Inkwell Dedication

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Inkwell Dedication

Inkwell Dedication

 

Some of you have noticed that the Inkwell is filled with lovely rps.

Well, people have mentioned it in their leaving posts that they were so excited for every rp, but amazing rps die before they even start.

Amazing world building? Poof. Gone before you can even get to the good part.

What brought me to this conclusion?

The Ranger rp.

I really love the Ranger's apprentice books and I did so much off screen development to Nalia.

So I want to challenge every one of you.

Just how dedicated can we be this year?

Let's make a promise to not leave rps behind. Go the extra mile. Even when we don't feel like it.

AMEN!

Oh my Gandalf, I have really been getting annoyed by the sheer mass of dead RPs on the inkwell. It's huge. My Digital RP died, I think, and I thought it had so much potential. Apparently, I was wrong... Oh well.

Yes, Icy. I agree completely! I always do my best not to give up on RPs, and I'm glad you share my views. Can I add that if you want to drop out of an RP, please let the other people in the RP know? It's hard to continue if half the people are missing, but you don't know if they've left or are uninspired. Thanks!

Although I haven't been on the CB for a long time, I have noticed RP's dying.  I really love RP's, but many of them seem to die before they even get to the good parts.  I'm going to try my best to keep up with every RP I join.  I don't want any good ideas for RP's to go to waste.  Lets save RP's!

Yea! I love the Ranger RP, and I'm super excited because we start TOMORROW!!! :D

My favorite RP I've ever been in was DEFINITELY the Ilvay (?) RP. I got to play the super-evil-mind-control-enchatress villian! Roleplays can be very fun, we just need to give them enough dedication. I have no intention of letting the Ranger RP die young, and I'll do everything I can to keep it going.

That's true! I agree, Icy, and I understand your frustration when an RP you like does. But don't you think that old RPs dying would make room for new ideas to form?

Same thing with my "recent" solo write.  If you call "recent" at least two months old.  The last comment was a week ago, and it was by ME.  I'm waiting to get ten people, and judging by the amount of people who have signed up, I don't think that'll ever happen.  

U so right, @Icy!!

Amen to that! unfortunately, I can't be on all the time, and keeping up with the RPs I'm in can really get tough, not to mention the ones I start. I think every time I see a cool new RP, I just think, Wow! Sounds cool! I should join this! Without really listening to that little voice telling me, no, you are in WAY over your head already, Leeli! They seem so awesome when I join, and then afterward, I struggle to keep up with them, making small posts with little more than a paragraph. These types of posts take the plot NOWHERE. At least when I make them. So I will try to ONLY join 2-3 RPs at a time with ONE charrie (because like with RPs, I can't keep up with too many charries), so that I can stick with them, and actually put some effort into my posts. I'd love it if everyone could try the same thing, because I see too many RPs, GOOD RPs, die nowadays. They barely get past a few pages now. One of the most progressive RPs I've ever seen (well, besides Kyngdom, but that's different) is the spirit animals RP. Thanks to Claaws, who has topped it and restarted it and never given up, it has NOT died. Let's be like Claaws with more RPs. We can do this.

Hey, will you guys join the Babysitters Club RP? It would mean the world to me. Thanks.
