Hi everyone! The admin team were discussing significant events in the personal lives of our members, and we have recognized a need for a hiatus from today until March 14th. You can still write, post and plot during this time, however we know that there have been a lot of demands on time and energy, and we want this to be a place where we come together to have fun and be creative. We never want anyone to struggle to keep up to date with the group. If anyone requires any additional help, someone to chat to or wants to ask any questions about the hiatus, please feel free to message the main or tag the admins in the group chat, and we’ll do the best we can. Thank you all for being the most wonderful members, and we hope this gives everyone a bit of reassurance and flexibility over the next month.

Hey guys! With the holidays coming up, we know that activity can be difficult to keep up due to family and professional obligations. Due to this, the admin team has decided to grant an activity lapse from December 14th to December 28th. During this time, you are of course free and encouraged to post, but activity checks will not be performed in order to prevent anyone from stressing during the holidays! Those of you who were here last year will remember a similar arrangement -- it's one that we use to make everyone's lives a little easier! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on the main! Thanks for continuing to make this group wonderful!

Hello all! We here at Begin Again are ecstatic to announce our first annual Secret Santa event! Some of you may be familiar with the concept of Secret Santa, but if you're not, don't worry! We're more than willing to explain.

For this event, we will NOT be exchanging physical things, so if you're worried about giving out your address, fret not! Instead, we're going to be exchanging virtual gifts. These gifts can be anything you like -- some examples may include graphics, gif packs, drabbles, and playlists! The gift is up to the giver to decide. Signups will start today, and continue through Tuesday, December 1. On December 1, when signups close, we'll randomly match participants together and send out messages from the main letting you know who you'll be making your gift for! You should aim to have your gifts posted before December 31, and you're free to make as many gifts as you like! Any person who signs up and does NOT receive a gift before the 31 will get something from the admins posted on the inspo blog, so everyone is guaranteed to get something!

To sign up for this event, please send us a message on the main with your name and any preferences you may have. (For example, if you play more than one character and would like a gift for a specific one, let us know! If you would prefer a certain type of gift you can also include it, though we can't guarantee you'll get exactly what you ask for!)

When you post your gifts, be sure to use the tag #beginagaingiftexchange and @ the receiver!  You can also inbox them a link to ensure they see it!

Happy New Year to all! To ring in 2021, we have a few announcements.

First and foremost, activity checks will resume on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30. Please make sure you post something that counts for activity on your character before then or they will be put on check! If you have questions about what posts count for activity, please refer to our rules or shoot us a message. Additionally, if you are unable to post and need a hiatus, please let us know before Wednesday!

Secondly, we are excited to announce that starting in 2021, we will be upping the character limit to SEVEN. This means that players will now be allowed to play up to seven muses. As always, please be sure to approach the main for approval before applying for additional characters after your THIRD.

If you have any questions regarding these announcements, please don't hesitate to ask! Happy New Year, and thank you for an amazing year of writing and for making this group what it is! We love you guys!
