So, from this day on Paragons will be closing indefinitely.
First, to anyone I've been rude to in the past or people that wasn't very happy because of any kind of arguments we've had or issues you've faced being in the club, I want to apologise. I promise I'll try to be better in the future and hopefully you forgive me. And for those of you who have stuck with me from the beginning, I want to say thank you, I cannot express how much this club means to me and all the people in it, and it really hurts to say that this is where it all ends for this club.
It's been a really fun time being the club, I met a lot of good friends and was able to learn a lot from them. I still had a lot in store for you all but unfortunately, my time has been cut short and I have no more free time to manage this club anymore.
ABOUT CARD EDITIONS
For recurring editions left in this club, artificers are still free to continue them if desired (NIJISANJI ID will still be ongoing till the end dw). Other than that, there will not be any new editions anymore. I decided not to do a closing editions because we never really had a grand opening either and well, just it's just more work haha.
I know I'm months behind on my deliveries for several editions (both in and outside of Paragons), fear not I am still working on them and will deliver them soon (staff who are willing to help me with the deliveries please DM me on discord cause there's a lot of work to be done which I'm unable to do myself).
ABOUT ME
I wasn't planning on quitting card making + collecting as a whole, but how with my current situation, it seems like that is highly unlikely. I've tried to find time and energy to put in card making but day by day both my mental and physical health has kept declining and I'm not planning to push myself any further. I'm sure most of you can relate to this, there's been a lot going on irl and it's just been really tiring. I've also gotten back to drawing and writing after years of fighting against my depression. It's something I've always been passionate about and something I want to focus more atm.
As for MAL, I won't be online here a lot since I won't have free access to my laptop anymore, but I will be online on Discord more often from now on.
FOR STAFF
And at last for my lovely staff mates, I really am so happy for all your support for this club and for myself, personally. I could not have done with without any of you. I know I promised to make new staff badges, but as I said in the text above, I'm just really not able to. I know this shouldn't be an excuse, but I really am sorry for making false promises.
...ALSO DISCORD
The club's not totally dead yet, though. Feel free to join the Discord where we can all just chat casually with each other!
END SCENE
Alas, that's the end of the announcement. Hope I didn't say anything weird. Again, I truly apologise if I've disappointed a lot of people by making this decision but it had to be done for my own sanity. And sorry for the overly melodramatic message haha. Ask away any doubts and I'll try to answer them below. Thanks for reading till the end and have a great day, love you guys x |
