Hey guys, I'm sorry to say it, but I think I'll be taking a temporary break from the RP. I unfortunately haven't been feeling too much for motivation for it, nor have I had any ideas, so it's been hard. So for now, I'm taking a break just to try to refocus and hopefully come up with some motivation along the way. I may participate in the writing contests, and may write a few things on the side. I'm sure you'll see me around!
I've written myself out for now, unless something more is requested.
Really sad to read this… But I also understand RP's not something we can force out of someone.
Is the lack of inspiration really all there is? Or was there some other problem that pushed you to this decision (like, wrong hours, feeling cut out or something we could adjust)?
I really hope that whatever decision you make, you'll be back soon. I didn't forget the plans we had made for the Arrapago Scenario, and wish to have you there for it!
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

If I'm not back in time for them, then let me know at somepoint near them. The last thing I'm going to do is screw you over for that idea!
But mostly, it really is a lack of inspiration for my character. It's also combined with a wacky work schedule that doesn't really allow me to have any plans or be able to tell anyone anything concrete for my availability except for "After 9pm EST", which is far too late for most people. Nor would I want times to change.
Heck for all I know, I could be back two weeks for now, and all this fuss could be for nothing!
Find a day where you think you can show, and submit it as a suggestion. We're probably over due to redo RP days anyways. I know Wed was one that was set up due to a request from me and someone else, but I'm on a completely different schedule now and pretty much every day is equal in my chance to attend.
Just came to my mind.. This isn't the first time saerun left the group without notice, and that led to bad moments between her and the others (much like it did with them and daltan).. I'm not saying to rewrite your exit into something more "normal", but could sae send us a message with some peaceful excuse (Like a vacation or something ) to avoid fruitless searching, followed by fear, worry and angst?
