@Joshua Tamashii

Heyo

@Ghost Butt Are you still interested in the collab?

[Prints Avoid]

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.

@Apokalipse

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 ;)

@Apokalipse

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 :)

[Joshua Tamashii]

@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.
