Hello! I’m worried about making this post, but I’ve decided that it’s probably the right thing to do; the main is officially closing. I’ve remained upbeat about this group, but I don’t really feel like the drive/inspiration is there as much as I want it to be and losing more members than we’ve been gaining is disheartening, so while it’s been an extremely fun ride and I love this group very much, I’m going to close the main now rather than let it slowly peter out. That being said, you are welcome to continue using your characters for as long as you wish (I will still probably get on Louis every once and a while), interact here if you want, whatever, but no activity limits will be imposed, or no new updates will come from the main. This does, of course, give more freedom, and you can mess with the timeline however you wish, do whatever you want -- consider your character my gift to you, and at this point, they are now your intellectual property, since you’ve done so much more with them than I could ever have. So, you’re welcome to branch off and use them in 1x1s, whatever else. I only ask that you not use them in your own bio rps or whatever (that goes without saying right?), and this extends to current members only. I can’t thank you enough for being a part of Finding Alfie for 3 months. If you strongly agree with this decision, I don’t really know what to do other than apologize -- you may message me if you wish, and we could discuss possibilities of you taking the group off my hands if you are so inclined. But mostly I’m just sorry and I’m glad for the adventure that we got thus far. 

In regards to the Dani applications in my inbox, I understand that it sucks to have applied for a group that may be closing, but it’s much better for me to turn down application to a dying group rather than accept and welcome you as tumbleweeds roll by. I encouraged applications because I had hoped I could get some for a variety of roles and revive the dash, but that was probably quite ambitious. I would like to thank you for your time and interest though, and I appreciate your understanding. 

Hello, this is just a notice that I will be mostly absent from the main from April 3rd-12th, so any concerns regarding the group will be addressed upon my return. This group is fairly self-sufficient so I’m not too worried about taking a break, however, please continue on with the plot drop and interaction, since I will be doing an activity check when I get back on the 12th. Any blogs that have been inactive for five days will be re-opened unless you message me prior to that date. 

Hi, guys! I know it’s been a bit slow on the main since I’ve been trying to hold off on adding too much until we get roles filled (I planned for the characters to be on the road until they did), however, I think now is a good of a time as any for the characters to arrive at the Grand Canyon. They’ll be there until the next letter, but for now, they’ll just be camping out and exploring, so there’s different opportunities for paras there. For every role we get filled, I’ll probably post something new to go with it, whether it be an ask game, a challenge, or a plot drop (my ideas for these are starting to build up in the drafts). 

That being said, once all of the roles are filled, I will be previewing and releasing new characters. These characters are supposed to come into play once the group reaches Colorado, however, this may be subject to change depending on where the plot is by the time I can get the current roles filled. But new roles are out of the question until the original eleven are taken and solid! 

Alright, I'm just going to kick off this post by reminding you of the two open characters.

Louis Whaley

I understand that these are going to be tough shoes to fill, but since this is such a small group, it's imperative that we fill them as soon as possible. There are lots of things planned for the future and it's just better that we get them filled before those things happened. I would have liked to get them filled before this weekend, but I understand that this may not be easy. But I'll keep promoting and praying that I can get someone to have an interest in my boys!!

However, speaking of this weekend, the character birthday list indicates that we have two very special birthdays coming up! I don't think this year is a leap year, but I don't see any reason why we can't celebrate. So, would next Saturday evening be a good time for you guys to hold Danika and Donnie's birthday party? It would follow the same format as our last event, maybe even a similar timeframe (though probably a little later, taking into account when things got started up last time). Please let me know if this conflicts with your schedule sooner rather than later so I can release official times for this event soon, probably on Wednesday. 

Also, please do not forget about the challenges! There is, of course, no time limit on these, so just get to it when you can, but I've really enjoyed hearing about your headcanons regarding your character's futures! Here is a link to the challenge - if you've posted yours and I've missed it, always let me know. Generally, I will 'like' your posts to let you know that I've seen it. And also that it probably made me cry.

You are all more than welcome to post on your character accounts since this roleplay is now open. Here are a few things to keep in mind in case you missed a previous post.

They are currently at St. Clair's and they have recently received Alfie's letter
