Good afternoon and happy middle of the week, everyone! We’re super excited to see that we hit our goal number of applications over night! We honestly didn’t expect to get there so soon but are so thrilled with the response to the group and all of the applications we’ve received. Everyone’s characters have been so creative and we love seeing everyone’s takes on the songs/skeletons and are eager to get the ball rolling and see people plotting and interacting on the dash.

Happy Monday, everyone! The week is off to a great start with Tumblr finally giving us access to Java Script in our theme, so we’ve added a couple more pages to the main. Check out our character directory as well as our locations around town!

Good morning, happy Friday, and happy opening day everyone! We’re so excited to kick things off tonight and start writing with you all. We just wanted to cover a few bases before we hold acceptances tonight and dive into the roleplay!

First and foremost — acceptance means opening, so as soon as you see that you’ve been accepted and you send in your account, you are more than welcome to start plotting and posting! We’ll send over a discord link for you to join once your account is sent in, but joining the discord is not mandatory. 

All of that said — don’t feel pressure to start posting right away! We know how overwhelming joining a new group can be on opening night, and we will likely be easing into things ourselves, so everyone is encouraged to start participating at their own pace!

When posting intros, please make sure you tag @westerlyintros in addition to tagging wri:intro, so we can make sure to reblog them to the intros blog and everyone see them.

You can start sending in wanted connections TOMORROW (Saturday, Oct. 15th) at 7 PM EST. This will just give us time to make sure everything on the main is up to date post acceptance before we open another can of worms.

And most importantly, have fun! Make sure you’re plotting and getting to know everyone, as the main purpose of this group is to make connections and explore the wonderful characters we’ve all created.

EVENT 001 — WESTERLY’S ANNUAL HARVEST FESTIVAL!

Autumn in Rhode Island is in full swing, with foliage covering nearly every tree in site and pumpkins adorning neighbors’ doorsteps — so what better way to celebrate than by swinging by Westerly’s annual Harvest Festival? Every year in October, Market Street in Downtown Westerly is blocked off, allowing dozens of local vendors and organizations to set up shop. Locals set up tents selling crafts, candles, homemade pottery, and an assortment of local goods for patrons to choose from.

At the end of the street on Cypress Park’s vast grounds, the festival extends into a pumpkin patch and corn maze, with a bar and food stand sponsored by the country club. The stand features fall favorites such as apple cider, apple dumplings, warm soup, burgers and hot dogs, and pumpkin spice everything, with fall inspired cocktails and local beer on tap at the bar. Other activities at the festival include a parade, apple bobbing, pumpkin carving, and a haunted hay ride once the sun sets. The festival lasts all week and is the perfect family-friendly fall activity for any age!

FULL NAVIGATION. Acceptances are held every SUNDAY & THURSDAY.

ADMIN HOURS:

Admin Kate — Weeknights from 7pm-10pm
