I'm sorry.

I was planning for Rustball Week to make a return this year in September. But "Planning" is kind of misleading, really I was just sort of hoping that I would get around to planning everything and telling myself "Tomorrow I'll sit down and figure it all out!!".

As you can guess, "Tomorrow" never came. I don't think it'll come anytime soon.

I've come to realize that I don't have the free time or, honestly, the motivation to do anything with Rustball Week for now. I have a full-time job and a bunch of other young adult responsibilities and plans that take up my time and energy. Capitalism and creativity don't mix well, most of my brainpower is used up at my job and whatever is left is being used for personal projects or stuff for other fandoms.

I haven't been in the StEx fandom fully for a while now, at first I took a step back for my mental health but as time went on, my interest has waned more and more. I still enjoy StEx and Rustball, I just don't really have the energy to do something like Rustball Week anymore.

Maybe in the future I will bring it back. I would love to bring it back, I still love this ship and I'm really happy that it seems to have gained more popularity lately! This probably won't be goodbye forever, though I have no plans and this is all one big "Maybe".

I'm sorry that I got everyone's hopes up and that people have probably been anticipating the return of something that wouldn't come to be.

This blog will still stay up for those that enjoy the fics it produced.

Thanks for everything ❤️.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Rustball week will indeed be returning!

There is one caveat: It's returning next year, in 2026.

I have a lot of things going on for the rest of this year, and I would like to put much more effort into this event than I did the first time it ran.

So, it is returning, but not for a little while.

I know a lot more people enjoy Rustball these days, and I want to give us all that content we crave :)

Thanks for the support 💖

The end of Rustball week

Thanks for participating everyone!!

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll finish the remaining oneshots I had planned. Life is kicking me in the butt and my interest waxes and wanes, and it waned very badly.

But thanks for participating in Rustball week!!

See you all next year, hopefully.
