[OOC] The Spirits Within II

[Mirandae]

I hope everyone are having a better day than mine. Standard panic in the days before essay hand-in.

[DJAtomika]

Sorry my post is taking so long. x.x

[JJ Doe]

You’re not alone @Prisk, I’m in the middle of finishing up an essay on Monsanto vs Schmeiser for my bioethics class… Fun times! :D

No prob, @DJAtomika.

[clericbeast]

Sorry my post is also taking forever - I'll have time to finish it up tonight. I've been extremely tired lately.

[JJ Doe]

Well, that's not good. Have you been resting enough @clericbeast?

... Holy crap, has it been a month since this thread started? How time flies…


Also (for those in the distant future of May 10):

[Mirandae]

Yes, 1 month and this is already starting to suffer the same fate as the last one. I bitched a lot about 'consistency' in the first iteration, myself belonging to one of the few who post regardless of life situations, but I don't want to do that this time. This time around I will simply end the roleplay when I deem the posting inconsistent.

Wow... I do sound like a bitch again.

[DJAtomika]

I posted. Unhappy with the length, but it's my best attempt. I hate writer's block.

[JJ Doe]

It is always better than no post at all,@DJAtomika. Writer's block is a terrible ordeal, but continuously writing will help you through it ;)

P.S. If I vanish without a trace, it's because I (and my mother, for that matter) died from sugar overload; it happens when you eat the entire half of a cake alone. My mother and I have no regrets, though: it was the best birthday & mother's day cake ever.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in the OOC the past couple of days; Comcast is worthless garbage and kept screwing up my internet. :P

@JJ Doe Wren is scared of deep waters. She can swim, but when she was young she tried to dive off a diving board in the deep end to show off in front of everyone, but slipped and ended up fracturing her leg; she fell in and couldn't swim to the surface, so she had to be saved by a lifeguard. I've been coming up with some headcanon in my spare time; this is just one of many childhood memories I've written for her.

If you make her go diving in an ocean sometime in the roleplay, she'll lose her damn mind. xD

[DJAtomika]

@JJ Doe Eric's deathly scared of heights.

[Mirandae]

I posted. Unhappy with the length, but it's my best attempt. I hate writer's block.

@DJAtomika

Like @JJ Doe said, better than no post at all. Besides, there wasn't much to react to. Also, my trick for defeating my writer's block is to write a little every day, just a 100 words or so. And by the end of the week, I've got a nice 700-ish words post to deliver.

I'm somewhat done with my other obligations now, so I'll have more time to spend here. I will wait a bit more for @clericbeast, though, before continuing.

[JJ Doe]

*Sees TSW at the bottom of the Advanced Roleplay list* No! I will not allow you to go to page 2! Take this!

Because knowing (random stuff) is half the battle! :D

@DJAtomika

I will... keep this in mind.

Drops outs, writer's blocks, and 16 posts in a month. I can't say that things are going particularly well, or what action I should take.

[DJAtomika]

@Prisk We needs more posting! :D

[Mirandae]

@clericbeast messaged and said that she has to drop out due to personal issues. So, with that, I'm closing this down.

I'm trying to work on my perfectionism, because it ruins a lot of my efforts in my life, but all the setbacks so far in this roleplay are just too much for my senses. I have a specific vision and idea for stories like these, and that might be a problem for several reasons.

@DJAtomika@bluejay_gl@Free Faller, thanks for your participation. Please make sure to use your characters in other roleplays, so that this wasn't a total waste.

@JJ Doe thanks for trying to keep things motivated, dear. I'm sure there will be more opportunities in the future.

Anyway, from this short run, I've learned a ton of stuff to bring with me to my next project. I'm also available to all of you through PM, if you have any questions or want to bash me for closing this down.

[DJAtomika]

Thanks Prisk. Was fun!

[bluejay_gl]

Oh no! Well, I understand. Thank you for the opportunity, everyone. It was enjoyable while it lasted!
