Thank you so much for the response to my email, everybody! I'm glad we're all still willing to provide this home for our characters, and I'm glad you're all still here with me. ♥

This post is here for two reasons:

i. As suggested, we're going to make a game amnesty. What does this mean? Well, if you feel a character is no longer working, or that you'd like to see a plotline and/or backstory reset, drop a line here so that we can discuss things and work on the appropriate changes. Alternately, if you'd like to add a new character, this can be as good a place for requesting it as the holds page.

ii. I'm also taking the opportunity to address a matter connected to the issues brought by last month's IJ crash. You might have noticed on other journals that, when the site was restored, the friends pages were seriously messed up due to a problem with the friending/unfriending of other journals. I tried to fix this here (and also on my CDJ) but realized that the friends button wasn't working. After a few experiments, I'm convinced that the problem is coming from the option to remove journals in the button's code.

If you wish to fix this, the way I've managed to do so was to head to Edit Friends and untick all the names in it before turning my attention to the Friend Button. Since I've re-friended all of you in this fashion, the button page will be visible to you - but if it's locked, let me know. You should also check if you're able to post in felix_logs or felix_ooc, as I know of some games where people had to leave and be re-added to the comms.

Also, keep in mind that at this point this is a quick solution to the problem, and that I haven't worked on updating our current character roster. As soon as I've worked on removing our recently departed characters, I'll let you know.

Happy Easter!

I have more to say, but this is just a quick reply about what I'm thinking. In order to get back into the game, I think I need to limit the number of characters I play initially before stepping back up to my full roster. With that in mind, I'm thinking 3 waves. Ironically, the characters most affected by Julia's departure are in the first wave - Valentina because she has stuff going on with Tiago, and Romilda and Lucy because they are two of my strongest voices.

First wave:
Alex
Valentina
Yakov
Evan
Romilda
Lucy

Second wave:
Jade
Luke
Dean
Mel
Glenys
Sally

Third wave:
Rachel
Lee
Myron
Barney

These are pretty rough groups that I would be open to change, depending on what people are doing with their characters e.g. I don't know if Patricia might drop Samir without Remy, but if not Samir may need Barney around.

Anyone else have thoughts?

I'll be doing my own list here in a moment, but I'll start by commenting how my chars relate to yours if that's ok?

The only ones of your first wave mine really have of your first wave are Yakov and Valentina through Maks and Anzelm. As much as I love the latter, I am considering dropping him (at least temporarily) while we get game activity back up, because I have so few connections for him and not really feeling it. However, Maks is both Russian and a Triwizard guy, even if he wasn't at Accio Goblet. We could always discuss retconning Anzelm and Yakov and develop things with Maks instead, if you were up for that?

Of your second wave, the only one who is clanging real bells for me is Glenys as she's godmother to Maks' child through her friendship with Taryn (whom Squeaky is keeping! She's just not here to say so yet). She was also in the same group as Kevin at Hogwarts, but like Anzelm, I am kind of struggling with him right now.

Third wave, Barney is of Larissa and Hamish's cohort and that's all I've got? <3

Yeah, I can see why Anzelm would be hard as he's a family man sans family. I'm totally up for Maks/Yakov development, though.

Yay Taryn is staying! I'm definitely keeping Glenys. I have thought about her and Kevin as a possible ship if you want to see if we can develop that?

Yeah, Barney has a few people to talk to, he just doesn't seem to have any plot of his own and I can't think how to move him forward.

	Well, that's certainly something we can look at further down the line, then! I would definitely be interested in that. Let's talk:) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Welllllll we said they went to the Yule ball together as friends I think? So it would be a sort of under-your-nose-the-whole-time sort of romance line. And I remember they were both lamenting on Kevin's last journal about it being hard to find love when you have a job you're very involved in, as they both do. Aaaaand I don't know, thoughts?

	Ooh yes, I had forgotten that! I think it should be a good starting point, especially if we throw them together socially and see what happens? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alas, Sean, Barney is straight. Sure, there was that thing with Miles, but that was during the Love Potion Incident. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
