🦐 PERSONAL UPDATE
I wanted to place this first in hopes that everyone could see this, but I wanted to address my inactivity (as you may have noticed it)! 

I am currently adjusting to the rigor of my classes and have found myself with little to no free time, so replies for threads that I run will, for the time being, be potentially very late. I really do love leading Shrimpshifters and will continue to do so unless I feel as though someone with more time would be better suited; we will see how the rest of the semester goes and I will make adjustments as needed. Since we have just done moderator applications (which I will review sometime this week), I will hopefully have people on the different tasks throughout the World so that these aspects are not so behind! Thank you for your patience thus far, and I apologize that I haven't made this announcement until now.

If you have any questions or concerns about this specifically, feel free to DM me (and I will get to you as soon as possible!)
