I can relate to being busy, but not to the writer's block part -- I'm a bit weird when it comes to that, because I don't think I've ever suffered from what people usually call writer's block, with the closest thing I have to it really being times when the massive amount of data I have to sort literally [i]prevents[/i] me from writing due to needing to go through the information. Apart from that, I'm usually able to write no matter how hectic life gets, so long as whatever I'm writing interested me in the first place (there's exceptions, but I don't tend to lose interest or gain interesting in things -- I either have it or I don't).

With that said, you're right in suspecting that I'm not particularly disappointed. I mostly joined up with this role-play because you were looking for some action and I needed an opportunity to exercise a bit and remove some of the rust from my writing abilities. With that in mind, I'll keep this thread in mind, but I don't intend on pressuring you to continue it because I'm not particularly fussed one way or another if we keep going. No need to feel like there's a deadline or obligation here, because I've got other things to do anyway. While I do believe that deadlines are needed for role-plays because it's a social hobby that requires commitment (people should just write solo if they don't want deadlines), this thread isn't all that important to me since I've already gotten what I needed out of it. If you end up contacting me in the future, we'll see what we can put together.

Regarding the 'depth and care' placed into the environment, are you referring to the maintaining of the site itself from a moderator/administrator perspective, or with the individual role-plays themselves? I agree that the site itself needs to be taken care of, but a lot of the problems with individual role-plays on this site are largely caused by lack of commitment with some of the members. I'm actually running my own role-play on this site now, which is one of the more active threads on the site from what I can tell, and the quality and detail in the project has already gotten people really admiring my GM/writing abilities apparently. With this in mind, I think you can find those who care for their projects, but you actually have to look for them harder due to this community being rather immature.

All the best.

Edit: I've now actually decided to leave the site permanently, mostly due to a combination of the community together with the fact that I'm being held back by this place. There aforementioned issue I spoke of regarding the lack of dedication and quality in this community has more or less made me decide that the place doesn't deserve the care, investment and depth I give. I'm generally dissatisfied with this site and its community, which is all the more reason not to tolerate the immaturity. I'll be sticking around only long enough to collect some data I left here.
