Yeah, I'll skip. I apologize for wasting everyone's time, but I'm finalizing my coursework and I'm pretty much drowning, which I didn't quite expect. Sorry again. I'll go back to normal on the 16th when I submit my final assignment.
Thanks for letting me know. Don't feel sorry about skipping- life happens and school is important! Speaking of, I may be going back to college this fall. So, I totally understand the time needed to get all that stuff done. I bet you can use what you started in the next post. @Louanne Learning, I believe it's your turn now.
Things are really tough, but I am trying my best! I'll make it to the finish line. Then I can turn my focus back here so we can craft a nice story I also bought a bunch of books that I want to read. And I also want to watch Your Lie In April since I've heard lots of good things about it. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to the middle of May. My results come out in June. I'll tell you then. If I can manage an average of 70% or above, I hit my goal, and I can rest easy. I'd say that I have a 40% chance of hitting that grade. We'll see. That sounds exciting! Good luck. If you don't mind me asking, what will you study? Delta is the leader. Sorry I couldn't answer that in time for your post.
I know you can do it!!! Focus on your schoolwork- this story is for fun. So, please pour your soul into your school stuff for now. I understand that feeling. What do you want to do in May? Sit outside or just take a long nap? I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I know you can do it. Thank you. I plan on studying History.
@Louanne Learning this is an awesome post! Thank you. I am impressed with how fast you turned it around! OMG.
I have an entire summer ahead. I'll have some responsibilities (my parents have a business here in Crete and I help them run it) but right now, I have that and my university work. It's a lot, and with my uni out of the way, I'll be able to enjoy some free time after such a nightmarish year. There is lots I want to do in the summer, starting with getting a driving license. I have my Grandfather's old Opel car that I fixed this winter. It's a super nice 90s car. It's old but... it only has 25k km on the engine, so it's practically new! Sure, the body has some issues, but I'm slowly fixing those. I'm also going to finish my novel. It's been long enough. And I'm also probably going to win another contest or two. Plus, I'll spend my summer in the best place in the world—Crete—so it'll be a super nice time either way. Summers are magical here.
OMG. I am sure they are. WOW. You get to spend your summer on Crete. Post a pic if you feel comfortable. I'd love to see the scenery.
I've posted a couple in the Member Picture Gallery thread. I'll link some posts there: Here is Samaria Gorge—I posted that yesterday. It's not a picture I took but it's still cool. And here is an aerial shot from up in the sky. I took that one with my drone. This is a picture of Ayia Marina. It's my wallpaper. Finally, here is the Venetian Harbour (we call it "Old Town"). The Venetians built it when they occupied the island way back in history. I've linked posts rather than pictures because I tend to include some explanations. Pretty much all of these pictures were taken in the summer. As a bonus, I had also made this blog post about an abandoned summer home.
I think the young women have to make the journey on their own. Dusca would be an outside influence that may interfere in their character development, which should rely on one another. All the characters will eventually meet up in Cliffcross for Act III - which will include the climax. Act II will consist of showing how it is that all of the characters eventually do end up in Cliffcross, including their own individual journeys.
Hey hey. We will definitely be able to carry all of this over to the new forum when the time comes. Here is the announcement link if you haven't read it already: https://www.writingforums.org/threads/were-building-a-new-forum.178426/#post-2048602 I know you've been backing everything up. I've mentioned that a few times here for exactly this reason, which I knew was coming. I'd be sure to have your character sheets and whatever lore/codex backed up as well. We can discuss how you'd like to recreate your progress on the new forum. There will be some better functionality with the updated Xenforo software. For example, your character sheets can be assembled into more straightforward documents instead of the scroll-a-rooney threads they are in now. For example, if you click on the Rules section it takes you to cohesive document that is much easier to navigate. That's called a redirect style thread, I believe. I'm still getting the hang of the software. Lots of options, though. We'll put together what works best for everyone with an eye toward expansion in the future. @Gravy can continue as the mini-mod for that particular area. You guys have some time to get organized, so I suggest you focus on backup and recreation.
Wonderful to hear! I read the announcement and am so excited for the new forum. Thank you so much for all the work you and Moose have been doing. Also, I assume you will accept donations, too? Thank you so much for the advanced notice. I I have the RP and Character Discussion Thread/Lore Index/Character Index. I need to get the newest RP posts and the Lore Discussion and the OOC Thread. I also have the character sheets and Lore Encyclopedia (I think. I will double-check everything). Speaking of: As of today, I am placing a temporary hold on the RP until I complete back it up. Please use only the OOC thread for now. I hope you will all understand. I would love to do that. I think the thing we need most is just people. But also, I like the idea of not having to make jump-links in the character info posts, etc. I don't want to get too complicated, but having a place for ALL roleplays to have separate listing of Lore/character indexes, etc. So many options, it's exciting. And thank you! I am happy to remain Mini-Mod of the RP Fourm. Thank you so much.
ANNOUNCEMENT As of today, I am placing a hold on the It Began in a Tavern Roleplay until I have backed everything up. I will be locking threads when I have all the information copied. This is so I remember what I've done and keeps new posts from being made. Do not worry. The OOC thread will be open and I will do my best to back it all up. But the story itself is on hold until further notice or the new forum is up and running. Thank you for understanding. I want to carefully preserve everything I can for the digital jump. In the meantime:
If you want to discuss ideas for the new RP Forum, feel free to do so here! I would love to hear them. @Louanne Learning @ps102 @SoulFire @EFMingo @trevorD @Sledge - Please feel free to join in!
A built-in Wiki-like thing would be super cool, if feasible. Because yeah, the current setup is rather primitive and hard to navigate.
Okay, we are going to discuss the archiving of the RP forum here. I have the PDFs of several threads. I will then split them from the PDF into individual posts. When I do it by post from the site, I get nervous I will miss one. Another thing I wanted to discuss was what kind of structure you wanted for the new RP Forum. Also, if either of you have a desire to run your own games, too. (@Louanne Learning, I will be replying to the Galleria RP soon!)
And okay! I realized I made a mistake with the PDFs. The quoted information that's too long that it needs a 'read more' link, won't save properly. I need to make to open all the links before saving.
