User blog:Colin687/Inactivity

Hello fellow DARPians, Colin687 here.

(before you go ":O", just know this is only minimal and temporary)

Sadly, I've written this blog to let you know I will not be as active as I once was. This is super terrible timing for what I've got going on IC, but... I'm going to somehow try and keep what I've got going on going.

This is all do to real life (of course, isn't it a pain in the butt?). I've just recently been hired to Subway (Hi, welcome to subway), and there are only 7 people hired there including the manager, so, I work a LOT of hours. Not to mention I have school, so ... homework, which sucks. Uhhmm... (I'm trying to keep myself from being sad about this...) basically, I won't be as active as I usually am, which was once an hour or two everyday. I'll now only be active whenever I don't have homework or I'm not working, so...

Of course, this begs the question of what will happen to my characters and the things I do on DARP (teaching and Prophet.

Colin Gillystem will be moving on to a ministry job in the Department for Magical Beasts (long name), hopefully, hopefully Lyss will allow him in (I'll fill an application for him later). Which also means Gillystem will no longer be teaching at Hogwarts, cause that's the main thing I don't have time for now. So, User:Bond em7, I guess try and find someone to take his place? I mean, I don't wanna give up his position, I love RPing him as a Professor, but ... I just sorta can't now. :/

The Daily Prophet will... well... I haven't figured that out exactly. I have about 4-5 choices I'd like it to possibly go to (character wise, I feel like I'd still be able to look over publishing and stuff). Basically whoever would take up the director position will try and get stories fit together (while I'll be gone), and I'll try and do some of my own when I can but... that won't be too often. The 4-5 people I have in mind are (if they choose to take it), Ckohrs0221 (who has leadership skills and existing member), Dmullins677 (who has leadership skills and existing member), Sonofapollo (who has worked with the Prophet before and has existing member), User:Madeyfire (who has shown interest in something similar to this {quibbler}), or Echostar (who has great leadership skills and is a good writer). No offense to anyone else, but these are the people I could see having the most success after I'm gone and all that, so, I know I want one of these 5 to take the reigns.

Blake Walters, who few will know, just got Vera Wright pregnant, and I'll try to RP with that as much as possible.

Alrick Kunze has JUST started his dark turn, so I hate the inactivity at this moment where he is concerned. Liss is going to be helping me out to keep his crap on track.

While I hate to be admitting I will not be as active as I usually am, I still love this place, and I'm going to try and be here as much as I can.

Yeah ... That's it.
