Yeah, I love the idea of RP-ing, but most of the fun moments for me happened very sparingly in between lots and lots of filler. You can get that sort of linearity if you and the other writers plan everything out, but that kinda takes away from the appeal for me.

Exactly. It's the spontaneous reactions and back-and-forth that keep me coming back to it. But the sheer amount of filler is what holds me back too. I imagine I'd cut something like 90% of posts I write during revisions because it ends up being irrelevant.

The ideal situation is to have somebody who's basically able to notice every cue that you've dropped and either follow it, or play with it in some way, but I think that's a reasonably unrealistic expectation to have. So I'm basically gonna do my own thing for a little and see if anything promising turns up.
