Hey there 👋 I'm posting this message in the News section so I don't take away from TWotN thread
So, where do we go from here... as you might have already guessed, this post is an explanation as to why I've been gone these past few months. The short answer as to why I've been gone was originally due to technical issues - my computer, which had become increadingly unreliable to work with, finally broke down late in late 2020. Then in December my mother had an ovariectomy, so a lot of my time was devoted to picking up the slack while she was on the mend. Fortunately now I have a new computer and my mom is almost completely healed, but I know that explanation might not be enough for some people, and I can understand if you feel annoyed or let down by me
I know that I've been gone again for a really long time, and despite the circumstances that caused me to be away for so long, I'm still really guilty about my absence - I feel like a heel for disappearing after posting about admin inquiries and for not being able to celebrate Christmas with you guys. Even now I still feel super anxious about coming back after so long, but at the end of the day I just need to get over myself and start rebuilding my presence on here again
I'm heavily considering creating a Discord server as an alternative for this Wiki, since the Wiki is primarily being used as a social platform anyway, and my articles and pages for my respective stories and characters have more than a little dust and cobwebs on them at this point. I'm considering the possibility of finding publishers to represent my works, which too will most likely make the Wiki even more irrelevant (plus yeah that new layout is getting on my nerves). Don't worry, I won't be deleting this Wiki anytime soon or making any such hasty decisions - just considering a more effective platform for us to connect on besides the current forums
I hope everyone is staying safe during these times, especially those who are being effected by the terrible weather lately. I wish 2021 will be a better year for us than 2020, and I hope I can be a better bureaucrat and friend to you all <3
