one day!
I told my therapist about it! He was very nice about the whole thing. He was happy that I found my way back into RP. And he was even happier I was recovering during the time, with RP.

Back when I was a minor and I first got into it, my father took it as a sign that I was eventually going to be a writer. (It later happened organically and unsurprisingly writing has become my bread and my butter.) Before I went to RP, I'd fill whole notebooks with stories - ranging from stories set in WWII, to the Tudor era, or just, ramblings about friendships.

When I got back to working and stabilizing as a person (this is a Complicated Time), Rp helped me ease back into having a Life outside of work, especially since I am notorious for being a workaholic. I don't mention it much but when my family goes by, I just say that I'm writing stories and frankly, they got used to it. (Just not the chatting with strangers abt ships part).

I love it when I make close friends who'll remain somehow present in my life. I met one of my closest friends over RP and we don't spend a day without chatting. And I love it when our friendship has gone beyond RP. One of my home sites is a fantasy one, and I linger in the server a lot because we talk about a lot of things under the sun. I also really like it when I interact with dedicated and friendly staff who are mature about community management.

Also getting compelling replies from your RP partners that are SO GOOD you'd reply real quickly!

I love it when I read about compelling characters who've gone a long way in their arc, and haunt the narrative, whether they're dead or alive.

I love it when you get RP partners who are willing to give you the same energy in crafting a compelling narrative that eventually drives the site plot and affects the development of both the world and characters.

Lastly: smut. I love smutting. /fingerguns
