will turn your insides into your outsides
This might be a little rant-y, but OMFG! it is hard to get people interested and organized into group RPs here!
Continuing from the advice given to me from some of the admin and other members on my "Tired of these RP Topics" post, I have made a handful of attempts to gather people around a couple different roleplay concepts. I made my own RT, trying to gather a group of like-minded individuals that were tired of the same 'ol thing. I've even come in and tried to give a goodly push on dwindling threads others made that I thought were really great ideas. I've even managed to find some obscure ideas that were falling back in the pages. And so far, nothing has come from any of it. I feel like I'm doing more than most would bother to when it comes to promoting any of these topics. I invite people to the OOCs (which usually are just a big waste of time), I do everything but start the damn thing with my own plot idea (because this will have people assume that I'm going to GM, which I am adamantly opposed to). I feel like I've cast a pretty wide net... and I'm pulling back on nothing. It's been a bit since I started taking action on the advice given to me, and I've got little to show for all the time spent doing so.
Even in some of the very few ideas that I've jumped aboard on, the surrounding enthusiasm does not seem to be shared. Either that, or my own enthusiasm is kind of on the fence, and I feel like I'm just settling so that I can actually participate in something. I'm pretty sure most of these RTs will not come to fruition, and tbh I will not altogether be surprised when they peter off. I've since dropped out of a few threads that were getting nowhere (I delete my comments so as to fully remove myself from the topic). And I suspect I will be doing the same with a couple more in my queue soon enough. I've been here just under two months. Usually when I've gotten in on a new site, things are supposed to e exciting and fresh and inviting... but tbh, I'm just meeting the same stagnant disappointment and isolation I've had elsewhere.
