rpanons | Your privilege at any time is only as strong as the wifi signal

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I've been in a real funk since Thanksgiving where I get real excited over the idea of threads but when it comes to writing out a tag or starting a new thread/log I end up staring at a blank comment box all night.

I feel guilty starting new threads when I have all these old ones hanging. For various reasons my threads progress maybe one or two tags a day. I'm thankful people are willing to backdate so much with me, but, man, I'm so frustrated with myself I wish I could finish threads much faster and actually build up plots that doesn't requite months and months or waiting, and then trying to justify what the hell my character was doing in between all that time in any manner that makes sense.

this is why I had to quit games

But for me it turned out to be a good thing, because when I no longer had an obligation suddenly I felt more free and excited to tag things, and also not so guilty to drop them when they weren't meshing right with me. I definitely want to go back to games when I get the time because I love the continuity and the whole jamjar deal, but for now I'm having a lot of fun in DRs not pressuring myself to do anything I don't fuckin feel like.

I tag SO SLOOOOOWLY at maybe a tag per hour or hour and a half. I also tend to write long introspection heavy tags, so that doesn't help, but rping takes up such a large fucking chunk of my free time as a result that it's making me feel guilty about spending so much time on it (banging out one or two tags) and then guilty about starting new threads.

urrrrrgh

> a tag per hour
> slow

unless you play in ecats that's not a bad rate at all

i know that feel re: feeling guilty about spending so much time on it/starting new threads, though

most of my tagging friends pump out tags in the 10-30 minute range, so i feel extremely slow in comparison and all my threads tend to mosey along

it's mostly the timesuck that i'm unhappy about though

so many of my friends keep saying they'd be super excited to do x plot or x ship or whatever with me and then mysteriously disappear when i actually ping them to get things done
