I'm not into it but my bff is, if you have a tumblr, I could give you hers? She's always looking for fellow kpop/kdrama fans.
Every story is different.
Some Adv RPs get great posts fairly frequently, which amazes me.
And some post just as great posts but at a slower pace, which is understandable.
Some players and plots need the fast pace while others don't. It depends on the point everyone is at in the RP, as well as personal free time.
Generally I ask for once post a week in the IC which I don't think is asking a lot in most cases where school or holidays aren't pressing matters. In this case, I also try to stress that the OOC be a bit more active. But again, each RP is different and should be viewed as such. If posts do take longer to appear, it's more reassuring to have the OOC active to explain delays or plot, but as a GM, you have every right to ask for more quick replies if you think things are moving too slowly, or to re-assess the plot and make it more engaging, if that's an issue with the players. Overall, I think healthy communication with players involved will set the pace for posts. Ask them about their posting habits and real life responsibilities so that you can adjust expectations accordingly.
Posting should feel like a hobby and not like a chore, if writers are happy, it tends to show in their writing.
But you're the GM and it's your job to make the RP enjoyable but also progress within reason. Each RP has its own sweet spot and it can change with the dynamics of the writers and characters.
In other words, just talk to your players and get a feel for what you think they can do and what you'd hope to have happen in the progression, as long as people talk and express ideas, things should progress naturally. Everyone should be happy and all that jazz.

I should be able to get a post up sometime today, I have a few things to do for a class but they don't seem too time consuming. :3
Yeah but it's not as bad as doing another essay so...
The air in the tiny room was tense and while Ana knew she had a right to be upset, it didn't feel good to hold onto negative feelings, especially toward her own mother. Ana finished her second cup of tea by the time a knock was heard. She remained seated and Mahea got up and answered it. "Hello." She replied, her mood a bit frosty. Still, she shook the boy's hand and stepped aside to let him in. "My name is Mahea." She said as Kieran headed inside. Mahea locked the door behind him after checking the hallway. No one else was around but she couldn't be too sure.
Anabelle glanced over at Kieran and offered a small wave to him. She wasn't sure what to make of everything. It had been made clear to her that healing powers weren't always good. On one hand, she was hurt that her mother would withhold such information that was vital to her life. But on the other, she could sort of understand why her mother would be protective about such matters. It was a tough line to walk and she knew it was better to focus on the present, rather than worry about the past since it couldn't change. "Thanks for coming over so late." She said and waited for him to sit down.
Mahea looked between the two of them and went to go refill the teapot. She came back and sat back down, looking to Kieran. "You know I'm very uncomfortable with the information you gave my daughter this afternoon, it was not your place to explain such things for your own personal gain." While she knew it wasn't an entirely selfish act on the boy's part, she still knew his motives were to help the war in the other world. She still kept tabs on everything, she knew how valuable a healer was in any situation. "I wanted her to grow up without the war, without the prejudice." She said. "Without people from any side, trying to use her." Mahea stressed.

Since Rhys didn't seem too interested or confident in finding someone for her, Devon decided to drop the topic. He could only suggest so much but it was her power and her responsibility. He just didn't want to travel with a liability. As they walked off, he removed his arm from her and kept walking. "Hm? Oh this town doesn't take any money, we tend to barter with goods or skills." He told her. "Don't worry." He said as they wandered into a small tavern. It had candles around the walls, held up by small wooden shelves. He had been here once before but always liked to try something new.
For now though, he thought this place would suit their needs and he could always find a different place to try another day. Devon set his pack on one of the benches and walked over to the bar. A man and woman were behind it and they seemed to be having a discussion when he walked up. "Evening." He waved to them. "We'll take whatever is left over." He told them, figuring it was more polite to ask for what they had laying around, rather than want something fresh. He knew food shouldn't go to waste and it may come at a less taxing cost.
The couple nodded and he headed back over to Rhys. "Generally we barter after we eat, this town is pretty trusting, which is hard to believe I know...but...these people are good people." He told her. "Since this town is such an accomplishment, many people are pretty respectful and honest, they've fought off several attacks and are still standing today." He said as a tray was brought over to them. A jug of water, two wooden cups, and a stone platter with bread, fruit and cured meat. It wasn't the freshest but it was by no means rotten or old. "Thank you." He said and poured them some water before he dug in.

Hello there WWW! 2-4 paragraphs and your general activity is fine with me.
Let's see, for GoT I would be interested in Tyrion x Sansa as I did start shipping them prior to the "twist" of their betrothal. And with proper development, Sansa could mesh well with Tyrion.
Now for LoK, I have yet to finish season two's finale since I became a little bored and have yet to check out season three though I intend to later in the year during some academic downtime. So we'd need to do something in season two or perhaps one, depending on what tone and tweaking we would do. I'm interested in either pair equally at the moment.
I don't think it's possible to like HP too much. In terms of portraying either Snape or Lupin, did you have an idea in mind? I know different writers have different inflections for canons and I was curious if you had any ideas based on the pair with Hermione. Does that make sense, sorta?

Alrighty, I have some homework to fiddle with in the meantime.
