Just out of curiosity... Would anyone want to RP with me?

OK, this is probably a very stupid thing for me to even be thinking about right now, but I seriously can't focus at the moment and just don't care. XD This could probably go down as one of the biggest bonehead moves I could make right now, but it's eating at my mind and I can't ignore it any more! I keep seeing everyone having so much fun on Tumblr

Nice drawings! I wouldn't worry too much about the myriad variations of characters on tumblr, they all seem to have their own angles, and while you might not be comfortable RPing with some, others might work out just fine. And I doubt that tumblr is pulling people away from the comm. The folks who seem to be spending all their time there appear to me to enjoy the RP aspect, which isn't quite as easy to do here. If anything is responsible for the disappearance of formerly active members, I'd chalk it up to real life (lord knows, mine has been in a tizzy lately), or in some sad cases people losing interest in the fandom and moving on (hence the disappearance of stories from fanfiction.net that has recently been noted). I myself have two different accounts on tumblr, both only a few days old (one a deadly serious blog journaling my efforts to recover from the horrific PTSD I have, thanks to life with my abusive family, the other what will likely become a pretty PG Megamind RP), and if anything about it right now is consuming my time, it's figuring out how to make the danged things work the way I want! Otherwise, I'm still working on writing my fanfic and doing my fanart, when RL obligations and my health allow. Winter is a tough time for me, and I wouldn't be too surprised to find that it's the same for other folks. (But then, I'm the old coot of the comm, what do I know? XD)

Thank you! I'm glad you like them! :D I barely even understand Tumblr myself, so if I were to try to get an account, I think that'd be my biggest hurdle. XD I know everyone has various things pulling them in so many directions, RL and Tumblr only a few of them. Me, I have to admit, I'm supposed to be working on projects for class, but with my hubby gone again, I'm having a very hard time pulling myself out of the depression that's dropped down on my head and making it hard to focus. We all get distracted from time to time... But I have no intentions of ignoring the comm for Tumblr or vice versa. I still want to write, draw, post on here, and do all the things I've grown to love here with you guys. :) You're right about winter being hard for folks too. For me, it's a non-stop roller-coaster of holidays and birthdays that starts before Thanksgiving (actually, before Halloween) and doesn't end until sometime in March (I think... I have a hard time remembering birthdays on my husband's side of the family). December through January are especially crazy for me with Christmas, New Year's, and all of my family's birthdays within a two week span in January save my mother's, she being the only one of us born in October. And of course with cold weather comes illness for many... I'm praying I'll miss my yearly sinus infections, but I know a lot of the folks at college have been sick lately. It's a crazy time of year for all, but at least we know we can always come back here to share our joys and sorrows with you guys -- the best group of people I've ever met! :D
