mobile navigation. CHARMANTHQ follows the residents of Charmant Gardens & Apartments, a mid-rise apartment complex in the fictional English town of Hauthorne. The roleplay offers various subplots for those who enjoy the structure, as well as “blank slate” apartments. POC-heavy & friendly towards all identities.
i’m sure we’ve all noticed how lifeless the dash has become. i figured that rather than pushing even though it’s dead, or leaving it to wither on its own, i should properly close this roleplay. thank you for the time you’ve given this roleplay.
this is my first time actually being an admin of a roleplay. i didn’t know the first thing about being an admin. but nonetheless i toiled away; i spent plenty of hours writing whole stories in the subplots and even in the locations pages. i was driven by a creativity and my authentic convictions, as a southeast asian mun who has always felt alienated in the rpc. i don’t regret the time i spent on this rp. although i’m really sad to see it die, i know i’ve been fortunate enough to have met some of the kindest muns i’ve ever come across.
thank you for letting me experience a nice first time as an admin. but it’s time to let this rp go. i know this is hardly a unique experience; many roleplays either die out very easily or fail to take off at all these days. it’s understandable: the site continually adds updates that screw roleplayers over, plus people are busy, especially in the pandemic. i understand, i truly do. i just wanted to make it clear that i’m very thankful for everything.
i can’t believe it’s been, like, a week since i created and started promoting for charmanthq. but it hasn’t been a week yet since we first started interactions, so this is a really good time to send in an app. the rp’s fresh, it’s new.
activity here usually booms around 11 pm gmt, so you can imagine that the dash is a little slow for me during these hours. please keep me company with some apps before i take care of replies and plotting ! maybe more people from gmt and nearby timezones could join too. whichever the case, this rp welcomes diverse muses with open arms, especially poc.
i’m taking care of admin stuff while trying to do replies and plot with people. it’s quite a busy day for me as the admin, but seeing new apps would make me so happy. honestly, this group is such an incredibly welcoming and friendly bunch ! don’t miss out on it, especially because it’s only been hours since ic interactions opened. our first event is happening as we speak, too.
i wanted to say something before we open: please don’t be afraid to post. i know this is just common sense, but in so many roleplays i’ve been in the past few years, people seem to be afraid to simply... post. i know how it feels like to see a bare or empty dash, especially when the roleplay is new.
in those circumstances, posting seems like a weirdly massive responsibility. but the dash won’t stop being bare or empty if no one actually posts, besides perhaps a handful of people. this is why roleplays die so easily these days. believe me, i understand the anxiety, but i just wanted to remind the members we’re all here and excited to write.
here’s the event post, in case you need to refer to it. happy roleplaying !
hello ! at 2 pm, thursday, 4 march ( pst ), we will officially open for ic interactions. come check us out, maybe ? there are so many great subplots that need to be filled. for example, the virani family only needs one more sibling to have a full house. apartment f3 ( a plot featuring two residents who started dating and their tired roommates ) needs the other half of the couple and their other friends. pop on over ! the app is simple and easy to fill.
i think i’m more or less signing off for the night, but i love seeing all the beautiful characters on the dash ! leave me some stuff to attend to before ic interactions open, perhaps ? see you again soon.
so i’m just finalising my two muses’ intros and getting ready to send out invites to the ooc discord. come give us a look and perhaps join before ooc plotting commences an hour ( 2 pm pst ) !
i’ve decided that charmanthq will officially open for plotting on wednesday, march 3 ( pst ). although 5 pm won the popular vote, i have elected to make it 2 pm pst instead, just to be fair to myself ( and others living in gmt or nearby timezones ). don’t sweat if you miss the exact time ooc plotting opens; there will be 24 hours to do ooc plotting before ic interactions finally start.
that means, of course, that ic interactions will open at 2 pm on thursday, march 4 ( pst ). please like this post if you’ve read it !
