Character Development Thread--Discussion

Nah, it's fine. Accommodation of other participants, especially newcomers, is a part of making the CDTs work. And, as nrjxll says, your posts have been perfectly all right.

Plus, Oswald doesn't tend to say much that he doesn't honestly mean.

Oh yeah, and I'm not responding in Inn right now 'cause I'm waiting for Killer Clowns.

I'll be busy for most of tomorrow, and possibly most of Friday. I'll try to post over the weekend.

Ryuhza, where is Iris?

Still at the beach. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with her after she was done talking to Daird's characters, but that kind of petered out, so... I'm still not sure.

I was primarily wondering because I'm considering having a spaceship land on the beach.

All right, well unless I think of something else before that happens, she'll be around the docks.

Oh, yeah, I'm probably not going to post for Archipelago until tomorrow night- it's the big Calc II exam; gotta get an 80 on it if I want to keep my B in the class, so... yeah. (Snowy, you can go ahead and post for the West Parlor and/or Boreas Entry Hall if you want.)

You still with us, Yomegami?

I'm still here. Just very braindead as far as Saya goes, and I'm also waiting on KC for the observatory.

I believe we were both waiting on you, since the last observatory post was Adrian trying to pry one of the crystals on the shelf off.

EDIT: Link to the post in question.

What said.

I apologize for my lateness, I'm out of town with no internet. I'll try to respond soon.

And posted. Sorry for taking so long; while I'm getting better with each passing day, that thing that was troubling me earlier still is.

I know I promised a post last night; I was really, really tired.

By the way, the Calc II exam went awesome.

I'm feeling slightly concerned about Inn right now. Archipelago too, to be honest, but at least there there's still activity.

I'm waiting on Killer Clowns for Inn, but if he's got nothing to post, then I could post. It is a bit slow though...

I'm not sure what to post in Archipelago just yet.

Well, if we're concerned about slow posting, there's one way to really shake things up: new thread. Seems to me that these have both hit a rather respectable number of posts anyway, particularly archipelago. Don't have any ideas as to what to theme the next thread around, though.

The idea has crossed my mind, but I'm not sure either of the current threads are in that unhealthy a state yet.

Always good to have a new thread prepared and ready. Archipelago is now 300 days old, so we should really start to discuss a new thread now instead of later when it 'finally' () dies.

Deepest apologies for not having posted for Inn, it's officially Misery Month for me and I'm not operating at my optimal performance.

I'm getting some useful development out of Archipelago, but, yeah, with Castle Boreas being the only consistently active area and there being only 8-9 writers left, the thread's certainly cooling off.

Is anyone else getting something out of Archipelago, like at any point since the timeskip? I mean this as a genuine question. I of course would like it if it kept going, but not if everyone else is tired of it.

Absolutely.

I'd like to see Archipelago live for a little while longer, at least.

Contrary to everyone else, Archipelago has outlived its usefulness for me. All I'm learning right now is that Saya needed some more out-of-thread work done before bringing her in because I keep getting stuck on what to say for her.

So the sooner one thread or the other dies the better, I think. I'm ready for a new one.

I've been kicking around an idea for the next thread for a while, but I'll post about that once I'm not restricted to a smartphone for internet access.

I've had quite a few thoughts about the future of the threads, but honestly, I'm not sure I agree with the idea that we should discuss them now so that we can be ready when the current threads die. There's been more than one instance in the past where discussing a new thread got people all excited about it and caused them to lose interest in the current thread(s). Given that there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest anyway, I kind of want to avoid that happening. I'm not sure whether I want to join Archipelago after all, since the idea I've had for it is ultimately tangential to my real story, but I'm still getting a lot out of Inn.

I've felt the same way about many threads before, which tends to be why I don't participate a whole lot in the discussion of new threads.
