Ghosting sucks, buts it's 100% a part of RPing

Sometimes they got busy, sometimes they lost interest, like BrokenPromises said sometimes there's an issue and the other writer figures it's easier to ghost than to risk a confrontation.

I absolutely agree about group RPs though.

If you and I are in a 1x1 and I get busy I'll likely be too busy to tell you I'm busy and by the time I log back in I might feel bad about that and therefore just completely ghost the RP.  It's a shitty thing to do but it's usually not malicious it's just kind of the way of things.

If we're in a group RP it means even if I drop out you can RP with the other members and then when I get back I can either rejoin or you all can carry on without me.  Even in Group RPs though sometimes folks join just to RP with one poster and ghost when that person disappears.
