Official Mini Reduced Activity Thread

[backslash]

I don't expect this to affect much outside of a couple days, but I am going to be adjusting my schedule for the week of spring break so I might be around or not around at different hours than usual.

Trying to resolve tech issues. Nothing big, and I can still get on. However, the tech issues are getting in the way of IRL priorities. I'll be more active and engaged once they're resolved and everything IRL is taken care of.

Two things! One long term, one short term:

1. My uni term has started up again and one particular class this term is going to take up, like, basically all of my writing energy. Unless I'm misunderstanding what the course is about, the short is that I have to create a novel-length work of fiction, idk exact word count but my assumption for my thing is that it's going to be 75000+ words by roughly early November (specific date the 12th but could be earlier). I'm, like, totally down to do this, I'm just aware that I'm going to sacrifice activity for characters and possibly other things on SotF in order to put wordpower into my uni work. It _might_ turn out that I'll have the spare writing power to delegate, but don't count on it.

2. My internet provider has completely crapped out and is refusing to work. I can just use my mobile as a hotspot/access the site on mobile but in terms of writing/participating in Discord conversations I'm going to reel back because I have pretty limited data and I don't know how much using my phone as a hotspot will use. This is more like a formalized away but a. this is too open-ended in terms of when it's going to be fixed and b. I didn't want to possibly overwrite one thing by putting the other thing in a different thread.

But yeah. That's it. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My work schedule is changing again and at the moment nobody seems to know for sure what our actual hours and duties are going to be. Depending on what happens, my availability might be affected but I am unlikely to have to actually take a full Away.

I talked about this over in Mini chat, but there are literal wild fires in my area. I'm not in direct contact with any flames, but there are ashes snowing from the sky, the air quality's shit, and it's hot. We're also due for a power outage this evening.

So, I am also dealing with wildfires in my area, to the point that I’ve had to evacuate my house, at least for a little bit. So If I need to post and I don’t respond for a while, that’s why. Hopefully this will be over with soon.

Should've posted this like, a week or so ago -- real life's kicking my ass a bit and my focus is not remotely on the site. I'll try and spit out a post if when my head's in it, but it really isn't right now.

[Jilly]

Meant to post this earlier but ehehehe whoops

My work schedule for this week and next is kind of all over the place along with doing some last minute crunch/studying/stress crying for my wastewater operator certification exam on the 10th along with the state of Things so my SOTF work output is kinda being put on the backburner right now. I will try to post for the several people that I owe by tomorrow but thank you for being patient, though if you wanna go ahead and skip me for the time being in any threads I'm in feel free to.

The rest of 2020 is going to be hit and miss for my activity. Having a tough time with the holiday season since I'm not able to see my family, and so I'm spending more time with my girlfriend, which means I'm not really home as much. Just the whole thing's drained my creativity a bit. I'll try and get posts up so I'm not leaving people in the lurch, but I'm gonna be pretty spotty until the new year, I expect.

[MurderWeasel]

I was gonna post as Away but I have every intention of maintaining actual RP activity so meh, goes here.

From ~January 4 to January 8 I'm taking a recharge/reset span and will be in chat/around OOC areas a lot less. Obviously if a major disaster that cannot wait until the 9th occurs I'm around to help with that, but if it's not hideously vital I'll get to it when I'm back.

Got a family emergency, energy/response time may not be up to usual levels.

[Shiola]

hi hello

I'm alive, just dealing with a lot of external stressors right now. Gonna try and get a post + oneshot out soon but I'm quite mentally/creatively sapped right now.

[Polybius]

My computer's broke. I'll phonepost every so often but it is viciously uncomfortable to me.

[MurderWeasel]

In the last 15 minutes, both of my computers BSODed. One failed to repair vital startup information, and the other apparently can't connect to the internet anymore. Luckily, the former just mysteriously starts working again after a few minutes, but I think it may be on its last legs for real and there's a chance it blows out before too long. If that happens I will be much less around.

[Tapey]

Hello yall. Basically I'll be less active for this month due to me completing my final year project for my degree. I will still be responding to threads, just not as active as usual.
