A few small announcements
Hello Havenites!
There are a few minor announcements that need to be made, so here goes.
Firstly, Secret Santa is going to be run again this year, and sign ups to take part have now opened. They can be found on this page and will remain open until 1st December. After that, I will go through and randomize the names, and go through to let you know who you will be preparing a present for. So come and take part, it's all in good fun!
Secondly, my work has finally taken on additional staff members, so my long period of extraordinarily slow NPC tagging has come to a close! I've done all the outstanding NPC tags that were owed. Anyone who receives one is free to ignore it, continue the thread, or PM the moderator for any conclusions that might be required. If any have slipped through the cracks and you are still waiting on a thread you wish to continue, please get in contact. Once again, thank you for your patience the last couple of months, thank goodness it's finally over!
Thirdly, the app team have unanimously decided on a minor change to the application guidelines. From the next round onwards, samples cannot be "where am I" intro posts. The reason for this is that we often find it hard to gauge characterization from those, as most people when immediately in a new surrounding are confused or frightened. The guidelines will otherwise remain the same.
Finally, I have received an email from a woman who is finishing a course in psychology at Södertörns Högskola in Stockholm, Sweden. For her bachelor thesis she has chosen to write about online friendships, specifically those that are created through journal based roleplaying. She requires volunteers to help her by answering some questions - I've already taken part, and it's not too lengthy or personal, so please help out if you can. The interviews take part over AIM or gchat, so you must have access to one of these for the study. If you want to take part, please email erica01.eriksson@student.sh.se as soon as possible, as these interviews must be conducted soon.
If you have any questions or comments about anything above, please feel free to leave them here. Thank you!
