When I first got into role playing I was most attracted to the concept of collaborative creative writing, where multiple writers work together to weave an interesting story through taking and playing roles of various characters. It was an amazing concept. But once I started RP'ing I noticed for years that a lot of players are just that, players, not writers. Nothing gets on my nerve like when I or someone else starts an ambitious original RP with new and inspiring premise, and interesting characters and initial plots, then some player comes in and ruins it by mediocre writing and lack of creativity or originality. God some awesome well written RPs are ruined by people with so uninspiring posts they seem more like chat logs than actual collaborative contribution. I believe that role plays should be held with high respect and regard as a form of literary medium, rather than a generic tool to be entertained with. To say it bluntly, some people write like it was some low budget B-Movie. Which really kills the vibe and momentum of an enthusiastic group of writers. I am just mad and ranting because I had it with lame let downs whenever a cool RP dies because of this. #Rant
