Thanks, Ceej

I couldnt help but notice it's been a while since the last FARC race went up. That being said; Ceej, I don't know what your plans are, but I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to create all this content for us the last few years.

It's always been really fun to see the creativity and the stories being told through this medium, and to get the community included as well. Just the fact that you've been running it for this many years at this level has really impressed me; I wish I had that kind of ability and dedication.

Whatever else may happen in the future, it's been a lot of fun watching and being involved with ARLA and FARC. If or when there's more to come, I'll look forward to it. Thanks again.

Definitely one of the series that I've had the most fun with my characters in. Thank you for everything, Ceej.

If this is the end for FARC, I'm gonna miss it.

Thanks guys. I appreciate that you've enjoyed the series and stuck by my side for so long.

I do not intend to end FARC anytime soon; I feel like it's grown too big and I've been running it for too long to simply push it aside. However, my motivation to work on it has taken an utter nosedive this year (partially thanks to getting involved with the Touhou community and putting more focus on making those little cartoons with them). I honestly feel like, and this is something that I've expressed privately with others on occasion, I've been phoning it in the last few years, despite telling myself at the beginning of every season "This is going to be awesome!". Instead, what has happened is that in the first couple of months, starting around 2013, I started thinking "Damn it! This is not what I wanted to do after all!", and having to deal with what I established at the start of the year has worn me down (this is partially the reason for all of the mod changes).

As far as this year goes, I'm not sure if I'm going to finish the season. Regardless, I'm going to end FARC's involvement with the TM universe and start it over as a series of written shorts entitled "Skidmarks" (which I've already started as an attempt at National Novel Writing Month. Those on the GOMA TeamSpeak can see it in a link to a Google Doc. My word count and is very lacking right now, but I intend to keep writing whether I reach the NaNoWriMo goal or not). The offline league will almost certainly continue to play a role, and I will take on other people's characters just like I always have (some of them are already written into the story I have in progress).

I'll continue to watch and stay involved in the TM universe side of things, too. If I am able to dig up that motivation again (and if work, Skidmarks, and the movie I'm making with my Touhou group aren't keeping me too busy), I'd certainly like to operate a different league that won't require as much management.

In short, I intend to turn FARC into a different project, but I'm sticking around. Thank you all for your continued support.
