I question if a singular person can really be blamed for writing poorly and killing the roleplay.I think a lot of getting off the ground is trying to balance player expectations from the interest check with the actual play in the in character. It isn't likely 'subpar' writing killing it, but the expectation not meeting up with the play.I also see that a lot of 'unique concepts' aren't formed well enough before they start and that causes a lot of issues with them. Too often I see people jump in and rush their 'original concept' and that is what kills it. Ideas often need an extra amount of time to flesh out than people give them to really make them as compelling as the initial synaptic firing.

I didn't really mean to put the blame of an RP's death on the poor writing of a single player/writer. If my post sounded that way, I am sorry, but that is not what I meant. A player or two, in general enough players with bad writing to ruin an RP (Bad whether on the errors in their writing, or simply ruining the story flaw or consistency.)

I feel the need to also point out that I've read through a few of your posts, especially since you seem to span multiple realms (Free to High Casual). How are some of your posts in free classified as adhering to the quality you want others to abide by - else get blamed for killing the roleplay? I would like to point out that while there is nothing wrong with those posts, and that it is an extremely valid way to roleplay, but they do not align with my expectations after your rant. At a certain level, writing is subjective in terms of quality. If someone is not participating in a manner that the thread finds productive, there are ways to deal with it. I would challenge you to find me an example where writing quality of a singular individual on a thread is the reason it failed.

Again I didn't really mean to emphasize the point that ONE player can affect the life of an RP, I'm saying in general. Also I never belittled other forms of RP like free, say, so my participation in Free RP's doesn't contradict anything. I simply join those for entertainment purposes, and change of pace. Again I point I didn't rule out that RPs should be for entertainment, I just said they should be more literary and creative than a half developed hobby, that sounded elitist again, crap. 

@Pachamac

Yes it did sound like an elitist post, but I can assure it wasn't. I'm not saying RP as a form of entertainment is bad or negative, I actually roleplay in some free RP's as sort of escapism from the much serious and well written casual or high casual RPs. I don't consider myself an elitist in this matter, I don't even consider myself that good a writer anyway, don't take it as some cocky rant. It wasn't. (If it sounded that way, again, sorry, lack of proper emoticons whatever.)

@Prince You made some valid points there, and I did have a not so right an opinion. I guess I wasn't thinking much when I ranted it out. It is indeed foolish to consider RP a merely serious literary medium and not a form of entertainment. Should have made my rant better written to express my actual opinions. I just wanted to complain about careless uninspiring writings, which I dubbed mediocre. Again to prove I'm not really an elitist, I don't really see myself as that good a writer, I'm just aware of what is good and what is not, at least to some agreeable extent. Shortly put, you were somewhat right in proving my somewhat false opinions, but I still care most about better writing in RPs.

I, personally, question the validity of a point regarding an "ambitious original RP with new and inspiring premise," of someone whose current RP is named "Hogwarts: Legacy of Lord Voldemort".But that's just me. #Elitist

Ops. Though I'd prefer if the focus of the discussion was more on the subject than actually finding ways to chop me in ten different ways lol. I feel like posting a topic here and ranting out loud is like putting yourself on the chopping block. Also just because I appreciate and call for original inspiring RPs, doesn't forbid me from making or participating in fandom RPs. It doesn't contradict my opinions if I made a Fandom RP. I dunno, I am anything but an elitist.
