Really though you'll get the best results if you can find a bunch of people like me for whom RPing is the main or better yet only source of entertainment and who thus want to do it all the time. Like not once a week to change things up in between doing other stuff. Not when they are bored of doing all the other things they do and go "Well gosh. I guess I might as well post. Nothing better to do." But as their main and primary source of fun.

People like that will check the forums constantly and get off multiple posts a day and just keep the game going and fun like crazy. They actually form a community around the game and push each other to play like real friends.

I used to have a group like that back in the day. And frankly its something you have to experience to understand. It's like a high basically. But that was many years ago. And I think I'll newer find a group like that again.

So if you do find one don't let them go. You'll be regretting it for the rest of your life.

That rush of back-and-forth roleplay is a high I sincerely miss. I don't mind when a couple days pass without much story progress, so long as OOC activity is still there. Part of why I have ventured here is the longing for more activity in stories. My last RP group has, understandably, dwindled greatly in activity both IC and OOC.


I think where I get caught up is character building - I either get too many ideas or start with one that sounds fun but quickly gets cliché or trope-y. I can also get easily distracted in the details that are less story driven and more aesthetic driven.
