I like making up characters and writing about them with other people but I've started to hate the formal expectations of most games.

The most fun I have anymore is fucking around on AIM with my buddies and the most detail we go into sometime is "And then so and so would do [x] and then [y] would happen!" and if any of that sounds interesting then we write out actual dialogue.

I also find that we end up doing the same scenes over and over sometimes and we have a million what-if AU's within AU's.

It's fun but I wish I could do it on a bigger scale.
