An appology, introduction, new beginning? · 10:22pm Oct 1st, 2015
Ah, I really don't know.
So first off, I'll make this part quick. I'm not dead yet, still out there and kicking. And this immediately segways into the appology part.
First - an appology to the friends I made here, if they still consider me as such. I've been gone for a long time, keeping in contact with... Oh. I still occasionally talk with two persons here I guess. That's really a bit less than I even anticipated, but... oh well. I wanted to appologize for having been, and still being, a terrible friend. I've been having a hard time keeping up with things (Since I was gone for what, over a year now, one of my last blog posts was about my seventeenth birthday, er... that's almost two years ago now... well anyways, you can imagine how bad exactly it was. I cut contact to most people I ever knew.) and people, but that doesn't appologize me completely vanishing without warning and just... being gone, as a friend. I should have been around, I wasn't, and that's inexcusable. I can't say I promise it will never happen again, as I can't say it was the first time something like that has ever happened either, but if any of you are still active on this site and want to give me a second chance I'd gladly take it.
I guess a minor appology to people who actually liked my writing since I deleted all stories and blogs affiliated with this account.
As for the introduction - I've been gone so long, everybody I know is different, and I have changed too. I guess that's to be expected in the course of almost 2 years.
I'll make the new beginning part quick too.
I am debating wether I'll just keep this account or perhaps make a new one. I kind of want to make a new one and link it so that people that still follow me and want to furtherly do so and haven't just completely forgotten about me can keep doing so, but... I guess I could just stick with this account. I just don't know if I want to. I don't truly associate with this account anymore
Another reason is that I might try writing every once in a while as a reminder of the old times. I truly miss the friends I lost and the people I literally haven't heard from in over a year. I don't know what's become of anybody and I don't know how something like this could happen, though as I mentioned before, I would not be surprised if it happened again. I don't know. Writing always reminded me of them, especially of the old author support group (while that one still exists I wouldn't even know if the users' accounts are still active), so I guess just actively doing it again once in a while... would kind of make it come full circle?
That said, I can't pretend that I have any idea what's going on with Mlp right now. I don't know if a fourth or even fifth season has started, I don't know the end of the third or can at the very least not remember it and just... yeah if I write I guess it truly just would be for fun, I don't particulary have any affinity for mlp as of now.
Anyways, I guess... I suppose that's all I wanted to say. I don't know. I don't know if anybody will even see this, blogs show up in the feed, right? And I can, at least for myself, say that my feed somewhen got so full that I only ever ignored it.
Still - if anybody can 'forgive' me or wants to get to re-know me... I guess here I am. Hi. I'll try to check fimfiction more frequently again and yeah if anybody wants to talk, I'd honestly be more than happy to see some familiar faces in the comments of this, though if there won't be any comments - eh, I can get that too. I don't even know if I truly sound honest or anything, so ensuring that I am won't be of any use either.
Regardless, if you've read this (well I guess also if you haven't), I bid you a nice day or evening. I hope you've had a good last year and that nice things will be coming your way in future.
*Returned Huggie* Welcome back!

Hue. Steampunk now, eh? Fits you, to be honest.
*hugs*

Yes, I got influenced by the whole steampunk genre lately. I found it fascinating what the world would have been if it ran on gears, steam and bolts.

I have read your whole blog now through. It is quite moving. It's a sad thing now that the past has vanished in a puff of smoke. I too, seem to have lost all contact with almost everyone here and the whole MLP thing after season 4 something. By the way, I think the Author Support group have changed much with new people.
(But I am trying to catch up on those through by watching episodes and getting updated on latest news on Equestria daily.)
Hmm... I'd add more on this discussion later, :P
*huggies*
Ah, I remember you saying that you'd think of germany as rather steampunk-esque ;P
Yes, but such is the way of things, I fear. It's good that there's new people though, if there only were the old, then the group wouldn't survive.

