Further RP Stagnation
Just as a public service announcement: August 31st is the US release of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Mid-September is the release of The Sims 2. Mid-November is the release of a Gamecube RPG called Baten Kaitos. January 11th is the US release of Suikoden IV.
I will spend my senior year buried in games.
The main topic:
I'd really like to branch out in RP. I'm currently contained within a circle of people who are always doing the same characters over and over, and I'd like to see some new types. There's nothing wrong with those people or those characters, I love them, but the nth time Neesama played a sarcastic self-possessed tough girl I didn't want to see any more of those, especially since she so subconsciously identified with them that she let them affect her mood and vice versa; I interacted with them every day just talking to her. I know weird people who always play weird characters a lot like them, and sweet people who always play sweet characters, and smart tactful people who always play smart tactful characters... I know one or two RPers who branch out, but in the end, I'm itchy to RP and I'd like to try playing with people I've never played with before, especially since QPQ and The Geranium Society are dying.
Also I'd like to RP with new people, meet and get involved with new friends. I don't talk to my friends from the Internet fandom period of my life anymore, but nobody's yet filled that place, no new friends from the Internet original fiction period. I do have Rachel-san, but she's never around anymore, and even when she was around we hardly ever played anything, like literally once every few weeks. Kinda lonely online these days when the only people I can talk to on a daily basis are Jason about video games we both are playing.
The MUD was almost good at filling that, but in the end it all came down to the cliques I complained about before, and nobody wanted to play with the newbies; they all had their cliques, and they're all so much better, they can't really be bothered to play with you. I was just one among dozens of people on the game at any given point in time, and that wasn't what I wanted.
But it's hard to find what I want, hard to find original-character RP. A fandom RP is an okay substitute, but it doesn't give me much room to find pride in psychoanalysis the way I do with Bailey and Rhys and the other originals. I'd almost like to find another journal game... But decent ones aren't that common.
Where are all the people who create their own characters and like roleplaying with them? Ah, well. *brood*

I suck at playing original characters. ^^;;
