[info]esplanademod in [info]esplanadeooc

The last thing I wanted to do was make this post, but I'm quite unsure of what to do at the moment. Due to personal reasons, the community will need to be put on a hiatus, or hold, for the time being. This super bums me out with as much work as was put into it in the beginning and everything that was planned, however just with bad timing things came up that have made it difficult to put the energy into this game that's deserved. And I strongly believe that no one deserves to wait around for things to happen slowly just because mods aren't able to be on top of their game, especially when that's a huge bummer in itself having a character you're excited about and ready to play and then it taking a long time to really get them into things.


I told myself I'd want to keep this community up as long as there was even just one person interested, but it's become difficult at the moment. And I don't believe any of you deserve to be dragged down along the way waiting for things to get going if it's not able to happen here soon.

I was personally looking forward to interacting with each of you in some way as writers, as I love the characters each of you have taken the time to bring in. Please know that I'm deeply sorry for letting you down in any way. If anyone's upset, you have the right to be. Everyone hates it when something they're excited about dies; trust me I know this is the hardest part about getting yourself to join a community. Yet here I am doing the same to each of you in return.

The idea of the game is not dead, nor is the interest to play it out. I would love to get this started up again (sooner than later), but I do not want any of you feeling as if you have to wait around watching for it to happen while the community just sits here. Not only is it unfair to you, but a complete bummer. No one likes being bummed out!

With that said, if any of you still hold interest in playing here, your character is yours to keep and welcome to join back immediately once things are settled and okay again. If any of you are hesitant because you end up afraid of the same thing happening (which is always a worry, I know, and hard to trust again afterward), that's understandable. But when it comes to this community, this world, this 'verse, it deserves to be given everyone's all, which is why it has to be put on hold.

Please keep in contact with me. I'd love to keep in touch with each of you, if any of you are interested in doing the same in return. I have AIM, I have e-mail, I have a Facebook (I mean, is that creepy?). I'm open and willing on any. You're more than welcome to send me any virtual slaps on the nose for me doing this. I'll handle them well. I'll screen the comments, just in case that's more comfortable for any of you.

Also keep in contact with each other. PSLs are wonderful, and if your character has connected with anyone do not let me take that away from you. Keep building on them, especially if you are at all interested in bringing them back once the game reopens. Connecting with people, and character to character, is always awesome.

Each of you do take care, and I'm sorry again for having to do this, especially with every one of you putting your energy into this game in return. Do know that I fell in love with each of your characters for all their own reasons, whether you knew it or not.
