Those of you who are on my personal LJ f-list will understand why B7Y is in the midst of some changes. The purpose of this post is to just advise any B7Y watchers that liveplay postings to B7Y are going to be less frequent from now on.

After a meeting with our mods about the present status of the game in the light of a few player departures, a general consensus has been reached that from now on, a majority of play postings will likely only occur over weekends. During the week, players will post journals to keep updates on their characters. While there may be some play posted during the week if time permits the players, most likely things will be left until the weekends when we have more time on our hands. I can honestly say that me - as Draco - have a lot of things going on beyond any online issues and I only have so much time right now to be able to liveplay.

As you can all understand, real life can be a bitch and good portion of us are now facing things that are giving us less online time. Times are changing for many fandom members (in light of anticipation of the end of the book series), and its no different for our B7Y players. This is the biggest reason we have decided to basically keep B7Y activities to weekends. We're all still here and keen to play, but work and study schedules, even illness and personal hardships are on a lot of players plates right now that mean we have to unfortunately take this tactic. We feel that if we focus our attentions on the weekend, play will be of a higher quality, rather than anything rushed and insignificant we are forced to contribute during the week.

We thank you for your understanding and patience.

*Apparates into the livingroom of the Weasley apartment, brushing her skirt off*

Bill? Charlie? Anyone home?

*Goes to answer the door, glancing at the Persian rug and whimpering*

Red, with a fucking white gremlin! What was he thinking?! *Scowls, opening the door*

Mum!

beyond7years is going to be undergoing a bit of a revamp. Nothing drastic plot or character-wise is going to be changing. We just wanted watchers to be aware that there will be some character changes and departures, but nothing will dramtically effect our current universe.

*Dumps her bag on the floor and runs for their bedroom*

OLLIE! I'M HORNY!

*Bursts into the room with a grin* Fuck me, lover!

*Sirius is sitting in his library googling random stuff and entertaining himself*

I need to learn how to save sites I've already visited. Where was that one with all the mashed potato recipes?

*Waits for Draco to finish his coffee, watching him intently*

Um, Draco? Baby? Honey? Sexy? Beautiful?

OOOOOOOOOOOLIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

*Scratches at her stomach through her t-shirt with a frown* Where the HELL is my husband when I want to bitch?! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE IN MY FIRING LINE AT ALL TIMES!

*Looks up from the medical journal he is reading when Ali bursts into the room*

*Glances between the small tubs of icecream in her hands* You didn't get me the Vegemite flavoured one, did you?

*Studies the purple velvet jacket he bought in the hall mirror and snorts* This is so not my colour...

*Turns around* Oh my god! Look at my arse! It looks huge!

*Tries to struggle out of the jacket as quick as he can*

*Sirius sits in a chair he's pulled next to Oliver's bed, reaching out he smooths the hair off of Oliver's forehead and sighs. He takes Oliver's holding it between his hands and sits and watches Oliver sleep*

*Quietly to himself* We've been here before, Son. We made it through. We'll make it through this time and we'll end it.

*leans over and lays his head on Oliver's bed, not letting go of his hand*

*Theo rushes up outside of the Vibe Bar - leans against the wall and catches his breath*

Good, beat him here. Nothing like inviting a mate for a drink and then being late

*Bursts into Sirius' library, crying her eyes out, but trying to act calm like nothing is wrong*

Um, have you got a bit of a minute? *Sobs*

*Hangs her jacket messily on the coat stand and skips up the hallway humming You Can't Hurry Love*

OLLIE? WE'RE HOME! WHERE ARE YOU, BABE?

*Billl grinds out a cigarette in the ash try and quickly lights up another one. He grabs a bottle sitting beside his chair and tilts it up to his mouth, finding it empty he flings it across the room. He jumps up from the chair he's barely moved from for a couple of days, grabs his wand and appartes to BlackWood Manor*

Fuck this shit. It's fucking time I get some fucking answers here.

*He pushes the button in on the doorbell and holds it in, swearing to himself the whole time*

*Narcissa walks into the coffee shop near Diagon Alley. She goes to the counter and orders an extra large Mocha Latte. Taking her drink in her hand she turns to find a seat and relax for a bit...stopping at a table as she recognizes the person there.*

Dean? I've wondered where you ran off to. I stopped by your studio a few days ago, but it was all locked up tight. Are you alright? Do you mind if I sit with you?
