[@Tyler] I've been a part of Wraith's RPs too many times that when I see this I immediately assume it's going to be the end. I'm still bummed about the X-Men RP we did because I was having a lot of fun, only to have that taken from me. So naturally I go on the offensive when I see something faltering because I am just plain tired of good RPs dying because no one has the decency to at least post that they aren't interested anymore or that they are busy IRL and can't get to a post.

Well I mean, ultimately, roleplaying is a collaborative medium. You're always going to work with other people, and those other people might not have the means or interest to post as frequently or regularly as you might like. That's just the nature of writing as part of a roleplay. I've found that it's a lot more enjoyable to stop getting angry about it, take a rack off, and just enjoy things as they come. Each post is an outlet for me to play with an idea, and ultimately it doesn't matter how quickly we reach the 'end' - or if we even get there. The sooner you find fun in the actual process of writing vs. 'roleplaying', the sooner you'll have a much easier time. Because then it becomes "Hey, cool, I get to write" vs. "Ugh, why is everyone slowing me down". 

Do you write independently at all? Roleplaying for me is primarily a way for me to get some social interaction from an otherwise isolating hobby, but it's also a great opportunity to explore themes/ideas before using them in my own independent work. It's something to consider.
