Charloft Check in
Written for Charloft's Monday Check-in survey
1. How often do you use charloft ?
During the 100 drabbles of summer I was either filling out prompts every day or writing drabble for it. Lately I haven’t written so much, but I often read the prompts and answer them in my head (particularly the twosday one), I just don’t often get around to writing them down.
2. How do you use charloft?
I read the prompts and other people’s answers. I think over the prompts even if I don’t answer them.
3. Do you primarily use LJ, Dreamwidth, Tumblr or some other service (which) for your journaling / character journaling?
At the moment I mainly use livejournal, but I am thinking of switching over to dreamwidth because they are a lot more helpful to people with accessibility issues. But please let charloft come with me!
4. What would make you interact more with charloft ?(pick as many as apply):
a) If it were on DW / prompts were crossposted to DW
b) If it were on facebook and/or twitter / crossposted to facebook and/or twitter
d) If I had more free time
e) If there were more prompts that applied to my characters
f) other - please explain
I have visual impairment, and well as slight motor issues that make adapting images hard. I would like it if Wednesday maybe did a double prompt. One asking the artistic ones to find or draw an image of something, but also a prompt asking us to respond to an image.
I would also like to see more incentives for people to interact with each other, and maybe a ficlet or drabble competition once a month to build relationships between members
5. Which day(s) prompts do you enjoy most? Least?
I enjoy reading people’s Monday responses the most and I tend to spend the longest thinking over this one, but I don’t often answer as I fell like I’d be rabbiting on with opinions no one cares about.
I like to answer Twosday and Thursday prompts the most. I used to enjoy doing Sunday but I gave up because hardly anybody interacts even when you reply to their own posts
I’m not a fan of the visual based prompts and I often struggle with Saturday
6. Are you primarily a writer, a roleplayer or both?
I’m a writer, but I do enjoy a little bit of role play when I get the chance
7. Do you have any prompt suggestions / suggestions for our community's future?
Just keep doing what you’re doing and make sure prompts, drabbles in particular, are suitable for characters in a time before technology
