Bio

New roleplay: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/189457-the-eye-of-the-needle-where-fantasy-and-sci-fi-collide/ooc

Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.

I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.

This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.

My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

Is this still open? If so i'm tempted.
Welcome to the Guild, Neel!



I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a private message.
Also if you're into science fiction, check out the roleplay in my signature. We're always looking for new people.
Simply that it's sometimes hard to translate what you're seeing, hearing and learning into the context of your own life. We must be mindful, as fellow roleplayers, of the responsibility we might be undertaking as teachers and sounding boards when there are better qualified people.

What if the GM gives up in the RP though and the other players are still working on keeping it alive? Would that RP still be considered dead?


No I wouldn't say that. Merely... paralyzed from the waist down.
Also I sidn't say that its 'dead' when the GM decides to leave; only that it's their decision, as the primary contributor.
Methylated spirits by the state of my head this morning.
Wow, drinks are so cheap in Haywards Heath.
Romance can be absolutely essential. It displays very strong feeling between two constructs which i know can lead to some of the best roleplaying I've ever seen. But i feel it's also important to keep things tasteful. There are young people present who may not be mature enough to deal with certain information in a responsible manner. Aside from that, romance between two characters is fine as long as it doesn't make the rest of the group feel embarrassed and/or feeling excluded (double entendre not intended ). This is a guild for creative writing and to some extent a way of relieve pent up emotions and frustration, but it is not Pornhub.
Depends on the people you roleplay with. I have the honour of calling some people friends on this forum, and one of the requisites is being a 'Roleplay Brick'. Someone who will never give up on a RP entirely, no matter how long and drawn out it gets. I believe it's the GM's decision as to when it is finally laid to rest or whether it's on a break or what. My advice to anyone wanting to build a long lasting roleplay is to build long lasting relationships with people who like the same things as you. A science fiction roleplay of mine has been going for just under three years, through three iterations and Guildfall, because of rock solid support from some wonderful people.
Thanks

I know! I don't often get a chance to write this way, i'm enjoying it too ;) Quite reluctant to let it turn into 'oh god zombies' hehe.
American Express, working in IT haha. Totally blagging my entire career.
I think our RP is going pretty swimmingly so far, wouldn't you agree?
