@L-B-Heuschkel

they never told me the specifics, lol!! I guess I shoulda asked so I could get in on that market, cuz dang

Snackness

@Wizz But that’s not really making money from MUSHing. That’s MUSHing plus even more work.

Wizz

@Snackness

pfffffff fine, you’re technically right

Snackness

@Wizz The best kind of right!

The IRE people turned MUDs into money.

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.

@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.

@Roz

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.

Roz

@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

Buttercup

@Roz

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.

Me, an introvert, trying to play an extrovert.

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

SpaceKhomeini

@Polk That’s me playing characters that don’t drink or curse.

helvetica

@Snackness that’s me playing someone not in charge

Snackness

@helvetica lol same. I’m an introvert but DO WHAT I SAY!

Wizz

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

Ashkuri

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.
