#secretsummeradmin

Hey, everybody!

We just wanted to give you all a quick update about what’s happening with the roleplay!

It’s been decided that A Secret Summer is going to transition into a Closed Rp.

With becoming a closed rp, we will not have any activity stresses or character limits, etc. And if you wish to transition into multi muse blogs you’re free to do so, just keep us updated. We’d also expect to be kept updated if you’re going to be gone for months on end but honestly, the activity checks won’t be implemented because, as we all know, life moves on and changes and therefore so does the status of Baberton!

Please message into the main if you intend to stay with us and keep your roles.

Otherwise, things will pretty much continue as normal with regards to replies and stuff. The main won’t function as a place to promo the rp, it will simply be used to update members on events, follows/unfollows, plot changes etc, add characters where/if necessary, and admin updates.

Also a reminder that the plot of the roleplay will be moving towards the end of the -A story once and for all. After that, it will just be about Baberton and its residents recovering from the past years.

We hope you’ll want to continue exploring these characters and stay with us during this change but it’s also completely fine if you are done! Just please let us know :) <3

A temporary change to activity checks

I know a lot of people are on hiatus at the moment anyway but:

For the next three weeks, until the 10th May, we won’t be doing activity checks.

So, since the starter tag is currently all out of whack due to tumblr being useless, I’m not sure starting a whole new tag right now will work much better because I’ve noticed that tags in other roleplays are the same way. In case it doesn’t fix any time soon, it was suggested that we create a new blog where you can join to tag your starters.

The idea is that we would send you a link like we do for the ooc blog, so you’d be a member of the blog and would be able to see the ‘activity’ tab. All starters posted would be tagged with the blog name like this: @secretsummerstarters​​ just as if you were tagging somebody in a closed starter.

If you’re a member you’ll be able to see the list of starters in the activity section, so you don’t have to go scrolling through the whole dashboard to find starters and possibly miss them all.

If you’d rather not join a whole other blog, we can also just use the page to reblog all the new starters so you would just have to go follow and keep checking the blog for starters until the tag situation is hopefully fixed.

Please let us know which you’d prefer. Message us if you’d like a link for the blog so we can send you one, and if you’d rather we just reblog then please message that in too so that we know. We can do both easily enough for you guys :)

Our activity limit has undergone a very slight change.

You will now be given an activity warning when you hit four days instead of three, and then will be reopened on the fifth day instead of the fourth with no communication to the main.

If only wanting to participate with specific characters please tag them clearly so everybody is aware!

We ask that if you reblog and receive asks for the meme yourself, please do send some as well, so everyone is included!
