This is not a warning or notice, this is a plea for help that if I post even once outside of time-sensitive topics to give me very angry and rude PMs until I stop because I have one project due Thursday morning, one due Friday midnight, a competition next Saturday and three exams back-to-back the week after. I will of course be posting(it's literally how I de-stress), but please make me stop posting so much because at this point I might as well fail all my subjects.

Hi yall, I just wanted to briefly say that I will be taking a hiatus from Discord. I will be remaining in the WCC server so that you can still DM me easily. My DMs are open for the duration of this hiatus, but I need to take a step back for my mental health. I am hoping this break will allow me to focus on RPing without the social stress-anxiety that is mostly just a bi-product of IRL things. Feel free to DM me at anytime, and I may reach out to you as well as necessary! I ask that you DM me directly with created topic links/post spam if possible. If you aren't comfortable with that, you can also...

I don’t know how long this will last for since I’m sick! don’t expect much posts from me since I feel horrible and I need to get myself some rest and all so I’ll reply to this when the break ended thanks for understanding!!

hello all!

i am finally taking a break from work after almost 8 months and will be relaxing out of town. im planning on bringing my laptop with me and will be reachable. my priority is relaxing and recharging but i will also make sure to keep an eye on any topics where littlepaw is needed.

if i dont get back to you within a day, please feel free to nudge me! if a notification accidently gets closed or i dont see it, my brain can sometimes forget it exists.

thanks everyone~

hey guys. I’ve loved my time here, sporadic as it has often been. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the time to continue to be a part of WCC, as much as I’d like to. My attempts to stay to one or two characters and a manageable amount of topics just,,, don’t work. This forum is just too dang fun! I’m doing well, but WCC simply takes too much of my time, and I doubt I’ll end up in a position anytime soon where that changes. Love you guys, hope you continue to do well, and so sorry to everyone I’m leaving hanging! This has, unfortunately, been a long time...

Yeah it’s a short break guys don’t worry but I can’t keep up with all my posts so I’m gonna take a 3-4 day break to take some time off Wcc that’s really all I have to say don’t expect posts unless it’s important topics!

Heyo all,

Finally got my monkey brain to decide on this and I think my current plan of action is to do my best to finish up all my current topics and then take a lil break from wcc (posting wise). I just cannot muster up time or energy for topics rn with wedding things closing in and irl stuff happening and i hate making people wait on me for replies TnT.

I’ll still be vibin’ on discord and whatnot and chances are I’ll be back someday lol
(no one can ever truly leave wcc…). I just can’t have this extra stress...

Today, as I was working on some stuff, my PC's monitor straight up died. After some investigation I've narrowed it down to the graphics card (not the monitor itself, or the cables, which would be much easier to fix/replace), and I've asked someone I know IRL who knows more about computers to come look at it, but until he's done so and I've figured out what needs fixed/replaced and if I even can I'll be using my mom's laptop. This means I can only use it when she isn't, which isn't super often, and means that outside of priority topics (ceremonies, Gatherings, other major events) posts might slow...

Hey everyone, I'll be traveling back to school and getting ready for classes so start so I will be slow to post and respond to dms the next few days, but I'll be back to regular activity soon! Stay warm in all this crazy weather

unfortunately, I don't have a set date, but I'm just taking a bit of a wee rest because I'm suffering a bit of burnout that hasn't quite released its grip on me. If there are any topics I'm in that are at risk of expiring please let me know and I'll post asap, and ofc I will be around for any needs that you all may have!

This is just an update to let you all know that while I'll be trying to remain active for these next few months, I will be slow in replying to topics. The reason for this is that I'm retaking a class that I failed before due to time constraints and don't want that to happen twice. This is a very demanding class and is already kind of stressing me out, but I'll be doing my best to stay on top of the important things like keeping the ranks page up to date, posting in gatherings/other SC happenings, ceremonies, etc etc. Feel free to message me if I'm slacking anywhere or on any topics, I'll do my...

Activity:

This is in line with previous HR survey results and I'm glad to see it! I know my activity took a hit over the holidays, starting back with Thanksgiving, but I've tried to stay active with everything going on. As usual, I hope I can keep this up in the future. <3

Hello! I'm sorry I don't normally post my HR results, and I would like to start doing that going forward. Whether it's good or bad, I would like to let you in on my thoughts! For now, I won't be showing most of the comments even though they are all very nice and sweet!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this survey, and I want to let you know I read every single comment and suggestion left on my portion of the results.

