Up to a few years back I had a dedicated group of some 10 people with whom a two full universes were established, one rooted in fantasy and the other sci-fi. They weren't the longest posters, not the best roleplayers, and at times left things sitting a few weeks on end, but they always came back and the stories continued - best roleplaying I had seen, in other words. A roleplay that lasted and wasn't something I blew time on only to see it sink like so many others over the years. Casual, yet effective. I'm now left with most of my characters and stories unfinished, and most of what I create is based off those stories. So, similar to above, I am left with a pair of universes (the newly sunk ship known as Waeldeshore very nearly at the point of carrying the torch for the fantasy realm) that are unlikely to ever have endings for most of my expansive lists of characters. I joined RPG a few months after the group died for good; I got off to an ok start, but various life events have whittled me down to the point where I'm extremely picky on what roleplays I'm interested in, and the ones I do select as candidates often fall off the radar after seeing what actual in-character posts look like or even going from interest check to OOC. Too short posts make me go "eeh", too long "nope". But that's a rant on a subject nobody else cares about :p
