pokes around, trying to find people

Heyo

@Ghost Butt Are you still interested in the collab?

Have y'all seen the new (newish? I'm not sure when it showed up) information on wizard schools on Pottermore? It's pretty interesting.

I saw it but I haven't had the time to sit and read it

So, here's the lay down:

I am a horrible GM.

That's pretty much it. That's the reason why the RP has been so static - because I am inexperienced in GM-ing, and I apologize for my incompetence. I had no direction in which I wanted the RP to go and the immersion has been damaged because of it. I was so focused on the world-building, I didn't bother with the plot when I should have. And I apologize sincerely, especially to those of you who have been here since the very beginning and have had to restart over. and over. and over. and over again.

But like I said, I do not plan to give up on this RP. I sacrificed literal sleep over this and have put too much work into it. A such, I am going to be remaking it - with a plot - and will be placing it back in casual where it can attract more players and give us more variety. I plan to be ditching Aella all together and focusing on my twin characters that I have been working on, because I feel as if I have grown as a writer and want it to show in my character.

I would like to also note that the acceptance standards will be changed slightly and as such, I will not be automatically accepting your characters. As of right now, I see no problem in writing with your characters, but I personally would like to change up the characters and chemistry. Of course, if you don't want to do that, I understand, but I will not accept it automatically and will review it again.

Ah, don't be so hard on yourself. I mean, everything you said after this is true, but that doesn't make you a horrible GM. Inexperienced, sure. But that can't be helped. You keep putting in an honest effort each time and keep learning from it so far as I can tell, which I appreciate. That's why I stick around. That said, I might set put Dor aside and bring in a different character (who admittedly is actually very similar), but I'm not sure yet. Guess we'll see who seems to fit best.

Also I took the liberty of linking to your new interest check for those interested ;)

Inexperienced does not mean horrible. I think, even though it's been rough, you've done a really good job with this RP. You've put so much effort into it and created a beautiful setting that I'm sure even JK Rowling would be impressed by.

That said, I would still like to be apart of this but I'm probably going to be making changes to my character (maybe even making a new one altogether.) It's too bad that you're going to be getting rid of Aella as I really liked the idea of our character's friendship but that's alright. Hopefully this time the RP will be more successful :)

@Apokalipse you know Amelia and I will be back. But I will change her as needed to meet your standards, though she still offers a view no other character in the thread can. Unless more first years or younger characters come along.
