Old FIW Where Are You?

I do have to agree with what Mark said. Having opponents RP against each other, rather than just mentioning each other, really opens a door to bigger and better things. It's almost like throwing two wrestlers into a ring and finding out if they have chemistry. If your RPs bounce off each other well and prompt one another to do something better every time, then it usually sparks a feud between two handlers that actually enjoy working against one another.

On another note, sometimes it's really fun to RP against people that AREN'T your opponent. However, I understand the trepidation in that. The rules clearly state that you can't do that with characters that are above yours in the ranks. So it comes down to knowing who's currently someone you can work with and who you can't.

I remember numerous times Mark and I had Ragin' and Kennedy go at it in roleplays and I think they've had two or three matches against one another? And I think only one of those was a singles match. However, the characters were so entwined with one another. You had the Ragin'and Kailey love/lust/hatred angle, the Kennedy and Kailey friendship/enemy angle, the Kennedy and Swytch feud/love angle, and then of course the Ragin'/Swytch wars. So in essence it progressed both our characters, helped progress our storylines, we both had a lot of fun with it, and I know of at least one of those threads that took place at a PPV caught a lot of attention because it became a group thread.

Most of the time, people end up only doing stuff like this with people that they already talk with outside of FIW. And I can understand that because I've done the same thing with Wight, 'Mo, Wiggs, and Min. Those were the main four people I've had big feuds with. However, just recently I took a leap of a faith and started RPing about Adam's character in SLA and thankfully he was interested in working an angle.

Well, the reason I haven't been rp-ing is two- maybe threefold. These are MY reasons and are not up for debate, they simply are what "IS".

1) Family emergency - I was told that I could have a break from rp-ing when my father-in-law had a heart attack a few weeks ago. The family is just now getting things back to normal. I also hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to sit at the comp without a lot of pain. (Better now, thanks.)

2) I have felt for a while now that Kailey doesn't fit the direction that FIW is taking. If the writer doesn't see the point of their character even being there, then the rps don't come. They end up being trite - just bits of black on a white (or gray) background.

I don't like to write her that way - I like Kailey to be a full character, with pain and joy, with real issues, not just "grr I am gonna beat em up!". It may make her seem silly to the males who read FIW, but for me, it is what makes her special and makes her seem like a real person. When everyone else is angrily glaring at a camera grousing about their opponent, I have Kailey on a boat, whale watching.

She isn't just a "face value" kind of creature, she is Kailey, a 20 something girl with happiness, and silliness, and pain, and heartbreak. When I hear that people don't interprete what I write in any way like I meant it... I'll be honest, it hurts... and makes me question why I even take the time. Take the Ragin' and Kailey story that has been going on.. off and on.. for what, 4 years? I have been told that others don't see the Ragin' and Kailey stuff like Mark and I do, it makes me sad and makes me wonder if my writing is even up to par.

It has been good to get this out.. and good to know I am not the only one feeling this way. E-fed therapy... Who knew?!

I actually feel you on that one. I too try to put Drake in an enviroment where he is outside the stock standard surroundings. I actually got so carried away with it that it became a running joke, which is why I try to poke fun at myself in my FIW RPs.

Oh and to add one thing, I don't know if XK is joking or not, but if you aren't quite a shame you've been given a ball that you aren't running with. Prime example of why this "old FIW" that Elrick claims, is gone.

I'm not kidding Matt, though I don't think I'm not running with it, I'm just running with it in my own "Oh god why wont those shiny things go away" kind of way. It's got nothing to do with FIW. XK was just never meant to get past mid carder but hey no body listens when I tell them that, before I joined FIW I actually got in an argument or two with a fed head who didn't understand it, though we had fairly different views on how an efed should be run, too bad it died, I would have got kicked out of it eventually.

Hey don't knock the staring at the camera and ranting, I've done pretty well off the back of that, that and the "bit" that I basically do every week at least once. Though I get what you mean, too much of one thing makes you want to do something else.

Oh and as for the community stuff, yeah that might be a problem but it's everyone else's problem and not mine. I'm not a community type person, outside of my family I basically talk to one person in real life and that's Dan (aka CallMeTA) and online unless I've got a question for someone I basically only talk to Veg, well Veg is the only one I'll randomly open a window and start rambling at. I talk to people when they start the conversation but I'm not dumb enough to trap myself into talking to people.

Don't listen to him. He's constantly IMing me and going on and on like a school girl. Telling me who he has crushes on and who he thinks likes who and, of course, who would make the neatest couples. Sometimes I have to start a cyber pillow fight just get him to stop talking. Come on, you don't think I came up with Jaime without inspiration, do you? That man up there, he's the inspiration. Think of that next time you read a Jaime RP. That is, of course, assuming anyone actually reads them.
