Recently, one of my favorite roleplays that had been going on since before the original RPG went down, was dropped without a word. (Insert every cuss word imaginable here!) Since then my motivation for all of my other roleplays has been slowly diminishing. I've tried finding other roleplays to fill the void of the dropped one, and I've taken a few days off hoping I would get inspired again, but each time I try to reply to the few roleplays that I have going on, I get nothing at all. It's not writer's block, because I did manage to come up with some stuff, but all my ideas seem to be for the roleplay that was dropped. 

My question is, what does everyone else do to get a roleplay out of their system? I considered creating another roleplay with the characters I created for the original roleplay, but that doesn't seem quite right since my partner's characters are directly involved with the development of some of them. I even thought about writing up something killing off the main character to kind of put an end to it, but I'm rather attached to her. Anyone have any suggestions?

Avoid role playing like the black plague. It's kind of like a really good book: After I read one, I will invariable be disappointed with every other book I read until I take a brief respite. Same goes for video games and movies and so on. If some particular thing is stuck in my mind and it's ruining the entire hobby I will avoid the hobby and stop thinking about that thing by pursuing other hobbies and things for a while.

You don't stop thinking about a role play by role playing even more. I think that's the definition of Stockholm Syndrome. :hehe
