It's like midnight here but f.uck it I'm in the mood for it. I don't know if anyone will even care xD
But anyway, as many of you guys have probably noticed, I've basically gone dormant on Wattpad. For a long while now. Yes, I am still alive, so don't worry about that xD
If any of you have ever wondered why, well, here you go. You're welcome, nosy/concerned parties. I've essentially switched to writing fanfic instead of role-playing. And I post like all my stuff on ao3. My Wattpad account is mostly kind of just used as a storage centre for all my stuff because ao3 deletes drafts after a month (thanks for that -_-).
And I don't really anticipate returning to role-playing anytime soon, if I'm being frank. Turns out writing and role-playing often require very different writing styles. Which I found out when I got back into a single roleplay right in the middle of writing my first (albeit massive) fic (that rp was pun's vampire rp, in case you were wondering). And I really struggled with it. I've always had problems with engaging with rps long-term (my apologies to every roleplay I've dropped off midway ) but it was massively exacerbated and I couldn't get to the long replies I'd once been really good at, because you're not meant to write for that long about one character's thoughts and feelings in fic, at least not repeatedly. Plus I hated writing out forms, something that had once been my favourite thing about role-playing. I could barely get through like five replies and that's kind of when it hit me. My writing style has changed a /lot/. And it's really no longer suited to roleplay. At all. And I don't love roleplay nearly as much as I love writing, at least not anymore.
I probably should've posted this a lot earlier but better late than never, right? I'm just really good at procrastinating xD
But yeah, to sum it up, I'm probably leaving role-playing forever.
