@Yoshirkrab @SirenCymbaline as soon as y'all get your characters in on the SB main page, we''ll be good to start. No rush! Since it's just the three of us, we can take our time :P

Hey everybody! This looks really cool!

I just wanted to drop by and check in on things. This storybook hasn't had any action in quite a while, but I don't want to archive it prematurely if most of your writers are still interested. So in general, what're people's thoughts? Y'all wanting to continue, or thinking it may be better to just revamp?

If I haven't heard back from anyone in the next couple of days saying they think they're still interested or might be interested in a reboot, I'll archive the story. I can always bring it out of the archives if that's something the majority are interested in, but I thought I'd give y'all a heads up. Happy writing!

This is safe to archive, sadly.
