[quote=@mickilennial] Eh, I can see this for fandom RPs, but for people who create original content this is effectively asking to steal someone's prompt and run with it with no consideration to the effort they put in. I can understand being frustrated, but it is completely understandable when people would rather the RP die than someone run with their work. [/quote] This is a hot take (maybe) on my part, but if a person is going so far as to invite other people into a world/universe/lore they've crafted by way of making and RP, they've already handed away a noticeable degree of control to others anyways. From the point that a GM accepts another player's character(s) into the fold, [b]absolute[/b] control is forefeited. And if a GM is too bogged down to give their own work any attention, but has half a dozen players that are able to willing to keep things going, seems a bit selfish to just pull the plug. What's the harm in having a Co-GM or two that can hold the fort while the GM Prime is busy with other life things? If someone wants a story to move entirely at their discretion, they're best off just writing a solo piece, IMO. Incidentally, I've personally seen more GMs with [mostly] original RPs willingly and smoothly hand the GM role to others than I have GMs running Fandom RPs. Both instances I cited of GMs denying or being less-than-amicable about transfer of responsibility were Fandom RPs, for example.
