I want to apologize for the lag in responding to tags recently. I've had to go on hiatus again, unexpectedly, and will need at least a few more days to get back to the game, if not a week or two. This affects:

The Tenth Doctor (dominustemporis)
Jyuushiro Ukitake (oceanstorm)
Cloud Strife (fragmentsofyou)
D (nobleprince)
Sesshoumaru (noblereason)
Kurama (foxtales)

The June threads already in progress will have priority when I get back so that anyone who needs them for AC will hopefully have them at the needed length in plenty of time.

Calling a hiatus for the rest of the month of June because I feel that I need a game-break and to refill my creative gauge :P~

I will be wrapping up whatever threads I have started, and focus on plotted threads/posts but otherwise, no new threads coming from my three girls --

• Sasha | goddessofwar : going about the Library, Devil's Compass, and Education Center; godmode rights go to housemates Touma Kamijou and Gemini Kanon ;


• Kohran Li | koubu_mama : puttering over her projects; Theater Workshops on Days 171 and 173 will be held, albeit handwaved ;


• Reki | this journal : working on her painting projects and catching a smoke and coffee at Dani's café.

Should you need to get in touch for anything, you can use this post, the contact posts in the charaters' respective journals, or a private Plurk :3♥

See you all soon!

xoxo

As some of you may know, or have noticed, both of your mods have been having a hard time tagging in Marina for a while now, and have been steadily losing interest in it. Everything has felt like a struggle for both of us, and we haven't been giving it the kind of attention it deserves. It's been difficult, and more than difficult, it's been upsetting, which isn't fair to us or to you.

It's incredibly hard to give up something that's been part of our lives for so long, and even harder when we know that lots of people are still enjoying it. But after a lot of discussion, we've agreed between ourselves -- and we've been encouraged by others -- to make it official, and so we are stepping down and will be leaving the game.

This will put Marina to rest.

However, we will be working with Haunt and Rica, who have volunteered to step up and continue the game. We don't feel comfortable passing on the responsibility of playing the NPCs and following all of our complicated personal standards and ideas, so we will be closing the current communities and NPC journals, and starting fresh with an IC rationale for the change in location, just like our first move over two years ago.

They plan to continue the game with the new communities, and we will be working out the details with them in the next day or two. If anyone would like to volunteer to help them with the game, they would appreciate interest!

But in two weeks, at the end of June, at the end of Day 173, we will be closing marinasylum for new posting. We will make another post when Haunt and Rica have their communities set up.

It's been a beautiful time with all of you, for over three years, and we wanted Marina to go fast and painless while it's still beautiful, rather than letting neglect and disinterest drag it down.

Our communities will stay. We have 85 players, 154 characters; 6,132 community posts and almost 727,000 community comments. And they are all amazing!

So for our part: Thank you, and stay amazing, all of you.
