I haven't RPed in months. I don't have time for it, and for the most part I don't have the desire to do it. This is my choice; I wanted to spend my free time elsewhere. But sometimes, like when I read outstanding RP logs, I get a little twinge in my stomach. I miss RPing a little. (Not so much that I'd be willing to go back to it, but sometimes I ponder "what if".)
What if I didn't have to work, would I go back to RPing online? Probably so. Would I be nervous to re-start it all? Think my posing sucked ass? All that? Yep, but I believe I'd find some new game and get into it again, and probably come to enjoy myself.
But still, sometimes I worry a little that I fell off the horse and all this is just an excuse not to try to get back into it... But online RP can't really be maintained by just playing on the weekends...
Bah. The cause of all this pondering is
nindou, a Naruto RP group. This will sound conceited as heck, but I never really liked to read RP logs from scenes I wasn't in. For the most part, they tended to be boring to me (as they usually had no connection to my character). Not always, but usually. The majority of RP wasn't really up to my standards, either (I know, conceited conceited conceited). So color me surprised when I found the most wonderful RP logs to read! It helps that
nindou has Naruto as a theme, but a good theme would never be enough to overcome sucky RP and make me read it all afternoon. (And more RP snobbery: I never thought that really good RP could happen through LJ/IM/whatever, I figured it would be MUSH-based or at least MU*-based).
So if you're bored and like Naruto, head on over to
nindou and read some logs! (Small note: Not every single posted scene may be to your taste, but if you're looking for one level of quality of RP over another, they're easily told apart.)
