I need to let y'all know that I've got some personal stuff occurring right now and coming up that, over the next couple or three months, is going to require a great deal of my time and small stores of energy, enough that I won't be able to be a reliable moderator of KosAbility. I'll always want to read the diaries, but I have to step away from the moderator role and keep things that don't follow schedules together in real life, so I hope this gives y'all as much lead time as possible.
Several of you will be seeing permission changes in your inbox, which will also show up in the KosAbility inbox. Hopefully that will include enough people for y'all to be able to decide what/how you want next. I'd like to ask you to contact each other and work out some division of responsibilities that reflect your skills, interests, and time/health constraints. I've learned from past experience that all of those are likely to be moving targets, and will probably need adjustments over time, and more people involved rather than less may help balance things out.
So here are some things that y'all have taught me, for whatever it might be worth. Try to expect the best, and be patient. Folks come to us for their own reasons, and until there is a reason to worry, try not to. Folks who aren't on the best footing with their health may need some patience and accommodation
I've tried not to edit out the voices of authors in favor of some kind of stringent literary standard. I truly believe the stories are more important than grammar and other small details. Supervision has not ever been my role, here- my role here has been support and guidance and coordination.
I've tried to let our diarists write what they need to write, and not fret or create unnecessary tension for anyone. Whether or not I've been successful with that is up to y'all to decide. Generally, all that can be well will be well.
Very much looking forward to reading in the future,
