☑ HOW'S MY DRIVING MEME

All of us have those moments where we are uncertain about our characterization. Sometimes feedback is the best medicine! So, step on up and post your roleplay accounts and the games you have them in. Let others come by and tell you how you're doing and let others know what you think! Give legitimate reasons and not just "I love you!" Save that for our monthly love memes.

It's burnout, anon, absolutely. That's why I've dropped down to the single character I felt like it was important I keep up playing (he's the only one with an existent cast, I really wanted to give C&C murder hijinks, etc etc), why I'm not apping anyone else (including Lust at Ax) unless I am on the absolute top of my game a month from now, and why I went on hiatus in both games a few months ago. But I'm not on hiatus anymore, and that means it's time to suck it up. Truth be told, I'm way more invested and active in C&C than I am in any other game (all... one of them...) right now, but the fact is I've played here for over four years and felt the same sporadic now-i'm-interested-now-i'm-not pendulum action for at least two of them. That has nothing to do with anyone but me! If anything, I should be more open about plotting things with people in detail, since that helps keep up the momentum on a good streak as opposed to letting it gutter out and sliding back into the same old patterns. I'm sorry for being tough to plot with recently, because I can guarantee it's nothing to do with you or anyone else in the game; it's no generalization to say you guys have always been exceptional writers and friends, and you don't deserve to get brushed off or neglected. If you're comfortable with giving any more specific details, here or elsewhere, I'd love to talk it out with you and see if there's any ways to step things up between us in particular.

It's definitely not a C&C-specific thing, either, although I do feel like last fall I was neglecting it in favor of Ax by virtue of a new shiny character in a new shiny setting? YMMV there, since I wasn't playing Brian at C&C then and I'm not sure how much picking him up and dropping Michiko might have changed my activity. Either way, it's been some pretty universal burnout for the last several months, and although I've been trying harder to get over myself and not drop threads recently that doesn't change what's already been left by the wayside due to that burnout. Backtagging also doesn't change the image of my playing habits! I am hesitant to tag out spontaneously to people I don't know, not because of the fact that Brian's a bad guy but because he's just so goddamn gross, not to mention the first character I've played who specifically targets woman. That's not something I'd want to impose on anyone out of the blue without knowing beforehand that the other character is also a freakshow and/or the player is down with it, but it impedes some of that organically-forming CR which is one of the greatest (imo) things about C&C.

This isn't an attempt to justify inactivity and a lack of investment, btw, and I hope you don't take it as that; you're totally right, and these are concerns I've had myself for forever, so I'm really glad you came to me with them. I just wanna make it clear what perspective I'm coming at this from, because hopefully that'll make it easier to work out ways of chucking that perspective in the trash and get back on the ball! And that means textvomit, and holy christ I hope this is all comprehensible but if it's not just tell me and I'll clarify.
