I might have to comment on one thing in particular, as otherwise the majority of my comments are said by [@BrokenPromise] and it relates explicitly to how collaborative posts are done. The remark is simple, but it is the absolute root of my own disdain for it because while it [i]is[/i] a good tool for character and plot development, I seldom see it employed correctly; I still have not in my three plus years here. So, without further delay, the one addition I have to make.

[quote]If you [i]are[/i] going to do a collaborative post, do not make it all about you and whoever else is involved. Removing the opportunity to engage, involve, act or react by non-participants is not fun; not everyone wants to passively read your joint, multiple page essay that denies their involvement. That is just as bad as assuming control of their character, because by proxy your prevention of their actions [i]is[/i] control. Having the metaphorical door closed on the opportunity and ability to interrupt or reply becomes tiresome.[/quote]
