I've become rather disillusioned whenever I try to write on the boards. I think Swfans has evolved in a great way and that character development and interaction being the corner stone of the story telling is the mature evolution of RP writing. For me personally though, character interaction and story telling come as results to major events and changes to the universe. There's not a whole lot of that going on. So for me the living space feels static and dry.

You’re limiting yourself. You can definitely find the right pivot that you need to tell a story, even in a Cold War setting.

i think he has a point though, up to a point, at least
change does drive character development, and we could perhaps benefit from a bit more of a driving narrative collectively. something we could all feel we have a stake in.
perhaps we might want to consider a joint effort that drives us ahead, or to the side, or whatever direction you want to go in. it doesn't have to be something that tips the scales dramatically, but an event which affects significant enough change, driving character development, all the while being something we can say we achieved together
i'm not for one second suggesting a big thread
they almost always stutter to a halt
but a collection of threads perhaps? focused around a - to coin a star wars term - a single episode of the story, that everyone can play a part in (well, whatever character someone wishes to submit to it)
i'm not suggesting this as an alternative to the challenge already planned, but merely something for us to consider, and potentially work towards together

I would like to subscribe to Droo's brochure.
I like the idea of episodic content that drives a narrative arc toward ...something. It presses my buttons in the gooiest of fashions.
