[@Dinh AaronMk] But why is there a time to give up? It often is really just a matter of waiting for the right people to see the RP. Hell, go into the chat and see if there's anyone there that would be interested, or the Facebook page. If you really want to RP an idea, I don't see why you should give up eventually. Re-evaluate, certainly, but just decide you won't try? No, I flat disagree with this one.

Just because there are RPs in a field doing better than yours, doesn't mean you shouldn't try for a good successful RP. At some point, there just isn't an RP you REALLY want to join, or you feel passionate about. In these cases, it's time to step up and make one. I don't think one should let the fact that there are already highly successful threads stop people from trying to form their own. I DO agree that one should look at what makes the successful ones take off, but it shouldn't deter people from attempting.
