Last year, FeenCon was our first convention ever and it was awesome! It was July, it was broiling, and still y’all came and visited us at our booth. So, of course were we gonna do FeenCon 2020 - enter Corona. This year, FeenCon will evolve to FeenConline, an online convention on Discord with loads and loads of presentations, booths, and roleplay sessions. And we’ll be there too. Join in on the fun in our storylike Discord channel, meet fellow roleplayers, check out the Discord channels of other participants, and all in all have yourselves a very fun weekend with as many cool drinks as your fridge holds.

We’ll start Saturday, July 4, 2020, at 10 a.m. at http://feencon.de/ and we’re already so much looking forward to meeting you (again)!

And for those of you who can’t wait:

Vor einigen Wochen haben sich die LARPzeit und Storylike-Gründer Stefan Koch darüber unterhalten, wie storylike die Planung und Durchführung von Rollenspielenkampagnen aller Art und Größe unterstützen kann. Schwerpunkte waren dabei die Koordinierung von NSCs und Spielern, Entwicklung von NSC-Rollen und die Überbrückung von spielfreier Zeit. Ursprünglich abgedruckt in der Ausgabe #68, hat die LARPzeit-Redaktion das Interview nun auch in ihre Sonderausgabe zum Frühjahr 2020 aufgenommen, die ihr kostenlos hier runterladen könnt: https://zauberfeder-shop.de/LARPzeit-LARP-Fruehjahr-2020-Download

Wir freuen uns riesig und wünschen euch viel Spaß mit dieser LARPzeit! Und wenn ihr Ideen für eine Anwendung von oder Umstieg auf storylike habt und nicht sicher seid, wie, sprecht uns gerne an! Wir sind jederzeit für euch da! <3

We, the storylike team, wish you the happiest of holidays!

Use WhatsApp, Zoom, Jitsi, Skype, FaceTime or whatever floats your boat and share laughter and recipes that ensure you'll overeat as always. Set the table not only for yourself but also those who can't be with you this year. And breathe. All of us deserve that considering how eventful and disruptive 2020 has been so far.

But most of all: Stay healthy, stay strong, and keep going!

There, there: It's 2021, after all! We're wondering what it'll bring: Will it be as eventful as 2020? Will it, as experts suppose, be much influenced by the vaccine, as 2020 was influenced by the pandemic? Will it bring us more possibilities that have previously been unspoken of, like whole work sectors successfully shifting to home office and animals like leatherback turtles producing more offspring due to not being disturbed by humans?

All that we don't know. What we do know, however, is that you can keep writing, playing, and working with storylike. Create your own utopia for 2021 or rewrite 2020 to be wonderful. In that, we'll support you with many new features for storylike - soon, you'll be able to manage your wikis, share Stories, and invite friends more easily. Also, we're working on better usability. So, get your free Pandemic subscription with all premium features of storylike today. And please share any questions or requests you might have - we want to help any way we can.

For this 2021, we hope you stay healthy, happy, and don't come across more difficulties than you can handle. May the best of your past days be the worst of your future!

Liebe Storyliker*innen, 

erinnert ihr euch noch an letztes Jahr, als wir dachten, diese Pandemie wird sich in ein paar Monaten erledigt haben? Ganz so einfach war's wohl doch nicht. Ein bisschen werden uns die Einschränkungen und unser "new normal" wohl noch begleiten - und wir werden es in dieser Zeit auch weiterhin etwas langsamer angehen. Unser Entwicklerteam arbeitet beständig daran, storylike für euch zu verbessern; größere Neuerungen brauchen aber mehr Kapazitäten, als wir in Zeiten von Home Office, Schnupfennasen und spontaner Quarantäne bereitstellen können. Seid also versichert, wir haben eure Wünsche und Anregungen nicht vergessen und sobald es wieder möglich ist, starten wir auch wieder voll durch.

Jetzt, am Ende von 2021, wünschen wir euch besinnliche und wunderfrohe Weihnachten und natürlich einen guten und gesunden Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Feiert mit euren Liebsten und schreibt.

Dear storylikers,

Remember last year when we thought this pandemic will be over within a few months? Well, seems it's not that easy. Restrictions and our "new normal" will most probably stay with us for another while - and during that time, we, your dedicated storylike team, will have to keep laying lower than we'd want to. Our developers will continue to improve storylike for you; however, bigger innovations still need more capacities than we're able to provide in times of Home Office, runny noses and spontaneous quarantines. So rest assured that we haven't forgotten your requests and suggestions - we'll hit the ground running the moment we can.

Now, at the end of 2021, we wish you very Happy Holidays and a wonderful and healthy New Year. Celebrate with your loved ones and keep on writing.