Heatherberry HR Survey Results:

These are my results from the most recent survey. I appreciate those of you who took time to respond, and all of the feedback I was given.

I'm glad you guys have noticed my hard work! I really...

Hey WCC! Just wanted to join with everyone else in sharing my results and explaining a thing or two.

Results:

Hello, WCC! It's that time where I share my results and what I can fix and have noticed from them!

Considering how my December basically...

Thank you to everyone who participated in the HR survey! I'll be going over the results here for transparency's sake :)



I'm glad to see that everything is neutral or positive! I'm always trying to reach for all positive though, so I'll be trying to step up my activity. I know I was pretty on-and-off this last quarter, and I'm trying to be more consistent since after...

Hey guys, just a quick notice that I've gotten whatever bug is currently making its rounds in my community. Thankfully it isn't COVID, but I'm struggling hardcore. Posting will be slow but shouldn't stall, so if you need me at all, please PM me or ping me on Discord~!

Just making sure the post is here in case I poof for the week. Classes start back for me on Monday and I end my current job on the 11th, so its a big week for me~!

heya! As I’m sure you guys have noticed, I’ve been kind of slow posting lately. please, please send me a PM if you’ve got a topic I haven’t responded to! that makes it much easier for me to stay on top of things, so don’t worry about bugging me :D

Topics I Know I Need To Respond To:
-gale and golden hunting training (and start a fighting training)
- WindClan hunting competition
- cloudy’s moonstone
- more?

Okay I will be focusing almost exclusively on Falconmoon since my muse seems to take a nose dive every now and then and since I want to fully return to the site, I am trying not to overwhelm myself with other characters. Something is going to happen to my other characters eventually to make their lack of presence make sense. I hope this isn't inconvenient for anyone. I do believe fully focusing on only one character will yield more activity and better quality posts in the coming months. Thank you for your understanding!

So, I recently started school, and with more stuff on my plate it has finally dawned on me that I may have bitten off more than I can chew. And so I must ask all of you for help.

I'm looking to cut down my activity to less than 250 in a month. Which may seem a lot for some people, but I currently have 50, almost 60, posts to my name this month and its the 5th. If any of you see me going over 250 posts a month, either send me a very angry(but nice)PM or just don't reply to my topics yet. Chances are I'm using WCC as an excuse for not doing stuff I should be doing.

Of...

While I've been aiming to get back into things at 110%, and fully plan on keeping up with that + ramping it up slowly, I've run into one major roadblock: a close relative of mine is currently in the hospital, and likely won't be with us much longer. My household is generally the contact point for this, and we've been asked to give people rides to and from, so while I've been trying to keep to an every-day or every-other-day post schedule in the past month or so (outside of periods where I'm not around a computer), I might be a little slower than usual. I'm hoping that it won't impact my presence...

Hi WCC!

Pretty obviously, my activity's taken a hit over the last month or so (I've lost track a bit). In hindsight, I should have expected it, considering the end of the year is always chaotic for me, but it blindsided me regardless. For a while now, it's felt like something's waiting in the way for me every time I think about WCC. If I'd known I'd be run down for so long, I would have put up an activity notice sooner, but... hindsight.

In any case, for various reasons--work being especially difficult this holiday season, brief computer trouble, and various health...

Hi friends!!!

I’m out on vacation for awhile and the holiday busy busy has got me with running all over the place.  

I didn’t wanna drop off the face of the site with no notice so that’s what this is.


All my characters are just sorta chilling for the time being.


At some point I will try and work in a spruce and scorch post (two and I literally counted down the days for them to come back so I do wanna do that and I have muse for spruce). But other than that I will be out for a bit.  

Probably back mid January???...

Activity will be normal after new years! (thought I could handle posting during the holidays… lol rip that dream). The holiday season is always very family oriented and busy for me, so sorry for my lack of posts lately :’D

From tomorrow until the 1st.

My grandmother is staying with us for the week (thanks Speedy for speaking it into existence lol) and I'll be spending time with family over Christmas too. I don't expect I'll be as busy as I was over Thanksgiving (and hopefully I won't get sick this time) but I am still going to post this just in case.

