!

I am...teeeeentatively back? Sort of? DID YOU MISS ME? Work is still killing me mostly but I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH so I'm going to try to dip my toe back in and see what happens.

So that being the case...I'm legit afraid to even try to figure out what happened in the ~~year and a half~~ m...onth and a half I've been away. Anybody who wants to help me will get internet cookies. Maybe real cookies someday. Who did we gain? Who did we lose? What BULLSHIT are our TERRIBLE CHILDREN up to these days? Oh man I'm so overwhelmed.

I love you all but I feel like a fragile butterfly stepping out of its cocoon, please be kind to me,
Sara
(Ree and Saira definitely, still deciding whether she can handle keeping Gabi and Violet.)

To quote what I just posted on the hiatus post in the mod journal:

"LOL LOL LOL GUYS my office got bought by a big conglomerate and i have to go to all this training and it's all like 40 minutes away and it's 8-5 without including travel time and i want to diiiiiiiie
I'm gonna check in as much as I possible can the next few weeks but it might not be much I'm so so so so sorry can we call this a semi-hiatus?
halp"

If you need/want one of my kids for anything please please poke me at xgirlxanachronismx@gmail.com because I will pop on to oblige anything because I love you all, but I'm not sure how much I'm going to, like, check the comms without a direct reason to for a week or two because OH MY GOD.

Thank you.

-Sara (Ree/Saira/Gabi/Violet)

hey all this is almost a mod post but since meggie's gone to bed and most of this is just my shit I'M POSTING AS A PLAYER. a list of things:

Holidays, health, work, etc. has been absolutely pummelling me so I'm putting myself on semi-hiatus. This does mean that, ridiculously enough, Drama Club is going to have to rehearse tomorrow without knowing who the hell has what role and what they are even performing??? Sorry. :( I'm going to see if I can get a cast list posted tomorrow at least because other writing is NOT HAPPENING. (But I will hopefully be around when Meggie's on hiatus this weekend, so not to worry, we won't abandon you!)

I have a Christmas present for all of you! I've posted Gooseberry-themed playlist codes on my personal journal, which you can use and alter to your heart's content. You can preview it in action HERE. (You can also find other code bits on baisemain which I swear I will move off of Sy's journal SOMEDAY.)

We have some Dreamwidth points saved up and I'd like to distribute them to anyone who really wants them, since it's the holidays and all. If you want DW points/paid account time, just let me know on this post or throw us a comment on this screened post. If you've already commented on the screened post, please comment again?

As always, thank you everyone for being great players and so patient and lovely. :c

Hi guys. I was dying of the sick again. But now I'm betterish/backish! Someone help me I'm so overwhelmed.

Hi everyone,

You might have noticed I haven't been around the last couple of weeks. I emailed the mods to let them know I was taking a hiatus due to some pretty shitty RL stuff going on (I co-ordinate special needs provision at my school and have nearly blown a gasket several times this month alone due to to horribly uninclusive attitudes among my colleagues), and things exploding at another game where I ended up quitting due to another player making me physically ill, and the mod sided with her. In short, things haven't been pretty, so I needed to take a break for a while. Thanks to everyone for being understanding - and if there is anything my kiddos have missed that they would know about, I would hugely appreciate the heads up. I'll be starting to pick things up again this weekend. <3

Hey friends, I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, which means I won't have access to a computer/time to really check the comms for the next week. I'll have my phone, because duh, so if you want me for anything please just poke me here or on my email or a dropbox or whatever with where you want me and I'll show up. And I'll reply to tags. But I won't really be checking, so.

I mean the game is half-closed so it shouldn't be an issue, but there it is anyway!

hello all,
just a note--

i'll be semi-scarce the next couple of days.

i've been finishing a Fucking Horrible school quarter
& tying up some loose research-y ends,
& need to like ... lie in the sun, read some books, and
get back all my social/mental energy ;-; ♥

sooo i'll be tagging in sporadically, but
maybe not super muchly
until like Monday

if you need me for whatever reason pls give me a poke !
i am drained yet accessible

Hi guys! I will be on hiatus from tomorrow until the 11th (cousin's wedding + holiday!). I should have wifi, so I'll be ~~snooping~~ keeping up with what's going on and hopefully dropping the odd comment, buuuut I will only have my ipad so comments will be short and sweet. (Is there anything more frustrating than trying to type without a proper keyboard? I THINK NOT.)

