Ohh, I see. I wonder why they made it so that you had to use Facebook or Google+ to sign up.

I have no idea, but I really don't like it. I
I guess I could always make an alternate Facebook account or something with a fake name, but that seems like an awful lot of work considering I'd only use it once, lol.
Edit: you can also use Twitter, apparently.

Ugh. All platforms where people generally use their real names.

I've always avoided using my real name online though, so even though I have Facebook and Google+ (but not twitter) neither are under my own name.

Exactly! That's why I don't want to try and go back, it's too much bother to make a fake account and I don't know why they partnered with this Vidya thing to force that in the first place.

That's smart! You can never be too careful these days.

Regarding role-plays, I also never had much success with multi-people RPs. Usually we’d start out doing some stuff to establish our characters and then it would lose steam and die by the time everyone crossed each other’s paths and were ready to actually get the story going. Even my 1x1 RPs never lasted long since eventually someone would get busy and then we’d enter a “hiatus” that never ended.

But I had a lot of fun making up stories with my friends IRL during HS and more recently doing a Skype-based DnD-style RP game. They also eventually ended because people went their separate ways IRL but it felt like we actually got stuff accomplished since it required everyone involved to be active in real time.

I think I had a few accounts here and there on other small avi websites but I was never active on them. Once I left Mene I shifted mostly to Reddit and Discord.

That's exactly what happened with the multi-roleplays I joined! Everyone makes a post or two and suddenly things just die.

I hope one of these days I'll be able to get into DnD; no one I know plays it but I've heard a lot of good things about it.

I mostly stick to tumblr and Ao3 and Webtoon these days. Makes me miss chatting with others on a forum like on Mene.

I have an AO3 account but I've never posted anything there. Might start soon though.
As for tumblr...I miss that place but haven't gone back for years.

I've had an Ao3 account for a while though I only posted a few stories there...my writing isn't very good so I mostly stick to bookmarking a ton of stories that I've read and liked.

Tumblr can be a messy place. I've been trying to find more interesting pages to follow but haven't had much luck.

Aww. What fandoms do you read stories from, then?

What kinds of stuff do you follow on Tumblr? I remember following lots of Harry Potter blogs and some that posted, like aesthetically pleasing pictures, haha.

Oh so many. Basically any fandom I'm in, I'm likely to read fanfics about them. I've got Harry Potter, MCU, Boku no Hero Academia, Final Fantasy VII, Star Wars, Naruto, ...amongst many more fandoms.

I've got a few art blogs that I follow, and some that mostly post screenshots or pictures from certain fandoms...I'm trying to find more that are about funny stuff, Skyrim, or some other fandoms I'm in, but those pages usually also do a lot of shitposting that I don't find interesting or too many feminazi-anti-men-anti-white-anti-straight-anti-trump posts mixed in between that I'm sick of. There's an undercurrent of deep seething hatred from them and I don't like those vibes.

Soooo...I have trouble finding new blogs to follow. ;;

That's a lot of fandoms! I feel like I'm mainly just in Harry Potter although I want to read more fics about musicals/plays. There's just not as much written for those.


Oooof, yeah, that just sounds nasty and toxic. Don't blame you for not wanting to see that sort of thing.

Yeah, most fanfics are based off of movies or anime. There are also a bunch of fanfics on real people, but I find them creepy and invasive so I tend to avoid those when possible.

Yeah there are a lot of rabbit holes on tumblr, it's kind of fascinatingly horrifying how twisted some of those people have gotten in their views and belief that they are Absolutely Right and if You Disagree You are Wrong and Sick and Deserve to Die.

My old goals were to own one of every item on mene. I got most of the way there and then left for a long time.

Not especially. I didn't include commons in that.
I think my true downfall was the item list stopped getting updated and I lost track of what I had.

I can't remember when that was. But basically yes all rares. But many became so unobtainable it was an impossible goal.

Yeah, I can imagine. With less and less people buying, the items just become rarer and rarer.
