“Did you know that today, October 23rd at midnight, was considered to be the day the world was created by Archbishop James Ussher in 4004 BCE? So, technically, tomorrow is new years day. Happy new years eve.”
but I might be, because I really miss my many Imogens. Anyone who’s still interested in writing with me, please like this post and/or send me a message/im/whatever people are using these days! But first, please read under the cut to make sure you’re still interested:
As I’m sure all of you have realized by this point, I am definitely a flake. There will be times where I do not log in for extended periods. Maybe weeks, maybe months. Who knows? I certainly don’t. That said, there are a few changes I’ll be making here in an attempt to at least make my absences less frequent:
I will no longer be writing smut. It just feels super weird to me now. I used to be more or less indifferent, but these days it just feels like... ick. That said, the characters involved in my plots can definitely be having sex: I just won’t be writing it. If fading to black is fine with you, this change probably won’t make much difference.
If I have a ton of muse for one or two plots but none for another plot or two at any given point, I will be giving preferential treatment to the plots I’m feeling more muse for. I went back and forth on this one a lot, because I know how it feels to be on the other end of the stick, and I don’t want any of my partners to feel like I don’t care about them or our plot. Because I do, I just don’t always have equal levels of muse for everything at all times. That’s just how it is. And I’ve realized that the more I try to make the amount of times I reply to each para exactly even, the more likely I am to just flake out and stop replying entirely.
In a similar vein, I will not be replying to every thread every day I’m online. As much as I want to, I just don’t have time anymore. When I started this account I was about halfway through college and in zero extracurriculars; now I’m employed full time (and then some), and somehow have almost more social life than I’m able to handle??? Like seriously, I have no idea how this happened. But when I have the time to log in and do a reply or two, chances are I’m not going to have time for everything, because sometimes I feel like I don’t even have time to hear myself think these days.
A timeskip will pretty much be 100% necessary in order to continue virtually any of the currently ongoing plots. It doesn’t need to be long, but I just can’t figure out how to get back into the zone for paras that have been sitting on the shelf for several months now. I want to be able to, but I know from past experience in being a total flake that it just won’t work for me after such a long hiatus. If we’re going to keep writing, some degree of plotting will be necessary in order to get things rolling again. It doesn’t have to be an all-new plot (and in most cases, I wouldn’t want it to be!), but we’ll need to figure out something to make it fresh.
If there’s NSFW visuals on your blog, I will not follow you (but that doesn’t mean I won’t write with you). Instead of following, I’ll be checking my notifications for reblogs of our threads, and checking the tags on your blog to make sure nothing slips through. This’ll be easiest if you tag your posts with my url, but you’re by no means required to. Please don’t take offense if I’m not following you- it probably just means that something was posted that the blacklist didn’t quite hide in time to keep it from me... and then I could. not. unsee. This has happened just a few times too many, so it’ll just be easier for me to work around it.
If one or any of the items on this list (or literally any other reason in the world) makes you not want to write with me anymore, I completely understand. But if you’re good with my super long list of things I think will help me be more active and just happier with roleplaying in general, let me know!

Well. Seth sighed, watching as JT looks around his room for the last time. Seth had promised him that he could come and take small things and if anything he was a man of his word. The reaper toyed with things himself, it was all so meaningless to him but the second JT came across photographs everything about him changed. Seth watched him sit on his bed and of course sat beside him.
The reaper did not dare to touch the image, though he did smile faintly, an expression not even close to reaching the new reaper’s face. Eyes shift from the picture to the other, he may be a reaper now but that expression was so very human. It was raw human emotion. Heartbreak. Seth did not know who these people were and, honestly, didn’t really understand what was going on in the picture either. But JT did and that’s what mattered.
“You know...” the reaper licked his lips and swallowed, “you could take that, but sooner or later... you’ll figure yourself out and get back on your feet and you’ll move on. That’s good. That’s what you deserve. But then what’s going to happen to it?” he blinked, “If you leave it here someone else can take it. I guess it’s up to you to decide if you need this picture more than the people who are in it with you.”
“It’s like... sometimes I’m not even sure if Jeremiah is even my name. I just want to remember who I am, but at the same time it’s like.. I’m scared to find out.”
“ i keep loosing everything... do you have any idea why i
have such terrible luck? ” kennedy pouted and
crossed her arms over her chest, irritated that she
couldn’t seem to find her purse anywhere.
“--- Wait what??” Jeremiah is outraged! “Seth hits on you? He never hits on me! Is it because I’m black?” he gasped, “Is Seth racist?!” he folded his arms grumpily, “I’m hot to guys, right?!”
