stressed, depressed, and probably not well-dressed
Hi there,
I do want to stress that I do believe and second a lot of Kuroya's opinions on this. There is a slump going on and it's not just you. Everyone feels this and there's definitely not a exact solution. Whether it's the plague outside, general disinterest in forum rp, or what have you - there's going to be things you're not going to be able to fix no matter how you try.
First of all, Kingdom Hearts is intimidating. My husband I believe was once on your site before we met and he loves Kingdom Hearts. I've sat down and watched most of his gameplay. I still have literally no idea what's going on. I genuinely just like seeing some characters because I'm a genuine idiot. If you want to bring in non-mainliners you have to have a good cohesive plot and strong foundation that has the general gist. If you want mainliners, well, you need a still cohesive plot.
This is going to be my recommendation purely based off introductory threads/structures and I could be missing information- so I'm sorry if this is kinda wonky.
On your site, I could only find a plot snippet- which doesn't really entail anything. Which good, cool, vague plots are fun - but it doesn't really explain anything for me to go on or what the setting is, or how an original or canon is supposed to go on. Me, a idiot, would stop there. There's not much if anything for me to explore or theorize. The rules also lead me to question how apps are done, how original characters are treated, how keyblades work, what technically constitutes neutral from evil (I saw that a lot of org 13 was staff handled so how to villains even work?), and I didn't even find a canon list until the world census - which threw me through a loop since it was only then that I realized what was taken and what wasn't.
This is obviously just from me puttering about in 4-5 minutes.
The confusion would put me off, because nothing really is clearly stated on how or why or what. I think the skin is decent- but I would definitely look into the structure of the board and what you want to put in front of people first. Maybe a newbie guide or a guide on what threads to look through first, or something like that?
I'm not sure if this helps - but I wish you all the best of luck.
