MarinaNova OOC

It's Crystal and I'm back! again with Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries. If we haven't met then it is nice to meet you and PLEASE COME SAY HI. ♥

I've reapped Elena without any memories from her time here so she's a clean slate and also from early season one. Her canon point is 1.7, "Haunted" for anyone that's interested. Please if we had any old CR you wanna pick up and dive into with fresh-faced Elena I am so up to those hijinks and of course the new kind too.

If you want to add or readd me on plurk I am @rehymenated with the useful link there and all.

We've been reviewing the apps and will comment to each apper shortly! Once you've been accepted, our current players will post here to introduce their new characters! Tell us:

• Who you are

• Who you play and who you apped

• Maybe a little of what they're like

• How we can contact you

• Anything else you think is important!

Then other people will comment to be enthusiastic. ♥ New players can also post here if they're more comfortable with it. Everyone will be let into the IC community Monday after the daypost.

Dearest marinanites.

As some of you might've noticed, the pace of Marina Nova has changed over the past year or so. We've gotten smaller and slower. Our newbiedays aren't the parade of fresh faces as it used to be and our mistletoe mingles no longer break the comment limit. In addition to this, both of your mods went and got themselves busier offline lives which, to be quite honest, is terribly rude but probably also inevitable.

Because of these changes, we thought it was time to sit you down and have a chat.

We would like to hear your thoughts on the game. Where you'd like to see it go and what changes you want to see. What would make it easier for you to be more active? What would make it smoother for new people to come in? Marina has always been built on player participation — how can we make this more accessible to you? Do you want to keep the game the way it is, or is it time to downsize it?

We're eager to hear your thoughts and have an honest, open discussion about the future of the game. One thing is certain — this isn't ending, only changing.
