UMM OOPS I disappeared off the face of the planet, sorry. Wow, I really was gone since early 2012???

..........

In the interim I had another baby, and now both small ones are getting enough independence I can write some again. So I'm back, I hope for good!

So so sorry for the long absence

Welcome back
And nice to meet you

Congrats on the baby. I want to be all nosy and ask if it's a boy or girl and what's the name, and all that good stuff, but if that's weird just ignore this. xD Seriously though, I know life gets in the way. It's okay. ^^

I'm not really sure where we stand with the thread you were on. I really need to talk to Washi and see what's she's doing. You had a non-Seishi Hokkan-based character, right? We could work something out, though it would mean starting a new thread, if Washi doesn't return. Still, all in all, it's manageable, I think. ^^ I can't remember, that was your only character, wasn't it?

If you do need to start a new thread then I could do some NPCs or introduce Sei's family since they're in Hokkan. x3 The Suzaku group is also heading there, I believe. It just might take a while. xD

I did! and I see you unretired him :> so yay. It's fine, I don't mind starting a new thread! We can always time skip I mean....that might make more sense anyway. (also girl, and her name is Iris)

Masquerade I will TOTALLY be happy to start a thread with you

Yeah? x3 Oh! Since your character is also from Hokkan then you and I should discuss if my character and yours knew one another and, if so, then what their relationship was/is. :3

(Awww! Such a pretty name! Okay, I'm done being nosy now. xD)

If Washi's not going to be coming back soonish, I've got two Genbu seishi wandering about, and my Goddess character, Ranya, was last seen in Hokkan...so yeah. Just offering more character possiblilties for a new thread/activity. ^^

That seems fun. I want to join the thread too
And I agree with Hotori. It is such a pretty name

okay~ link me to the characters in question so I can read bios and think of a premise? Or should I just start a thread and everyone will find their way in???

My two Genbu Seishi are Tenrai and Gatsurin.

Masquerade's people are mostly NPCs, so there's not really a bio to link to, but I'll let her tell you more about them.

Hikaru's got a Genbu Seishi who hasn't been approved yet (I'm waiting for her to finish the bio), but if you want to check it out so far, the bio is currently Here.

Does that help any? xD

omg I could have sworn I posted saying I had guests in town BUT APPARENTLY NOT??? I am going to try to read up on all of these threads and apps and then get posts tonight or tomorrow. In the meantime, since picking up activity is a goal, have we thought about listing on any directory sites?

Glad to see you're back. I was wondering where you'd gotten to. xD

I tried listing us when I first started the board, but I couldn't tell it helped a lot. I've also tried spreading the link far and wide on other boards, but I'm not sure how much that helped either.

Still, if you have any ideas where to promo, I'm all for it. I want us to have more than a couple active members, you know? xD

I think that, at least with the directories I'm a part of it is more helpful to post up want ads (like "hey we have THIS position open") and to lurk around the "looking for RP" section than it is to actually list. The other sites I'm on get most of their traffic from directories and affiliates, anyway, and it can't hurt.

I'm on RPG-Directory and recently someone posted an interest check for Fushigi Yuugi, so surely there's some interest there, and also R3Town (ignore the fact it says I'm staff; I stepped down for time reasons and apparently haven't got moved yet). RPG-D is bigger and would cast a wider net; R3T is very particular about what they allow to be listed.

Thanks for those. ^^ I'll check them out in a little bit.

Maybe that'll drum up some new, active members for us. ^^
