To the creators, friends and followers of Project OBSIDIAN

Hello, friends! This is the final update on Project OBSIDIAN which I’ll take the liberty of sharing with you on behalf of its former leaders. As you’ve probably noticed, PO hasn’t been active in a very long time. If there’s anyone still wondering what had happened, I am sorry to say that in 2020 the project was cancelled in its entirety — this is due to management and leadership issues, as well as disagreements that sadly made it impossible for the project to move forward. Therefore, PO will not be producing any more content.

That said, we had created some wonderful things behind the scenes. Project OBSIDIAN’s creative team had poured all their hearts and talent into their work — but most of this huge collaborative effort never saw the light of day. For this reason, over the next few weeks we will be turning this blog into an open repository of art and writing done for Project OBSIDIAN. Be sure to check it out, it’s really some beautiful stuff. (If anyone out there would like their work or username omitted, let us know. We don’t care about our ancient TOA and will remove it no problem.)

This is also a thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you to everyone who cheered us on, liked, shared, participated in our events and hung out with us. PO would never have achieved the scope it had if it weren’t for your support.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who ever devoted their time to the project — our amazing, irreplaceable Artists, Writers and Leaders. You are the ones who did the work — I think I speak for everyone on the former board when I say we are so grateful and so proud of it. No matter what, we see you and appreciate you. On the project’s behalf, I wish you the best of luck with all your present and future endavours. You rock.

It’s been a ride. Thank you, take care and goodbye,

💛 A.

     Hi hi, all! Here comes yet another Sunday, and with it, yet another bi-weekly progress report!

Here are the achievements for this week!

  • Project OBSIDIAN has been REVAMPED!
  • New organization! New talents! New, reorganized teams!
  • New and clearer deadlines, schedules and report charts!
  • New, bigger archives! 
  • Clear role definitions! Optimized guidelines!
  • Applications have been REOPENED! 
  • Accepted applicants are being sorted!
  • Server channels are being reorganized!
  • The creative process is BACK ON TRACK! 

     The way ahead can’t be any brighter! Here’s to a new beginning for Project OBSIDIAN!

     Hello, all! Apologies for the lack of activity in the past days: there have been a few matters to be taken care of! But here’s the tea!

Project OBSIDIAN’s organization is being REVAMPED!

     In the past few weeks, the Director Board has been collecting and discussing a list of organization issues, which mostly rotated around the inactivity of some Departments and hitches in the workflow.      Of course, Project OBSIDIAN is a project run by fans, for fans, meaning that, while taking a semi-professional approach, every member is no more than a volunteer, and as such, a few bumps on the road are to be expected. It’s a learning experience for all of us!  

     With this premise, Project OBSIDIAN is thus reopening applications for 20 CREATOR POSITIONS! Like with the past applications, they will automatically be closed once the limit is reached, so that they can easily be sorted through and give you the best position in regards to your skills! Depending on the outcome, they may be reopened once more!  

    Find the form here: [ x ]

     And thank you so much for your kind asks and DMs! It has been repeated ad nauseam, but it’s true: Project OBSIDIAN would not be here without your passion, support and cooperation, and even though there may be a bit of turbulence ahead — it’s a moment of transition, and transitions are never easy! — here’s to a better, more organized Project OBSIDIAN to deliver the story our beloved Varian deserves! Together!  

     Onward we ride~!

     Applications have been collected, looked into, and the approved members are being sorted! 

     So many talented people have applied, and Project OBSIDIAN will be blessed with a few sets of new amazing members very soon!      Which leads to the following... 

     30 more positions are OPEN!

     Less than 24 hours have been enough to collect all of the 20 open slots from last announcement, so 10 more slots have been added before the application form automatically closes! 

     Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! Project OBSIDIAN cannot wait to welcome you! 

    Another notice will be shared as soon as the limit is reached. Onward we ride!

     The 20 applications limit is reached!!

     WOW, that was fast! Seeing how much passion and excitement there’s from you all is seriously mindblowing, thank you so much! ❤      But don’t worry! This is just the beginning! From now on, your applications will be reviewed, and all the accepted applicants will be sorted into their respectful positions.      It might take some time, so please be patient!

Another notice will be shared as soon as the next 20 positions will be opened! Stay tuned~!
