I'd be willing to take over spring as long as I don't have to use Natsu's Spring Queen.

I think the reason that people ducked out is cause really they're lazy. I had a freeform style RP a bit like this one but with demons and it fell apart because of those involved only two people were actually down with writing events into the RP. Everyone else just wanted me, the GM, to drop plot bombs for their character to react to it.

I see only two ways to fix that, having some sort of screening process for those wanting to apply. Those that are only kind of interested won't bother, those that really are interested will jump through hoops for it.

The other option would be to restart this in the Advanced category where presumably the writers are a little more experienced and mature.
