exams + other tests + end-of-semester wrap up assignments + tons of projects + procrastination + studying + reading + did i say procrastination? + life + blizzards = one very stressed fief. in other words, she will not be too active these next two weeks due to exams and she is sorry ._. bear with her?

[alicelogan]

exams next week = no fief on ISS for a while. sorry guys. i don't like it but it has to be done. i might be around on msn but that's it. no posting. no time. sorry. =/

gh;klhgklhg,dnhfgnhgflkgfkfj.

so. here i was, thinking i'd have plenty of time to catch up on posts and sev's app this weekend when today i discovered i have THREE huge papers PLUS a project board all due on monday. so i suppose you guys know what this means. i might be on msn while i'm writing the papers but there's going to be no posting. at all. it's just inconceivable.

so here's a list of the posts i owe:

for jules
• clairiette thread
• jake/jules thread
• start imogen/jules thread
• juliona and mariette owls

for alice
• alirius owl

for regulus
• andromeda/regulus thread
• barty/reg and tori/reg owls

for priscilla
• prikolas owl
• start prikolas thread

miscellany
• finish sev's app soon (just personality left to go!)


....sooooo. I SINCERELY, SINCERELY, SINCERELY apologize to anyone threading with me. this weekend is going to be extremely slow, except i might be able to do some owls or two. D: but other than that i'm totally screwed project-wise because i left the hugest one til the very last conceivable second and then the other two were just randomly sprung on me and i deff wasn't expecting them so... yeah. D: I WILL POST SOON. as soon as i'm done with those projects, though, i think i'll be fine. or at least there will be a slow time for me where i'll be able to post again. buut until then... please bear with me? D: i'm so sorry guys. but sadly school comes first. -_- *hugs all* thank you for being so understanding, i reaaally appreciate it.

so, i think my teachers are trying to kill me. like legit. they just keep assigning paper after paper after paper and i'm just so stressed right now that i have absolutely no muse. period. whatsoever. i'm really sorry guys. =/ maybe this weekend i'll be free, but this week is hell.

[teddy]

okay, so, i reaally don't have much time to post, but i'm going to be slowly but surely trying to get caught up. i just want to give everyone a warning that i might only be able to fit in one or two posts a week, though. *cringes* school ._. it has ate my life. aand also, i kinda don't want to start plunging into new threads until i'm done finalizing my final set of charries: jules, reg, sev, and ted. once alice and priscilla are both deleted and i have my into thread up (finally) with priscilla's and alice's write offs, thennnn i'll be back in business. i just really want to get all of this sorted and i think once it is then i'll feel better and my muse will return and etc etc. i'm so sorry guys. D: i've been a terrible rper lately. but i'll get better, i promise!

[jules]

okay, so, things are looking up! i think my stress load is going to lessen as the days go by, cause i think teachers just give lots of homework at the beginning of semester 2 just to freak everyone out. or hah at least i hope that's the case. at any rate, i should be able to start posting again. yay! sorry i've kept you guys waiting so long. buuut that being said, i don't want to totally jinx my sudden less hwk so yeah

buut shit gunna be late! ttyl guys!

[jules]

kaay. so, i'm going to try and have a posting spree this weekend. can't guarantee too much cause i'm feeling kinda down, but hopefully i'll be able to get something out. anyway, for my own sanity, i'm going to list what posts i owe.

for jules:
- skye/jules thread
- jules/jake thread
- kiki's party thread
- jules/mari owl thread √
- clairiette thread

for severus:

soooo update:

yes. fief is making lucius malfoy. most of you already know this and probably some of you are wondering why the heck i'm making him after i just deleted alice and made severus and ted, aaand i wanted to post here and explain myself. basically, when i deleted alice, i knew it was for good. there was no bringing her back, there was no resurgence of her charrie, nothing like that. i knew that i was letting her go forever, and i was okay with that. but the thing is, i wasn't exactly in the right emotional frame of mind when i made that call. i was stressed because of exams, i was freaking out because of my grades in math and chemistry, and frankly, i was just a mess about some personal things as well. now, that's not to say that none of my points were without merit, and that's also not to say that i didn't delete alice without good reason, because i did. i can handle five charries, i can, and i was wrong to think i couldn't, but the thing is, so much of her plottage has ended already. like kabs said, all her main plottage was over, and yeah, i had alex's wonderful frank to look forward to, but in the end, i'd planned so much for juliette and like i said, she's got more of me in her than alice ever did, and so when it came down to it, it had to be jules who stayed. but then, another factor was that i didn't want to have more than one girl charrie, at least for now. later, i plan to make another one, after regulus dies this year (*sobs* i have to have something to cheer me up, okay!?). but the point is that the site needs more boiz and i feel comfortable playing boys, in fact i really enjoy it because i like making fun of them hehe, but like... still. the point is, i was messed up when i decided to delete alice, but what's done is done and i'm not going back on my decision. it was nice to have only four charries for a little while, but then i discovered that lucius was opening, and honestly, severus and lucius are the two marauders canon that i have always dreamed of playing. so, it was an opportunity i couldn't pass up. i talked to seraph, because she's important to me and i would never want to hurt her or seem like a charrie hoarding bitch, so please, don't think i just did this arbitrarily. i was sure to get seraph's permission first. but yeah. anyways, guys, the problem really was that i didn't have as much to look forward to with alice's plottage as i did with jules's. i'd been planning juliette's character and plottage since july and she was really what helped me get through a rough time in my life. so she's special and i realized that i couldn't get rid of her. alice was a dead end and i knew it (no offense to alex, of course, because i love you so much and i would never want to hurt your feelings by saying that, so i hope you don't take that personally, because really, it's more a reflection on me than you). so i kept jules and now i'm taking on lucius. i'm back to five charries, all canon, all male except jules. which is the way i like it, honestly. and lucius is very special to me as well. i'm extremely excited to make him and i just hope everyone else will be accepting and understanding of why i chose to make him and not bring back alice instead. the last thing i want is for anyone on this site to think poorly of me. i don't want to create drama, i don't want to draw too much attention to myself that way, i don't want anything bad to come out of my decision to make lucius. because, guys, my intentions really are pure, i swear. and i know i can handle this. i'm excited for plotting, i'm excited to see who will take up the next alice, and i'm just sincerely, desperately hoping that people will plot with me along the way. i love all of you guys. *hugs* your opinions matter to me. which is why i really wanted to clarify this once and for all so there'd be no more questions. okay? thank you so much, guys.

