Dear #WordWeavers players! We've had so much fun together, but the time has come for me to "retire". The most important thing is the game will continue! @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange will keep it up 🧡 It's been almost 4 years of WordWeavers, plus WritingWonders before that. Those games have given me the most important thing in the new, unfamiliar place that was Mastodon: a community 🥰 So many interesting conversations, wonderful people and awesome books (some of them are still waiting to be read). 1/2

I want to thank my co-host @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange for the warm, creative and peaceful cooperation we've had over the years. And of course, I want to thank all of you, the #WordWeavers players for your wit, humor, wisdom and sincerity, for sharing your stories and your characters, for contributing community questions. Without all of you, there would be no WordWeavers. I'm happy that I got to do it and that I met all of you 🧡 Keep writing those amazing stories!

@AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop Thank you for all the work you put into the WordWeavers and into all those questions. It has been an amazing game to play - has it really been four years already? I'm glad the game will continue, and I do wish you all the best for your writing and much happiness. I hope you'll keep playing, at least. @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange

@AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange Thank you so much for your efforts with these prompts. Coming up with my own answers, and reading others' responses, has really helped my writing over the last few years. And, of course, it's been a lot of fun! 😀

@AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange You've been around and co-managing this game before I joined which already seems a long time. I completely understand that you want to move on. Thank you for all the hard work! This game always was so very helpful. I'm glad that @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange will continue. Thank you, both!

@AlinaLeonova@wandering.shop @BranwenOShea@writing.exchange Thank you for all your hard work. I know how completely running an online community can fill your time. I retired from doing it elsewhere last year and can't believe how much it used to demand of me. So I have a good idea of what you've been doing and why it's time for you to let go of the reins. I'm very glad this lovely community that you started here is going to continue, and I wish you all the best in the future. Thank you.
