Roleplaying...

 You know, on one hand, it'd be fun to try and get into DW RPing again. It's been literal years, and the few times I've tried recently (recently like past few years) I.... uh...

...admittedly, dropped off the face of the planet. I could hardly keep up with tumblr RP either the few times I tried. Maybe for a week or so, but then...mmm.

Ask Blogs ended up being more of a godsend to me--- art is fun, answering asks more casually is fun, usually (save a couple times) you don't have an obligation for replies or doing things quickly. Things being on my own time and pace and however my spoons are was nice,

However: I completely know my issues with RP ion the past have basically been due to imaginary hold-ups in my head. Anxieties and worries and expectations and stuff. Which leads to me feeling hesitant to respond due to worries of that, leading to... the RP dying.

Slowly, but surely, with some friends of mine, I think I've been getting past that more, though?

I admit I'm nervous to even try though with other people due to the previously mentioned... Being Really Bad with it. I just need to remember not to freak myself out with it. It's meant to be fun times, enjoyable to do, a creative outlet-- and also, no matter how many times one had failed before, that doesn't mean they should stop trying. Just keep at it. At least in this kind of situation, maybe.

...on that note. I am also much more on being indie than the whole game thing that I know LJ and DW have had. But we'll see how it all goes, hmm.

I wonder if there would be a way to have an "ask blog" on here? Possibly just by posting something and then getting questions for characters. But then it might be difficult to get people to subscribe in the first place, and moreso if the character is an original character.

As far as rps dying after so many replies, or before they "finish", especially on tumblr, most people can understand that and are open to continuing or starting new threads later as long as you don't just ghost them. I know that's hard too, since it might happen unintentionally if you're worried about how to talk to them again. But I think sometimes we just need to say "I know that's the anxiety talking" and just say hi again.

I've wondered that as well! The only thing is that... ask blogs as they are now are pretty much a mostly Tumblr thing, with how Tumblr works allowing them to work as they do. Not to say adaptions couldn't be made, since I know there's like... deviantart ask accounts too? but it would seem to be potentially more difficult... Never know, though. : | a

Hhh yeah, I end up hearing that, especially since it's mostly with friends-- so like, they did know and understand at least, there was just that... twinge of 'Ah, I let them down,'

Again that's-- mostly my own issue I'm getting better with, ahaha. I definitely try not to ghost people at least and give some update of what's going on.

Yeah I've had my own issues where I've not talked for what felt like too long. But! Almost every time I've reached out again everyone was happy to continue talking.

I'd check out ask games here, and how the messaging system works and see if those can be quoted in posts (with permission of the sender of course) for public responses. Otherwise, people commenting might work better, and it would be less likely that people would send questions that were already asked.
