          I mean…someone told me once that they actually make something like 2k a month writing and selling smut novellas and they got all their practice and inspiration for it from the hobby, soooo…

          I used to have my pride but…at this point I wouldn’t sneeze at an extra 2k >_>

          I know someone who makes half a mortgage payment on selling smut on Amazon. She’s actually good at what she does.

          To be fair, that’s half a mortgage payment in the Seattle metro so that’s really goddamn good.

          I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
          I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
          I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

            @Wizz I’ve tried, but for some reason I can’t just finish a book. Even a short one of like 30k words. My brain just goes: “Brrrr.” And stops before a satisfying end to the plotline. 😐

            And I can’t make myself do an Adrian Blue style career though I’d probably make a lot of money if I could.

              I wish I could just get over whatever barrier in my brain makes me give up before I’m finished with something and just do it. But my brain just won’t let me 😐

              It is a highly frustrating part of myself, because I know that I could make decent money writing if I could just do the writing.

                I don’t think so?

                It may have been someone I RP’ed with. But it would be cool to know if there was a scandal I was involved in I didn’t know about.

                So I am guessing it was the person I was in the scene with. I have never edited a TS involved scene and posted one.

                Mind you this doesn’t really bother me now but /I/ would never post a log like that. I am way too self conscious about my writing and It may be the poster asked me if I cared and edited log went up and I said I didn’t mind. But yeah if this was a me thing I didn’t post the log.

                  @Buttercup I did have a couple other folks who also remembered confirm my memory that it was on a Thomas log. But obviously it’s not visible to the public eye either way who wrote the OOC note!

                  Anyways I wouldn’t call it a SCANDAL. Just funny!

                    relatable content for sure, lol. sometimes I wince thinking about the literally hundreds of unfinished bits and pieces that might have been maybe something, moldering away on old drives I can’t access anymore 😭

                      That was definitely my bit. And yeah, the child was part of their story.

                      And so, I’m guessing my RP partner posted it and while I don’t remember it, I’m sure I gave her player permission or said I don’t care. I would assume such because that player has always been honest and permission seeking with me over a couple of games.

                      Sorry.

                      Although I would question someone who requested the full log, I hope that didn’t happen lol. I wouldn’t personally post my smut nor find it appealing to do so but I don’t care enough to get sideways about it either.

                            @Snackness That’s me playing characters that drink and curse. It takes effort and I very often just forget. 🙂

                                    I’ve always been convinced people can hear me internally screaming behind the keyboard anytime my character does anything forward or outgoing, looool

                                      I wish people would just ask for rp

                                      “I don’t know if people want to rp with me” Ask.
                                      “There are no open scenes on this Ares game” Ask if anyone wants to start one.
                                      “I’m always the one that asks” Good. Continue asking.
                                      “I’m bored” Ask if anybody would like to do something.
                                      “This person said we should connect but they didn’t set it up.” ASK THEM.
                                      “I have an idea but I don’t know if anyone will like it.” ASK ASK ASK CMON NOW.

                                      This whole hobby only functions when enough people are willing to ask each other to rp that something happens ever

                                      ASK THEM.

                                        As someone who is often an asker I’ve got to say that it is unsuccessful a soft majority of the time. Not because people are mean, and there’s the usual about of just timing and stuff–but a lot of times I think people get hung up on feeling they don’t have anything to contribute/they’re rusty/shy/whatever. I 100 percent understand and hope its not because my RP sucks or people think I’m uninteresting!

                                        But I would encourage people to accept invitations given too. I am an extroverted person by nature but it still really gets me down to regularly hear crickets. I think if someone is putting themselves out there especially if its a personal invite then its nice to maybe take a chance and accept especially if its a general reluctance rather than the specific person who’s inviting you! It is hard to ask for RP and I feel a lot of empathy for people who really just can’t. But just because someone is more equipped to do the asking doesn’t mean that a lot of turndown or just silence isn’t also awkward.

                                        And especially on ares games where channel convos hang around for a long time I think its really intimidating when you know the LFRP channel is going to preserve all the 5 times in a row you’ve asked for RP and got no response! I personally think it intimidates shyer people from asking. This is just a systems thing and nobody’s fault.

                                        These days that I tend to take male PCs I also try not to ping female pcs frequently bc I as a female player have had male presenting folks sliding into pages in a way that made me feel uncomfortable and I sooooo don’t want to make anyone else feel that way.

                                        That being said I’m playing on an ares place and I love including people!
