❝CURRENTLY ON HIATUS❞ (♡ヮ♡)
Edit: Thanks for all the replies and feedback guys!
So, I'm sure we're all familiar with ghosting, whether we've been ghosted or whether we've (intentionally or unintentionally) ghosted someone in a roleplay. But what about during the actual plotting process?
I can't count how many times I agree to do a story with someone, but then once the actual plotting begins, I start to realize that things might not work out, either because we both have very different expectations for how we want the story to go, or because of differing tastes/likes/ideas, or whatever else.
I genuinely feel really bad backing out now since I already agreed to it with them, and they seem really excited, and we even exchanged character sheets... so I'm wondering if I should just go along with it anyway and give it a shot, or should I back out early to save both of us the time and trouble? And if it's the latter, is there a nice way of letting them down easy? (Maybe something like "actually, I was looking through your samples again and I don't think we'd really make good partners after all")? I hate to disappoint them after getting their hopes up, but I feel like it might be worse to go through with the plotting when I'm almost sure it won't work out, only to drop once the roleplay begins? What do you guys think? >.<
Thanks!
