Hey all,
In what probably isn’t a surprise to most of you, the team has found it hard to keep the group afloat and thriving these past few weeks. Things are only slated to get busier as August comes around and with even less time to dedicate to running things, we’ve decided that, rather than closing outright, we wanted to give you lovely members the choice of writing in a closed group setting without admins. With few to no apps trickling in and with real life just being a hot mess for the world right now, we think giving members the choice of writing in this way is best, rather than trying to enforce activity requirements during an already stressful and emotionally taxing time.
This way, whoever chooses to can keep writing these characters within the group setting, but in a more lax, leisurely manner. Also, because we know it’s the worst feeling to not know what might’ve happened, we want to give everyone the choice of finding out what was going to happen in the plot. That way, if you’re inspired by the plot ideas, you can run with them, rather than never finding out what had been planned and where it might’ve taken your characters. So, if you want to know what was going to happen, please just let us know and we’d be happy to share!
The only thing we’d ask is that if you want to keep writing these characters, you do so within the closed group setting, as they are all based on skeletons that admins have written and put time into. We love you all and that’s why we’re giving the option of writing in a closed setting vs just closing outright. This definitely isn’t something we’ve come to overnight or lightly. We appreciate everyone’s support thus far and are so grateful for all the interactions we’ve had in Grimmbrook, so we’re happy there’s an option for you all to keep doing what you’ve been doing, without the pressure of a traditional group setting. We love all our members and are so grateful for you all!
Love,
Grimmbrook Admins
