i mentioned it to kristen, but she's always just about ready to quit, and has a lot of stuff in her own little rp world. i still make up characters, but i can honestly say that i AM ashamed of myself for not getting back into RP again. i want to, but for some reason i can't get myself to do it. i sit sometimes, with a char in mind, and try to think up a good post, or name, or anything, and i just end up not being pleased with what i come up with so i give up before i even start. and it makes me go "what the hell. you used to be able to do this and easily, what happened?". i'm sorry about your forum and i know i was no help at all. are you still going to keep it up for general talking? i check more often than did before now.
Yeah, I'm prolly just going to delete all the roleplaying sections entirely and just have discussion, debate and art/fiction sections. Those are the only places that get any kind of activity as it is.
I've... essentially given up on RPing online, to be honest. A sad statement to be sure but it's really just the way it is to me.
Characters I play tend to just.. not fit in well, and I can't help but be an elitist. Fan RPers either don't portray it right or pick retarded-ass series that I mindlessly seethe with hatred at, so I don't fit in well with them.
Fantasy RPers just.. clash with me. Dunno why, even though I term myself as a scifi/fantasy sort. Same for Sci-fi, incidentally.
I suppose I'm just built for pen/paper. I spent... five or six years of my life RPing online, and these last two or three years of pen/paper have been more satisfying than damn near any online RP I've ever engaged in. Granted there are a few shining examples but they were wholly the result of spontaneity spawning a multi-tiered plot of some sort.
I dunno. The state of RP in all my old haunts makes me sick, I can say that much.
Sounds familiar, but we're in the boonies and I'd rather not pen and paper RP with Nate's brother. His online RP characters are obnoxious enough without being D&Dified.
I used to roleplay in Furcadia which is a sad thing in its own, but we had a great time and there were always many things going on. Everyone was creative and enjoyed roleplaying with each other. Then something happened and it quickly disinegrated.
I tried a few times to start back up but it just wasn't the same. I think because I expected it to stay the same that I was so disappointed and eventually gave up.
Now when I try to even come up with a character, the most I can come up with is one line of text.
I never roleplayed in a forum, like you mention, but the situation sounds similar. The current atmosphere consists of annoying fandoms and cranky oldies.
