our main has a new desktop theme ! the change isn’t that notorious since i kept the color palette and text font, but it’s there and i like it, and hope all of you like it too ! if you see anything not working or you find anything’s hard to read or find for you, let me know so i can see a way to fix it. thank you for your attention, mwah !
hello, hello, my beloveds ! as so nicely, funnily suggested by a lovely anon, now the sanctuary has THERAPISTS ! you can find this new position on our locations + jobs page, under the science building + hospital section. it can be filled by psychiatrists, psychologists, or counselors, and the only requirement is that they have some kind of studies / experience / training in the subject. we’ll headcanon the sanctuary already has one or two, so our members can start adding it to their plots and threads, but we’d love to see the role taken because god knows these poor, traumatized folks need it and will keep needing it with what i have planned for them. so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to come for them !
hello, my loves ! i updated our banned fcs list and added to it a list of pretendians + one of pro isnotrael celebrities that won’t be allowed in this group for obvious reasons. to those members who are using fcs found in any of them, don’t worry, you can keep them if you want to, since this info is not well - known and / or very recent. if you have any issues with this new measure, please reach me via ims here or dms on discord, since due to past experiences i won’t be answering anons regarding this matter ( unless your questions are harmless and genuine ) . thanks for your attention, babies, have an awesome tz !
the day has arrived ! starting today, we’re back to our regular schedule, so this is a reminder for our members ( and future members *expectant side eyes emoji, shining with hope* ) to give a new read to the official announcement post which contains all the information about it ! also, another read to our guidelines would be very appreciated, since they were updated recently. hope everyone reading this has an amazing tz, and anything you need, any questions and the like, i’ll be around while i set my new character’s intro and write my replies !
we’re going back to our regular, post - holidays schedule this monday, january 8th ! hence here is some information about how things will work from now on. if i missed something or you have questions, hmu whether here or on discord ! you can find all the info under the cut.
ACTIVITY. we’ll require three replies to three different threads per mun a week, but if you can do more, please be our guest ! groups depend heavily on their members writing and we’re not an exception. for those writing more than one character, try to do at least one for each. during busy times ( and every time i feel the nagging need ) activity checks will be conducted via discord.
HIATUS. they’ll last as long as you need, but if it’ll be more than two weeks you’ll have to pop up every seven to ten days to update us or let us know if you’re still around / interested in staying with us. if you don’t, we’ll assume you’re not anymore and your unfollow will be posted.
WRITING. we’ll have two different types of just to an extent mandatory writing occasions: events, that will take place in more relaxed settings and mainly consist of special or specific affairs for the sanctuary ( harvest / planting seasons, anniversaries, birthdays, and any other kind of celebration; reunions, relevant meetings, and so on ) that will give us all the chance to explore our characters’ dynamics and strengthen ( or weaken *side eyes emoji* ) their bonds. and then plot drops, that will move, if you’ll excuse the redundancy, the group’s plot further, and will bear heavier and darker themes ( community struggles inside and outside of the sanctuary, possible losses, hostile encounters, missions, crisis, among others ) . these will change things around the place, and help you develop your character(s) within our main storyline and lore.
TASKS. new year’s goal ! we’ll start doing tasks between events and plot drops so you can develop your muse(s) in a more relaxed, different way. we’ll try to stay away from heavily written tasks, but we might have a few of those too, especially if you request them. goes without saying any suggestions or ideas are absolutely welcomed !
MORE CHARACTERS. from now on, current members will have the chance to have up to four characters in total, and then, depending on activity, you’ll be able to bring in more if you’d like and feel like you can handle them. just keep in mind our diversity rules before sending your app ! guidelines about the amount of characters one can apply with will remain for new members.
and i think that’s all there is ! please, remember to give our guidelines a new read so you don’t overlook anything, and as i said before, if anything’s missing here or there’s something you wanted to know but i didn’t mention it, all you have to do is ask. many kithes on top of your lovely heads, babies, and happy writing !
once again i’ve failed to do things on time ( please pretend to be shocked ), but ‘tis is The Season™ after all, and better late than never, right ? *holding back tears* anyway ! news about our holidays schedule, in which we’re gonna keep things very simple because it’s stuff we’ve been doing already, just unannounced:
no activity checks until january, yet we’ll still require one ic post per week ( monday to sunday ) .
this time and opposite to what we state in our guidelines, your activity can be any kind of ic post: an open / closed starter, a reply to a thread, a personal task, a self - para, or anything of the sort. the only condition is that it must be written.
if you feel unable to do any of these, don’t hesitate to ask for a hiatus !
if you have more than one muse, we won’t ask for ic activity on all of them, just one showing up on the dash would suffice, so don’t worry !
as they’ve been the past couple of weeks already, answers to questions, apps, and reserves will be slow, as well as the activity on the main. it can even be non - existent some days but don’t fret, we’ll still be around.
anddd … i think that’s all we have ! if anything important is missing or you have any doubts, please let us know or feel free to leave an ask. as aforesaid, we’ll return to regular activity and the respective checks the first week of january, so until then, stay safe, and happy holidays, my most beloveds !
sooooo , i’ve decided that … we’re not gonna have an activity check this week ! since a lot of the past week’s days were used to revamp the group, it halted a lot of members’ writing, in consequence, i think they deserve a little bit of space to organize themselves, find their footing within the changes, and have more time in case they had anything to modify for their muses after our makeover. so, yes ! that ! no checks or warnings or unfollows due to activity this week, which means members, no matter how much time they’ve been without ic interactions, will have seven to ten more days to write in hopes it helps those lacking inspiration to regain muse or have a bigger window to plot. this, of course, won’t apply to new members ( those accepted after the revamp ) , they’ll have to post their intros and ic interactions on time or ask for an extension, otherwise they’ll lose their roles.
big, big kithes on top of your lovely, lovely heads, babes ! i’ll be around, come talk to me *wink*
and i bring you a somehow small summary to let you know what we’ve changed, my most beloveds !
of course, and as you can notice at first sight, our NAME, color palette, and graphics images have changed, and all our links and TAGS have been modified to fit this. we also applied the name change to our most wanted + promo sideblogs. please, let us know if anything makes it hard for you to see / read or if there are any broken links.
we made a few modifications to our PLOT which are that the outbreak didn’t happen in september of 2013 but in march of 2011 instead, the location is still boulder and the setting went from the university of eastern colorado to the ( very real, existent ) university of colorado, although we’re not using images of said alma mater, you can always look it up to find inspiration if needed.
we added NEW LORE !!! and i think this is our biggest change, it includes information on the virus and the infected we’re going with from now on.
some of our locations such as the bar, the library, and the hospital have been renamed.
since the sanctuary is located in the university of colorado now, we’re not bighorns anymore, but buffalos, and our mascot is called chip ! this required small changes here and there ( our applications, locations’ descriptions, follow posts ... ) you may or may not notice. if you don’t, don’t worry, though, it is not truly relevant !
and ... i think that’d be all ! as we said, the changes are little and don’t affect the current events the group’s going through, not really, and despite you knowing the new lore is important for context, our plot doesn’t rely heavily on it, but on the threats the sanctuary keeps facing ( even though that can always change, hehe ) .
we hope you cherish these changes as much as we do, and as usual, any doubts, suggestions, corrections, constructive criticism, and questions are very, very appreciated — please, let us know what you think !!!
