One thing I like to do is collaborative posts—one or two, sometimes three, collaborate on one huge post where they can do all the conversational back-and-forth without cluttering up the channel. Usually on Google Docs although I've seen other mediums being used. Heck, some even do it through...
Haha, that's for sure.
One of the other problems I've encountered is people who can't quite comprehend my prose stylings. It is eccentric and bizarre, to be sure, yes, but I find it very difficult to abandon my thing.
I won't lie: character sheets! The bane of my existence!
Why, God, oh why! Les dangereaux!
