Plots

[Alexander Emerson]

I've had trouble with this in the past but I'd like to know how everyone comes up with ideas for plots and how you keep them alive. I can come up with a plot but sometimes I just let them die and the thread itself dies because it gets boring in the end.

How do you keep your stories alive and glowing?:rollin

I figure out something to bring the story to the close. I usually have a begining and an end. My bigger stories have waypoints in the middle.

I have a big stick that I run around and beat the people who've stopped posting with.

If the storyline is interesting enough, and you have just the right people with you in the RP - it just happens. I've had so many die it isn't funny. Just a fact of life.

Whenever I want to do a major character development thread, or a series of threads with one major end result, I get together all the people I will need for the threads, discuss what I want to do with them and how the threads will run, and then I get going with it.

Yeah. I'm trying to figure out how to keep threads alive. I don't remember having one thread where I actually finished the story. I try having it preplanned in my head but sometimes it doesn't end up the same way I thought it would or the plot happens TOO quickly and the thread becomes too short. ya know?

I've had that happen to me soooo much.

I keep my expectations on other people's replies low, and then when it's interesting and well written I can be pleasently suprised.

If ya want I'm looking to RP with anyone at the mo, I've been in Roleplaying limbo.

Dream. If you can picture yourself in the stories sometimes, then it plays itself in your mind.
