I have felt this way for a while, and it seems that nobody has addressed this issue yet, so I thought, why not? Before you read this, I do realize that people may feel a different way for various reasons, but this is my personal opinion. Role-play threads are just a bit obnoxious. I don't see them as a terrible distraction, but I feel that they are annoying at times... They take up a lot of space in the Fan Fiction forums instead of the stories that people have poured their hearts and souls writing. Maybe, you guys could team up and make one big club and have time blocks for which role-play theme to do and so forth or maybe you could go to an almost empty category of the forums and continue it there. Just a few suggestions... I know that many writers also participate in these threads and may disagree, but does anyone feel likewise?
Also, since many role-plays were closed, maybe you could restart them elsewhere as stated in my second suggestion?
Yeah.. They take a lot of the space, i know i randomly take part of them. But not in all of them. There are way too many. Why? Cause people get bored. So they create new ones. It's ok, then the old ones die. Buf suddenly someone bumps a lot of the old ones and they take the whole 1st. Page. Lolwut? Just stop creating a new rp when you get the hell bored. ~
This wouldn't be a problem if there were a role play section I write and role play when I'm bored. Somebody tried to make a petition for this a while back but it died… I agree with you somewhat.
I agree for the most parts some times role-playing is fun but we need to cut down on the number of role-play threads
