If I actually decide any of those subjects are worth going into more detail on, yeah, I'll send a PM over your way. Feel free to PM me too if you have something you'd like to talk about. This latter statement is technically an invitation to anyone who wants to speak with me as well.

Yeah, writing with other people can add enjoyment to it. Admittedly, due to the nature of my project (being so closely attached to the foundation of who I am), I don't like involving people in the creation of the official story itself (except my fiancé over the last few years, who has a lot of impact on the actions of some of the female characters now, I guess sort of like a muse of sorts), but I do really enjoy role-playing with friends using my project's setting, and while I definitely don't depend on having other people who want to see my story to motivate me to write it, having people who are interested definitely helps prevent me from procrastinating during my times of bad morale. Most of the people who actually know me realize I have an enormous amount of willpower, but I really was not exaggerating in my introduction post when I said I frequently make jokes that the cosmos is trying to prevent me getting this project out at all costs.

With what you said about not liking to consider a role-play "done", I can definitely get behind that. As I've said before, I have actually finished several RP sessions with my main circle that used my setting as the basis, and due to the size of my project and how many different characters, stories, and plots it focuses on, it really is easy to think of those role-plays finishing as just an "episode" or an "arc" finishing, not the end of the story itself, so thankfully we never have to feel like "it's all over". As the project got progressively more fleshed out, we did need to "reboot" the role-play sessions occasionally, and for obvious reasons those sessions would not have been considered "canon" to the official story, but the people who got involved in these role-play sessions never needed to worry about the stories completely ending or them not being able to continue using those characters, since there was always the potential for many more plots.