If you want to bring anything to my attention, or if there's something that requires a response from one of my characters, email me or leave a message on my character's dropbox. :*

p.s. if it's an evening wedding reception... and the dress code isn't specified... how casual can i get away with...

Hey guys~

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'll be on hiatus starting tomorrow because I'm going back to Chicago for another con. TWO CONS IN TWO MONTHS IS TOO MANY but that happened this year. I'll be bringing my laptop, but I don't know how much I trust hotel Wi-Fi during con time, so we'll see how this goes!

If you need anything from any of mine, just give me a poke. I'll try to catch up on a few things tonight/tomorrow before I leave too.

Guess who else will be along for this ride? IT'S RIN. Sorry to keep stealing her for nonsense. ♥

toot toot hiatus train comin' thru

i gotta get some work done, sorry fam. i'll be more-or-less outie through the 24th, altho i'll like, have internet access and stuff, so my actual rp availability is just a matter of willpower and clever scheduling. i should squeak in for quid/skeleton mining/ghost hunting/etc, i just probably won't be around for the stuff in between.

pls pls pls email or dropbox me if you need me for anything (or like... just to chat); i'll be farting around here on all my breaks, but it's highly plausible that i'll miss things.

still luvin the epistolary format,
cam (& zach & cash & mercy & anuhea & baby quayle)

Hello~

I'll be slope oast from tomorrow afternoon until Sunday. Not sure how slope, but probably most of Fri and Sat. Road tripping to Chicago for a wedding. Excited to travel backwards in time. I anticipate being intoxicated and tagging things unintelligibly from my phone. Miss u all.

Fondest regards,
Jenny & Zav & Dimi & Nia & Lucas & Takeru

Hey everyone! One more (less dramatic) update. I'm going out of town from Thursday to Sunday because I'm going to C2E2 in Chicago! I'm going to be staying with Rin (♥ ♥ ♥) and dragging her along too, so we'll both be less available than usual. We're hoping to poke at game stuff at night, but we'll also be with non-Gooseberry friends (gross), so we probably won't be around a ton.

If you're going to need mine during that time, let me know and we can discuss handwaving or getting stuff done ahead of time. Otherwise, feel free to poke mine on the Anon post, assume they're attending the Quidditch match, etc. I'll get to everything as I can! And so will Rin. I mean, probably.

HELLO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

Starting tomorrow in the very very very early morning I am going on vacation. Which, for stupid reasons, will involve many many hours in the car.

Many, many hours.

My vacation plans mostly include "eat Mexican food" and "drink beer" and "pet dogs" so I won't be the most gone, but I'll be kinda gone. Especially if I'm drunkenly petting dogs on the beach, I hope you understand.

If you guys have too much fun without me I definitely will not understand though so don't you dare.

I LOVE YOU ALL 🐴🐴🐴

destructobot

Hey buddyfriendpals!

It is Next Monday, and I am More Or Less Back! I say that because i'm still gonna be semi-scarce this week due to fambly stuff, but I'm gonna try to be around as much as possible!

Of course I am overwhelmed at the idea of trying to catch up on what I missed! Help! Someone point me where I should go with my babies!

I'm making a post for this because I really, really mean it, and I really need to make myself step back a bit and focus on my Actual Job. I've been slow lately because of work/health/family issues, and I'm going to continue to be slow for at least the next week.

This means there will be a slowdown on all of the things which are either partly or entirely my mod duties, such as adding new characters, maintaining the holds page, maintaining game pages in general, answering dropbox questions, everything relating to Quidditch, and just... mod stuff in general. Meggie will still be here and working tirelessly to make sure stuff like the Grotto party and other IC/OOCs go up in a timely manner, but we'd really appreciate your patience at this time.

I'll still be around, since it's pretty easy to just shoot the shit OOC, but I may not very tagging very much, if at all. If you really need my characters for anything, please feel free to hit me up on my character dropboxes or by email.

This affects Sy, Ravi, Mina, Micah and Iliya.
