Hi, my dearest friends. Devinstone is finally back from our very much-needed hiatus, and it feels so great to be back. I hope everyone is doing well --- we’ve missed y’all so much. 

So with Sofie stepping down, I'll be joining the admin team alongside Mel. I am so incredibly happy and excited and looking forward to this position --- I love this group with my whole heart and can't wait to help out ♥️ 

That being said, the first order of business --- if you’re still around and wish to stay with the group, you have till Monday, June 8th to like this post --- and if you have multiple characters, please let us know if you’re still keeping all characters or dropping any. Failure to do so will result in your character(s) being removed from the group. Thank you! 

Hello friendos! This has been a long time coming, honestly, but today really sealed the deal for me. I’ve been dealing with a lot in real life, both personal and through work, and have been more stressed than I have been in a long time. On my days off, I’ve turned to Devinstone for an escape from reality but have found it hard getting into the headspace of my characters when I’ve been so focused on being an admin instead. So that being said, for a week or two, or maybe longer, I will be stepping down as admin, or taking a hiatus of some sort to focus on my own mental health and give myself time to focus on my characters. In the meantime, Mel will be taking care of the main as she has done since 2017 alongside with me and we’ll be taking on Kate to help out as well. Devinstone is my baby, it has been for three years, but I trust Mel and Kate to keep it safe while I focus on myself. I’ll be doing tonight’s acceptances in a few hours and then I’ll be logging off. Thank you.

With Devinstone having been open for almost an entire month, we figured it was time for our very first writing task! At this point, most, if not all, characters have interacted with each other one way or another but we thought it’d be fun to take your characters out of their comfort zone and throw them something unexpected to deal with. 

So for this writing task, your characters will be split into pairs and assigned a situation that you’ll have to write out. All pairs are randomly selected, as is the situation assigned to each pair, to make this as fair to everyone as possible. Keep reading under the cut for more information on your pairs and situations to write out.

Hello friends! After talking to a few people about this I decided to make this post. So, I’m about to head into a crazy work period where I’ll be working eleven days straight and those of you who know me, know I work crazy hours that have me home well after midnight most evenings. That being said, through this work period, I’ve decided to put the main on a bit of a break. During these eleven days, I won’t be actively promoting the main, nor will I be holding acceptances. This is because I know I’ll be extremely stressed and having the pressure of having to go online the main every night is not going to do me any good. While the main is on this little bit of a break, I’ll be focusing on my characters and getting to write them as they have been put second to the main since we opened.

That being said, we’ll still check the main and answer questions people might have, but again, we won’t be holding acceptances or activity promoting while the main is on a break. During this time, we do EXPECT people to uphold their activity! We will be holding activity checks and removing those who aren’t active. This is not us giving up on the roleplay in any way, shape or form and we want active members still. Sometimes you just need to prioritize real life a bit, you know?

Once the main’s back from its break, we might be changing the theme and the graphics. We’ll be back to actively promoting and accepting again in eleven days. Again, I can’t stress this enough, we are NOT closing the group! We’re merely taking a bit of a break from promoting and accepting to focus on real life and our characters for that bit of stress relief that we need. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to im me or Mel either through this account, through our characters or through the ooc blog. Please like this post once you’ve read it.

Here’s a fun little thing for you all to be working on while we fix our main writing task to include our new players!

We want your characters to be writing letters. Just one each. And it can be to absolutely anyone, whether it be someone in their past, someone in their present or perhaps someone in their future. It could even be to themselves. But we want you to dig deep -- if your character could unload themselves and their thoughts into one single letter, one that will never be sent but one they need to write anyway, what would it say, and to whom would it be addressed?
