(01:59:08) Pjeil: (whispers) Indeed. By the way, your enthusiasm for Miz is infectious.
I thoroughly enjoy what you write.

Okay, you've all seen the chat quotes. Bits like the lines above cut and pasted for your viewing pleasure. Well, this blog entry is not for the two or three dozen regulars that the place seems to have. (Though they are welcome to read along.)
Rather, this entry is for those of you who haven't come by the chat room and had a recent look and listen. This site has had 13,578 characters, and even assuming an average of three and four alts per person, or user accounts, or people who joined, made one post and then vanished--- we are still talking almost 13,573 or even 13,574 people. (My math may be off a bit.) So that means that there are at least a good dozen or two unique people who haven't been in chat but might enjoy and benefit from it.
I do understand that this is a site about writing. Writing and playing the role of a character, so it's a bit like LARP acting except behind a keyboard. And therefore some people don't want to bother with chat or videos or blogs or scrapbooks; they are just here to post for Character X and then go back to whatever they were doing before that, be it playing Candy Crush Saga or Pipes/Bridges or Clash of Tribes. Or work or school or life itself, be it dinner, movies, dancing and so forth.
And that's great. Everyone should participate the way they desire. This is after all entertainment, a pastime, and no one can dictate to you how you should have fun. Some will join for a day, some will join for a month, some will last a year or two, moderate or grade threads before moving on, and some will join and stay.
When people go off to do other things either because this place wasn't their cup of tea or because other pursuits caught...