I might be slow at posting, though ceremonies and moonstones will of course be my priority when I'm online. I'll be on the discord as well as checking up on the help thread and other minimod duties, so don't be afraid...

Should have posted this earlier but I'm on vacation and won't have access to a laptop so all my posts will be less frequent and on mobile until next year. Feel free to dm me here or on discord if I'm needed asap.

Have a happy holiday season yall!

Hello all, I should have posted sooner. But I'm on vacation 12/19-29th. Additionally, I flew with congestion and now have a double middle ear infection lol. I'll post when I can on mobile, but I don't want to stress to much :)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u3U0DiF-fT6T9osSBhy1tamXMCMjbY791HtmwRCDkbE/edit?usp=sharing

I wish I could do it all in one, but the doc has 37 pages, and many images from the survey that I didn't have the heart to re-upload and re-adjust every single one.

But here it is! The Staff Survey Response from Reap, Romantica, and I! Some of it is unfortunately outdated in small aspects, but the information and desire still remains the...

If any of you where wondering why I went inactive the past 2 days, I just had really stressful Spanish finals, luckily I managed to do well on those, however I have math the next 2 days which is going to be even more stressful (Anybody else suck at math?). So yeah it won’t affect my activity for much longer. Well then, hopefully I return to posting every day soon!
Se ya when I do - Your Every Day Cat

I won't be posting from Friday the 15th to Tuesday the 19th as I will be traveling home and then getting surgery, I will keep you all updated if anything changes. Happy holidays!

Good evening/daytime of your choice, everyone!

So, I got back from my honeymoon, and BOY has it been a doozy.
I got back to my apartment flooded. And I mean flooded. Every inch of our carpet had water on it, so I've been staying with my father-in-law for this last week. Then, last Wednesday, husband's car broke down.

We found out today we're all good to go to move back in. So, we're moving back into our place tomorrow!
... Also dropped like, $2800 on my husband's car, because of course it was the catalytic converter.

So, I took another unexpected...

So unfortunately there’s been a big covid outbreak at my place of work among staff and residents. I’m fine, and i will be fine, but my activity not so fine. a quarter of the staff in my department as of now have covid and i’m already picking up a bunch of shifts to cover. This job is also an hour away from home so it is a lot of travel, since the outbreak started i’ve been getting home between 9-11pm at night and i get up at 5:30am so finding time to post isn’t particularly easy. Next week i also have several close shifts at my other job so there’s that too....

Hey gang! I'm coming back, but there are two caveats that come with this. (I don't know if I'm using caveat correctly, excuse me if I'm not).

- I am INCREDIBLY unmotivated.
I'm seeing if forcing myself back in will help me get re-motivated, but no guarantees.

- There's no guarantees that I will end up roleplaying
Back in 2018-2021 is when I really enjoyed roleplaying, and I want to get back into it! But it might just not be my thing anymore. This doesn't mean that I'm not going to be here if it isn't a me thing, just that I'll be on the site doing other things. (I.E....

I am sure that this has come as a major and abrupt surprise to many of you, especially since my activity seemed to have improved in the past week. The sad truth is, I received a bit of my results from school today, and my grades were far from what I expected. My grades have always been of the greatest importance to me, and so I must cut off other commitments such as WCC, as well as other sites, in order to focus fully on my studies. I apologise to anyone who had a topic ongoing with me, as well as anyone who had characters that were related to mine. I truly do apologize for the abrupt depature.

(This turned out a lot longer than I expected it to. But there was a lot to talk about.)

I didn’t make a survey response for the previous two quarters this year because there weren’t really enough responses to give actual responses to or commentary on (the September survey only got 6 responses in total, and before that June’s only had 8--neither of which had more than a single comment about me specifically--and the overall results had remained steady enough that I didn’t see reason to make a whole announcement at the time).

That’s definitely...

Hi guys, title says it all

Whether or not I should stick around has been on my mind for the past few months, and it recently became clear to me that I'm no longer fit to hold my responsibilities here. For the past four years I've been a part of this lovely community, and for the past year and a half I've had the wonderful opportunity to work with it's staff and keep it going. It is something that I took pride and found joy in, I had always wanted to be a part of this site's staff. I found joy and fulfillment in my work here, I loved that I was able to collaborate with such an awesome...

