A message from the Crystal Chronicle management team:
Hello everyone,
There's an announcement we wish to make on behalf of The Crystal Chronicle, an IC news publication for Eorzea - we will be shuttering our doors with Edition 45 (Dec 3rd). This is strictly an out of character announcement as we have plans formulating for a dramatic in character reason for this, so our publication does not reflect this decision as of yet. This decision was not an easy one, and we're happy to explain our reasoning, but as this is a general announcement, we'll summarize to say that our system was an unsustainable workload on the management team. This is a much deliberated-on decision and we delayed having the conversation for as long as we could. As much as we have loved doing this, it is time for us to move on.
We are aware of the void this will leave, and we have taken steps to help promote and bolster a new publication, Garnet Gazette, with much the same goal and direction that TCC has maintained for almost a year. Right now, it's a small crew who is hoping to get help in starting this publication, and we are giving tips to help the new publication build to be even better than we were. If you're interested in helping them, please let us know and we can direct you to the right individuals. Currently, this team is made up of staff from TCC who are preparing to make the move after our story takes place over the next several weeks, but - as we always were - they are open to fresh ideas and fresh talent.
Also an important bit, we have no intention of shutting down http://news.thecrystalchronicle.com/ - it will be maintained for the foreseeable future as an archive of the work that the staff did.
46 weeks of publishing (we only missed one week, and it was planned), and I (Deidra) wouldn't trade it for anything. I look forward to what comes next, and I hope you'll join me in supporting the projects that come from here on.
