Hiatus
Hey everyone,
As some of you might have noticed, my replies have become less and less frequent lately, and I’ve been prioritizing some storylines over others almost exclusively.
This is because I simply don’t have time to get to everything I’d like to in DFRPG - and plus, I’m not finding that I’m enjoying what I’m doing as much as I used to be. I tried adding new characters and excitement, new storylines, and so on, but the magic isn’t really there for me right now.
Lately, I’ve been putting off posts and stories, compromising my writing in ways I don’t feel I should be, and even getting into arguments that make IC issues OOC issues. That’s not how I like to be, and I think it’s a combination of real-life stress, overinvestment in the futures of fictional characters, and a resultant loss of perspective on what’s important.
So, I’m taking a break from Tumblr. It’s not permanent. I’m sure I will be back. I don’t know exactly when, but it’ll be sometime after things have calmed down with school and work, and after I’ve had time to gain some perspective back. Until then, I consider all of Evelyn, Inari and Mia’s threads paused, but if you prefer to simply think of them as dropped, that’s perfectly okay, since I can’t say when I’ll feel up to coming back.
This isn’t about any one person or storyline or even the DFRPG community as a whole. It’s about me looking at how things are going, and deciding that I need to step back and remember what I came here to do, and find the drive to get back to doing it. It’s been a while coming.
For what it’s worth: This is one of the best, most capable, most engaging RP communities I’ve ever been part of. You guys are excellent to the fullest extent of the law (and then some).
See you all around - hopefully sooner rather than later.
