As for there being more "events" for players to react to, I think as long as the work is coordinated among an active team and not one person I think that can work.

I think I have my writing confidence back. Feels like centuries since I could string together sentences.

Vindication comes, so too does peace of mind as I close one chapter and open a new one.

Hi. I'm a role-player/writer who has spent over twenty-one years in this hobby.
I will pretty much write anything as long as my partner is cool with my inconsistent posting pace and momentum. I'm pretty sociable and I make dumb jokes all the time. My favorite things to write is capeshit, anime, space operas, horror, and slice of life/mundane drama. My writing level leans toward minimalism, but I try to give my partners/groups more than enough to work off of. I like to think I am pretty flexible.
I like cinema, music, and animation just as much as I like writing with people. My biggest hobby after writing is pop media analysis. Ask me questions or for suggestions and I'm sure to have something for you. 😎😎😎

May I offer you a egg in this trying time? 🤗🥚
But no, you came out with a really good sheet (as did others) and you were quite close. In fact, the final choice ended up being me struggling for four hours deciding between you and ERode. 😅
This one took a whole day of contemplation. I liked the majority of the sheets I received for this RP, but ultimately I went with what I felt had the dynamic I was looking for. At any rate, I will be working on the IC post over the weekend barring any issues from the Nursing Facility which has been giving me the runaround about my dad's stay there.
The last five accepted characters are as follows and can add their sheets to the characters tab:

A bit of real talk, something that I've been thinking about and that I'm sure has been discussed before: are we placing too much pressure-to-perform on ourselves?
As a writer improves in their craft, their standards for themselves and those they write alongside exponentially increase. I have found in recent years returning to the basics, how I fell in love with the hobby, and the ability to be concise and not as strict on detail has led to better results. Of course, I also took a year off of writing but this was something I started doing a little before life handed me a metaphorical knuckle sandwich.
In the 2013 and earlier games there was also more interactivity as well as flexibility. We interacted more, mentioned stuff in other people's posts, and were more free-flowing and experimental, and so on. I have oft struggled how to return to that and you guys were doing this for almost a decade before you came here in '13. Perhaps some thinking adjustments would be astute?
I start to develop a mentality of "no post is better than a bad post." That starts becoming a whole negative-feedback-thing, where I feel bad for not posting, so I start writing a post, and then I burn myself out trying to make it perfect, then I end up not posting it, and then I feel bad for not posting, etc.
This is a cycle I got trapped in with a lot of these games and to break it is to just simply follow an old writing advice I got: "fail faster" which essentially meant don't worry on perfection, engage with the imperfections and move forward. Polish it later if need be.
It might be easier to jump in and start jamming with each other than when everyone has to spend weeks or months establishing their particular lore before venturing out to cross paths. More often than not, that leads to less of a group roleplay and more of a collection of individual fanfics with the occasional crossover.
Some people prefer to be isolated and do their own thing, but for those of us who are not that this would be wise, I agree. And sometimes we wait for a "ideal" story window too much and so the window never opens. Sometimes the right time is to do it at the wrong time and play it by ear.
Almost have an idea of the roster finalized. When it is done, I will start writing the first IC posts and ask for you guys to transfer respective sheets over. Currently stuck between a handful of sheets with only two slots remaining at this time.

Hey now, there's like, at least 4 male characters out there. If all of them make the cut, you'd have almost 50/50 gender split.
"And I took that personally" —Zyran probably
Suppose it is just a waiting game, then.
I'm just happy to see any male characters at this point.
Again. You guys are all free to continue, I just am not in a position to GM myself
I imagine the thread creator would have to place new GMs in place if people were to continue or apply for the roleplay, no?