to another news!

that being said, i also feel that i must explain my posting lately. as odd as this sounds, i've been in the mindset of a guy lately and so it's been kinda weird to try and post as jules. i mean, i know this will pass, it's just that i made severus and ted recently and have been rping them, along with regulus, quite a bit, and it's hard for me to switch gender-muse at the drop of a pin, hah. juuust not that talented, sorry guys. XD once i get out of this strange phase, expect a jules posting spree. <3

also, i went with the advice of the admins and i'm not making lucius until later next week, or into the weekend/early week after that. just pacing myself is all. i promise that i will still be active, and i promise that i will be active with all my charries, as much as is humanly possible for me right now. that means i'll be posting hopefully at least three times a week. i have my off days, and weekdays can sometimes be tight for me when it comes to time, especially when i have a lot of homework and no study hall, but it's going to be all right. just have to pace myself, budget my time, and everything will be cool. so, yeah, i promise you guys that i'm going to remain active, that i'm going to keep posting, and that i'm going to be responsible with my five charries and manage my time accordingly. thanks so much for reading this huge ramble, and thanks still for being patient with me. *hugs all*


<3 Fief [Juliette/Regulus/Severus/Ted/Lucius (hah, well, hopefully, anyway, but he's so cocky that he insisted i include him )]

[jules]

so. i'm reading war & peace for school with this friend of mine, and he's ALMSOT TWO HUNDRED PAGES AHEAD OF ME. that means that this weekend shall be solely dedicated to catching up/surpassing him. must. do. it. sorry guys. gotta retain my pride. ><

[teddy]

heey guys.

soo for the next couple of weeks i'm going to be kind of in and out. i'll post as much as i can, probably moreso on the weekends than weeks, because i'm trying to finish war & peace before april starts and as many of you know that book is 1200 pages long. i'm only about 400 pages in. sooo i really need to haul ass, haha. i know it sounds awful but really i will still be posting, it just won't be as frequent as i'd like. >< i'm really sorry guys. i'm trying my best!

[lucie]

ookay so, friend is coming over tonight. this means no posty. XD and no ISS-y. D: so i shall ttyl tomorrow, guys!

[severus]

oookie doke, so, i have a few announcements to make!

a) about 732 pages into war&peace, that means about 500 more pages to go. need to keep reading so i leave myself enough time to write the paper on it. which means less ISS time as i scramble to finish. ><
b) spring break is coming up for me tomorrow, but i'm going to be gone for about a week, as i'm taking a road trip down south to atlanta in order to check out emory university. also, my family is thinking about moving down to atlanta permanently. so we'll be checking out houses etc. really stressful and scary and yeah. i don't want to move yet. but i don't really have a say. =/
c) been dealing with some family crap lately and my own issues andddd school stress and yeah. have been really kinda miserable lately? i want to post but i just don't have the energy to do so. i'm going to keep trying, though. i'm so sorry. i know it's no excuse.
d) of course, my lovely teachers have decided to give me several hwk assignments over break, so i'll be doing those. a lot. plus reading war&peace. plus going to atlanta.

sooo what does this all amount to? not much of fief is going to be seen on ISS for the next week. i'm really sorry guys. D: it's just kinda... the way it is.

[jules]

kay, soooo i'm leaving for atlanta today! in about two hours, actually. so i just wanted to give everyone a heads-up. i'll probably be able to access the internet from where i am, buuut i have a ton of homework, and a ton of war&peace to read, and i'll be doing a lot of things during the vacation, so i'm not going to have time to be on the computer all the time. more than likely, i'll be one in the morning or late at night, buuut i'm not sure. at any rate, i'll be back a week from tomorrow!

[severus]

hey guys.

i just wanted to apologize for being so lame with posting lately. i'm fully aware that i'm holding back plottage and that i've been keeping people waiting for as many as two months on my posts. but i've been really unhappy and depressed lately and no i'm not going to sit here and whine and i didn't post this to draw attention to myself and be a drama queen but i just wanted to let everyone know what's going on and that my personal life is pretty much shit right now and it's becoming difficult for me to stop crying long enough to even see the screen let alone write anything. i'm really sorry guys. i feel like such a terrible inactive member. i'm trying to post it's just going to come slowly and i'm really sorry. i'm really sorry for holding people back from plots and i'm sorry for keeping people waiting. i'm going to try and work up the energy to keep posting to the best of my ability.
