Holt Status Survey - Active, Inactive, Closed, etc. - August 2012

At this point, I want to streamline this task -- so I will be keeping up the FULL listing at one location only. At present, that location is the ElfQuestFanArt site (www.elfquestfanart.com).

Anybody visiting this thread who would like to view this list in its entirety (to see all of the old groups listed, and their status), should go here:

Oh, you listed Three Moons Holt under active? Thank you for that, but I think you could say we're on Hiatus at the time being. There's been no official announcement saying we're on Hiatus, but all active players have made personal announcements that they will be absent due to real life.

Thanks, Silberschweif!

Leanan -- okay, thanks! I'll put the group under "On Hiatus". Just let me know when its status changes again in the future.

Geocities in general no longer exists.

Yes. I think that I moved every group that had a Geocities URL to the "WEBSITE GONE/BROKEN" category. There might be a few I missed, but that was my intention. It may not mean that the group no longer exists, but if they have moved to a new website, I haven't yet discovered it.

Fantastic list!

Westering Holt is actually re-opening. An email has been sent to all of our members, but we'd love to welcome newcomers, too. In fact, I think we'll need to beg for newcomers.

Thank you for putting the time into investigating the holts and posting a comprehensive, concise report!

That's great, Anna! I hope you'll create a new section for Westering Holt here, that will help even more players to find you!

ElfQuestFanArt.com also has a Holts section, where you might want to create a presence.

I've started a group for Westering here, but I'm still exploring the new site! I'm very excited to get Westering going again.

Hi!

Thank you so much for your hard work, putting this list together! Here's a quick update on the Holts I mod or that I'm just a member of:

Mirrors' Lake Holt: Just got a few more posts in the RPG. New members always welcome!

Starpool Holt: Damn, I miss this place! No idea about when it will be active again, hopefully one day...

Survivors of a Lost Holt: Has more elves than just Wolfriders. Currently we have fox-bloods, bird-bloods (type of bird yet unspecified), elk-bloods, bear-bloods and cheetah-bloods running around as well, plus plainsrunners, who're purebloods.

The Self-Elf Holt: I've posted and asked if anyone else still is interested in this. No idea what the answer will be.

Three Moons Holt: Just getting back from hiatus! New members, of course, welcome!

I want to officially put Danen on Hiatus. The site will be going into Wrapstuff so work can be done on it. People of late have not been posting, not even the people that have been with me since the beginning in 2003. I hope all of the people on the site will come back and play when I open her up again. It will be starting fresh, in the future about One Year (storyline time that is). In the Rainforest especially there will be major changes and I hope my main players will join me in this...
I will also be making it so people can sign up as reader members or players, there will be monthly challenges and themes and a yearly calender. I have put a lot of time and tears into this site. I love it almost as much as Elfquest and only want to make it better. Thank you. With Love
~Highone/Elftanner

Another quick update, in case this list is still active.

Mirrors' Lake Holt: ACTIVE

Starpool Holt: ON HIATUS (the website is slowly but surely updating and the forum is back up.)

Survivors of a Lost Holt: ACTIVE

The Self-Elf Holt: CLOSED

Three Moons Holt: ACTIVE

I'm not part of any holts at present, but I seem to be having trouble finding something I can join.

Looking for Original Character_OK Wolfriders, if possible.

Animal Mimicry (What Teir does) is my preferred magic type.

I've kinda been hopping in and out of the list, but it's a bit confusing to navigate.

Hi! I sent you a message about possible Holts you maybe would like to be part of; hope it was helpful and not annoying

My Holt children of the banished is still open though i haven't written for a while it is more fan writing but you write for your own character and when i write a story you choose what the character says and does so you can check it out if you want, we are go backs not wolf riders but we do have a member with tiers powers.
