They say I'm caught up in a dream
Thanks. I've got more ideas than I know what to do with though. The problem is that I only have time for one play at the moment. But thanks for your kind offer. ♥

I find a good way around this is to put all the settings in a google doc for your own information then in the overview do a elevator pitch style interview.poppet said:Also, I agree. I tend to write a lot and that tends to scare people off who are just here for a quick fix or who have busy real lives and can't keep up.
Ah well in that case just asking people what their post schedules are like is honestly helpful. I know in another site many groups would actually have you put your timezone and hours of availability in your character request.poppet said:I'm fairly sure I did that this time around (my first and only play here so far), though minus the doc. I used a small paragraph to reel people in, and on the next page added the important details. Any questions were asked and answered in the OOC. It's my personal character posts that can get long, lol. I had 15+ people interested/join this play. It's keeping people there that's the problem. I've gotten, "Oh sorry, summer vacation," after already having been gone for a month. "Unsure of where to jump back in," and a super old friend who's just having life issues. It's really, in my opinion, flakey people who don't really have any intention on committing to something if something interesting them more comes along. (And of course the actual real life things.)
Well post orders ironically work best with smaller groups. Or very linear style stories. Sort of like a round robin.Ironrot said:Kind of related, but I'm curious, how regularly do you expect posts, @poppet?
I've also never been in an RP with a post order. It seems like they would have a significant impact on an RPs post rate.
