Chinese Entertainment

I'm sorry to do this, but I need to take a bit of a break for a while. I'm not in a good place right now mentally, and I'm hitting a limit where running this comm has started to feel more like work than fun.

First of all, I will keep doing the weekly chats - those are the least stressful for me, and as long as I'm still watching dramas I'll have something to contribute to them. I'll also keep up with the maintenance, i.e. tracking the comm, creating tags, commenting, etc.

But for now, I'll put a break on running the Wishlist Wednesday and the Quick Rec Wednesday posts. Participation on those has been very low in general, and remember, you're always welcome to post requests or recs directly to the comm!

I might keep up posting the Did You Make a Thing? entries, let's see how I'll feel towards the end of the month. But again, you're always welcome to post your fanworks directly to the comm!

As for the Topic Tuesdays, I don't know yet. They might still happen sometimes, but not necessarily on the regular, second Tuesday of the month. I love them, but they're also the most stressful entries for me. Coming up with topics is hard, even with help from you. Especially so, when I have no experience with or no opinion on a certain topic, and struggle to play host to those discussions. But don't let that deter you. Whenever you want to talk about something, please simply make a separate discussion entry to this comm.

I adore our picspam collections, but they're also the most work intensive entries, so I won't make any promises.

I also won't make any promises or predictions about the time frame of these changes. Who knows? Maybe I'll be perfectly fine again next month and return to the regular schedule. But maybe it will take me a year instead. What I do know is that I'm not done with c-ent in general, there are still plenty of dramas to watch and books to read, and I'm looking forward to doing so!

I'm a bit sad about all of it, but I'd rather take a step back now and still enjoy c-ent, than turn the whole thing sour for me.

And if anyone had interest in hosting one of those formats for now, I'd be fine with that, too. PM me, if you like, or if you feel unsure about it.
