The Darkness Beyond [discussion]

I am a tad leery about handing off the reins because I'd be afraid of my creations being handed off to someone else.

That said, I do not feel I can salvage this. I can't just "come up with a way" to find enthusiasm in stuff. There was a time when writing posts for this game was fun... it is no longer fun. It is tedious. I like coming up with the backstory and "side information" but when it comes to actually writing down the posts and moving the story forward I flounder.

I have to admit, I'm not entirely sure other than a general vague direction where the story is going to go once our characters hit planetside. Not only am I inexperienced with running an RP, but I'm also not knowledgeable enough (or interested enough) in the fields of science fiction or modern military operations. My passions lie with more fantastic settings. Add to that my lack of self-confidence leading me to have the wriggling feeling of doubt in every post I make.

Ultimately the whole reason you should be doing this is for enjoyment, so if it's doing the opposite there's a problem.

The reason I haven't been posting that much at all is for essentially the same reason.

I don't think having only a vague direction is really a problem; unpredictable player decisions usually hampers any attempt at having a set in stone plan anyway.

But if you're not enjoying it you're not enjoying it, and that's that I suppose.

Firock's pretty much summed up my own thoughts.

Thirding that. Also apologising for vanishing — I'm going through some IRL crap right now, have been so for threeish weeks, and I simply can't garner the energy to post.

I maintain confidence in your ability, Thrall.
