Happy New Year!

[darjeeling]

Hello writers! I hope 2017 brings you many happy things and good feelings, moreso than 2016 kind of a low bar, I admit, but let's go with it.

GOOD NEWS...

Weekly challenges will be resuming this Wednesday, January 4th with Challenge #27, and I'm going to have ~5 challenges written up ahead of time so I don't get so behind. (Also health things are like 75% conquered, so that will help too.)

To kick off the new year, I'm looking for a new group of BANNERMAKERS. If you were on the list previously, you'll need to re-volunteer, because I didn't want to assume and also because people's interests change. The frequency of how often you'll need to make them will depend on how many volunteers we get; if we get 5, you'll do one batch of three banners every 5 weeks, etc, so it's fairly low commitment.

And of course, the community restart is a perfect time to suggest some fresh THEMES AND BONUS GOALS for upcoming rounds, and having these suggestions is a big help for me ♥

I have a metric tonne of memories to catalogue since I, oops, kind of stopped doing that a while back. That's going to be somewhat of an ongoing process, please bear with me as I work my way through that backlog. If you have any questions or suggestions, please drop me a line here or on the mod contact page.

Looking forward to seeing this comm bursting with writing once again!

Hello! I've been so worried, wondering how you were doing. It's good to see you again. :)

[darjeeling]

I'm sorry for worrying you! :( I'm glad to be back.

Welcome back. :-) And, speaking as another person who has had to conquer health things in 2016, I wish you continued good luck in that endeavor.

Looking forward to writing for this challenge again!

WHY ARE BODIES SO FAULTY I demand robotic augments asap.

Welcome back! Let's hope 2017 sees us all in better health.

I've been saying for years that I want my brain put in a robot body, but no joy on that front so far.

[darjeeling]

Ditto! And thanks :)

I'm excited that things are starting back up here, I'm just hoping I'll be able to squeeze another challenge back into my overcrowded schedule. I don't seem to know the meaning of the word 'moderation' o_O

I'm eyeballing a writing challenge this year as well... only a few days in and I'm digging a time commitment hole, pfft!

[badly_knitted]

I'm swamped with so many weekly challenges that by the time I finish one week's, there are new prompts for the first ones again, and on top of that, I have a bingo card I haven't started yet and I'm still writing for a winter fest...

Writers are a very special kind of crazy...

Good luck with your challenge!

I'm happy to see your healthy return!

I kinda fell out of the wayside these past several months, but I'm starting the year fresh and reinvigorated! :D

I can't wait to see what more challenges you will in store for us. >:3

[darjeeling]

Thank you! I feel you on the falling out part, but new year is as good an impetus as any, right?

[danko_kaji]

Definitely! Six days in, and I'm feeling as charged as never before! :D

[hokuton_punch]

Welcome back! It's very good to see you again, and I'm definitely looking forward to new challenges. ♥ (I'm glad the health things are looking up, and hope they continue to improve!)

[darjeeling]

Thanks very much! :)
