Too wordy?! guys, EVERYTHING WE WRITE IS TOO WORDY. I'm so used to everyone and their walls of text. *snif*
I've been encouraged since I joined the ToSF to basically write a paragraph in my RP posts, and consequently, those paragraphs have since multiplied. So, now it's some kind of weirdo mindscrew when I go to other forums, and I'm the only person posting with 3-5 paragraphs... ;_;
I've been attempting to play videogames, shrink my book queue, and I've joined Twitter (I'm most active there).
I also have a full-time job with the government! Don't worry, I won't arrest you~ I'm basically a graphic design intern or something. XD

Yeah I know how you feel IC. A friend of mine wanted me to join an RP once and it consisted of multiple pages of like 1 paragraph posts and here I come with a 10 paragraph 1st post. Everyone was like Wtf man! XD
Government eh? Interesting, thats really cool.

ICE IS A GOVERNMENT SPY!
And I was lucky in that I found a group of RPers on Gaia around early march of this year. For the most part, they're pretty literate, and the ideas they come up with area fun. Posting gets slow sometimes, but both RPs have been active for 4-6 months. We recently lost a lot of characters though, so it's hit a bit of a rut.
One of them involves royals from different elemental nations (fire, water, earth, darkness, light). There are two earth princesses, two darkness princes, boy and girl twins from the fire nation (played by gabby and I), and one prince from the water nation. Well, we've had to change one of the earth princesses and one of the darkness princes a total of THREE TIMES! D:
They're like... the cursed spots in the RP. -__-
Anyway, we've been dead on this forum for a while now. Probably close to a year lol. Maybe we should get started on a new project.

Well thats cause you went off to the land of the rising sun and then Lily disappeared and well... the rest of us just stopped coming. Then you stopped with your dragon RP lol We have things we can do/continue, we just need to do it.
Oh, and would it be possible to let me edit the Rapture skin on here real quick? The black looks great with the grey on pure looks but when it actually comes to reading long bits of text on there it really starts to bug me haha Thats why I havent gotten into that new RP idea just posted.

Yes, this is all true. And you should be able to edit the skins now! Change away!

We could always continue with the sub ending of Istamek if you get Gabby back and theres my demon hunter RP that most people have expressed interest in doing which would be fun, and obviously theres the Hero of Legend one so theres plenty of stuff, lets just get it going.
Also, I edited the skin. I dont think anyone else uses it so I just made it whats good for me, but if someone else does just let me know what you think and it can be fixed lol

Yeah, the other RP I'm on is at Richard's Animorphs Forum (RAF), and it's getting difficult to keep within the PG-13 limits. It's hard to describe why, exactly. Lawls. But, there's definitely a mix of ages and and skill levels, and have recently experienced the pain of rapid-fire posting.
You could say I got a little too used to things here, where we know each other well enough, and things move a little slower.
Although, I do understand and remember when things were different, and I could post 4 times a day. I remember the first RP I ever joined very fondly, at that! We started with a bunch of characters and participants, and then it rode down to only three. By the end, I was a fairly competent writer, and everyone pretty much had two characters. Good times, really.
But, these days, I don't think I could keep up with something like The Arena anymore (which is saddening, because I love fight scenes), or keep up all the time. Ah, such is the life of an... adult. Oy.
However, I think my entire experience at ToSF really shaped me as a role-player and writer. And here, I have characters I really enjoy and am proud of (especially Sam, aww). Lately, I'm really getting into the head of my current character at RAF, and seeing a lot of personal growth there too, so I'm flabbergasted at it all.
But... Now, all I can think of of how much I can't wait to RP with you guys again! *snif* I wish everyone was back, though.
Really, I miss you guys. Also, what's going on with Order Up? is it primarily just free-form character building and writing practice? Because, I can dig that.

I'm down for diving back into Istamek. I'll talk to Gabby and see what she thinks. She seems a bit busy right now, but she's only involved in one RP if I'm not mistaken. Maybe she'll be interested. I really miss Parisa. TT^TT
As for all our missing members, we only ever really had 7 or 8 active people lol. I suppose if we get active again, they might come back when they randomly drop by. I sent a mass email out to all the members telling them to drop by sometime. That might help a bit.
I want to do the dragon RP eventually, but I think it'll remain on hold for now. I don't know if I have enough time and energy to run any RPs at the moment.
But yeah, the demon hunter RP was another interesting one too! There was also Turk's crow people RP, but I think she wants to make that into a novel now.

CO, if you want, I can do some cleanup to create transparent versions of your images in the Rapture skin. The black "squares" our jars are sitting in is a little distracting to me.

Ah, I didnt know you still used this skin IC haha Is everything else alright for you?
Yeah I noticed them I just didnt feel like changing the image at that point in time. If you really want to do it, go for it lol