Yup. At the time I was doing research on the Aethercircus Steampunk Festival, which held in Berlin. Costume designs were simply stunning :3. The steampunk genre roots hasn't got hold in Asia region, through.
I haven't gotten to know the new people there through - To me, it's like not the 'same' anymore... One of the few reasons I joined there was to improve my story writing skills but after I 'lost the touch', it's hard to have something in common with the group anymore. (Also my RPing chances died along with that -.-)
Do you still keep in contact with anyone here other than me and Cobalt?
MLP is just a collection of stories that may not be linked to each other; however the core characters remain the same. Twilight will always be Twilight... Rainbow will always be Rainbow. But it is always interesting to note how the characters interact in different situations.

That makes a lot of sense. At the time, it was somewhat detached, heh. But hey, just bring steampunk to asia yourself
I know that problem, but yeah. Then again I suppose rping here died with the ban of rp. With all said and done however I can very much so get why it was banned, heh.
Not really, sadly. Once in a blue moon I send or receive a message to or from someone I once knew well
I would guess so. I just lost interest in it overall I suppose. Interests come and go all the time afterall

That would be hard doing by myself. There's little demand for it. Most people would rather be interested in other fandom like the furry fandom or the anime fandom, rather than being decked out in gears. (Just like there would rarely be a 'brony-con' here.) Steam punk is best celebrated in Europe.
Roleplaying was banned because it interfered with the site interests, which centered only on story telling. (And Knightly could do whatever he wants with his site anyways.) Still, most of the RP hard core folks had already left, start anew and then crashed out in the new site due to differences in opinion.
There's no one else left I'm afraid. No one remembers...
I'm still interested in the MLP fandom and the RP stuff, but significantly lesser than it was when I first joined this site.
Hm, I'm unsure of that, we barely have it around here too, I'm afraid. Seems like every continent only hears about it from other continents
Well, the main reason was that it interfered with the servers, really. As roleplaying is rather quick paced, in comparison with a lot of other forum uses, it slowly made the servers falter as they were not set up for the work load they were provided. I'd guess that this site's servers are specialized on saving large chunks of text, not on notifying people rapidly. But yes, most people just left the site. Wonder if they ever found a good alternative.
Ah they remember, people just move on, and such is life - I was surprised to see as many still semi active here as I did.
I can imagine. Same goes for me, I suppose. While I still like rping, I don't do it particulary often and usually as part of other things and not mlp related.

Probably depends on the musical company and how much they promote stuff. Every continent then proceeds to play copy cat and copy one another, hahaha.
The die hard core people would create other fan sites for role-playing, just like we once did. The only problem is how to make them interesting and able to sustain for a long time without getting bored.
By many, do you mean people in your 'follow' or 'following' list?
What do you RP as nowadays?
Hope to hear from you soon :)

I suppose so
Ah, I think the largest downfall of rp was shipping.
I mean I checked when the people I once knew from here were last online and was surprised it's not been above 50 weeks for as many as it was :P
Eh, I don't really do it often, when I do it depends. Usually a situational thing.

I'm not sure if Shipping is the sole contributor to an RP's downfall, but I do know that lack of innovation and creativity have created boredom in the RP universe. Failure to improvise makes characters dull and ultimately not worth playing anymore. But if there's a solid plan, good GM and players (which are able to compromise for the good of all.) , an RP can go for a long time. Examples include: A quest result the protagonists have to achieve or some major milestone not easily completed in one day. Background settings include war, the city, etc etc or even traveling from places to places to discover a prophecy. You will need a GM with lots of RP or D & D real life experience, specializing in long RPs. I remember Brony Master talking of some dice game thingy for the old Chaos RP. but it never materialized.
Most people usually log in back to read a few stories and log off. Sometimes they write as they reminisce about the past. They won't completely leave the site, but they became more inactive as time goes on. Which was why I wasn't surprised they hadn't left here.
What do you mean by 'a situational thing'? :P
3461151
That's what I mean - people concentrate too much on shipping and it's over with.
I suppose that's true for myself too, heh.
Just depends. I don't pursue it actively or do it often, I just sometimes do it when there's the opportunity.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong about being all lovely and the occasional sex, but there has to be some story line to it.
We all commit the same mistakes I guess.
Do you go to other sites to RP?