While I will potentially be around on and off on-site and on Discord, I won't be home for part of next week: I'm going to visit a friend of mine, and while I normally just borrow my mom's laptop, she's staying at a different hotel than I am for this trip; so I'll be limited to doing things on my phone while I'm away--meaning any posts I do make while I'm gone will probably be just quick ones. Because of this, I've asked Romantica to handle things relating to ShadowClan leadership for those couple days while I'm not immediately available.

It's a really short trip during a season where...

I doubt most of you read other people’s moonstone topics, so I’m letting y’all know Duskpaw passed away during hers just before the clans left home. Your characters should probably be aware of this as Duskpaw knew just about everybody in WindClan.

She is available for Moonstones herself, and would be eager to help other cats out any way she can!

Hey wcc! Bitter here again. while I tried to be more active, but I couldn’t uphold that everything just got even worse somehow, and I’ve started scheduling more therapy sessions, meaning I won’t be as active practicing for exams and checking my feelings with a therapist is needed for me. I hope I’ll be ok because my life is an oof to me right now. Well-being matters more than silly cat roleplay, though I still love roleplay. I just don’t think the current state I’m in allows me to rejoin. When I’m ready to rejoin, I will. I’m not saying I shun the...

So I probably should have posted this a bit earlier, and you guys have probably noticed already this week. My grandmother is staying with us for Thanksgiving and she tends to drive me insane and is a nightmare to deal with, which makes it genuinely difficult to post without letting my own irritation bleed into my writing. I've come down with the flu or something (negative covid test, though) which is also draining what energy I had.

Expect posts to be a bit slower this week, and I'm sorry in advance for how my writing quality is going to tank.

I'll of course be focusing on...

Hey all! It occurred to me that while I've talked about this in the Discord I haven't posted a formal notice yet. So Imma get on that.

Right now (December 1st--December 13th, though it's also been the past November week) is my Finals time at college. I'm a senior and this is my last year, so my finals are especially intense. I barely have any free time, and when I do, I often don't have the energy to post. So if I get to post at all I will be focusing only on the most important, time-sensitive topics. Unfortunately most rping will have to wait! Sorry about that.

December 14th...

What's happening, you ask? I'm going to China and trekking across a quater of the country to three major cities as well as seeing my family there! So why can't I post? Well, not only will my schedule be PACKED, China is also, uh... China has a very big wall, and I don't mean the physical one. So no, I can't access Discord either.

Goodbye everyone! I'll see you after missing the gathering, activity check and probably one or two sitewide topics :D

Also, I really like my new siggy. Thanks Xaan.

hello all!

this time of the year is especially busy for me, so I’ll likely be slow posting and such.

Hey everyone I will be traveling tomorrow(11/21) and be spending thanksgiving with my family so I won't be posting much from (11/21-11/26). I will still be reachable by discord if you need anything

So, for those who may not have known, I got married on October 14th! Now that my semester is coming to an end (and I'll be 21), I'm about to go on my honeymoon!

I will be away from December 2nd to December 9th. I will have limited access on November 30th and December 1st! If you need anything from me in that time period, any/all responses will be delayed.

I'm going on a Disney Cruise for that week, so I will be out of the country! As such, my access will be limited to cruise wifi-but because it's my honeymoon, I won't be spending too much time glancing at...

Hey WCC! I’m new around here only been here for a few days I’d say but I’m going to Japan! Because my families there and I wanna spend the holidays there with them! So I’ll go at the 26th and come back around January 3-9 meaning I may miss the January activity notice too im staying till January for new years well owo that’s all I may come back earlier but I’ll post in member announcements if I got too

Rarely do I post inactivity notices, but these days have been a rough patch for me. I just lost a loved one this morning and I'm currently very ill. I'll still check Discord and possibly occasionally join in conversations, but I'll become less frequent these days. It shouldn't be for too long (at least until my sickness gets better & my mental health has improved), but I'd appreciate having a short break for some time on WCC.

(As for IC topics/posts, my characters will be unavailable (with the exception being Fawn should there be major developments in sitewide plot/information MCs should...
