*sighs in relief* I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been drifting away a little. I think we've all become a little too focussed on producing stuff and lost sight of how much fun it should be.
I like LJ, and knowing what people are up to, but the reason we're all friends in the first place is writing. I was discussing it with Henry a while back, when I first started to scrabble for reading time, and he pointed out that friendships based on reading and commenting are actually very high maintenance, which I'd never really thought about. It's nice to be able to moan about real life, but it seems stupid to have common interests and yet discuss them.
I miss the old character games. I couldn't keep up now, without Elfy access at work, but we seem to be in need of a custard flood or the equivalent.
I'm not sure about time constraints on things like challenges. Okay, if we all write novellas, yes, it's time-consuming. 100-word drabbles, though? 15 minute timed challenges?
I'll have a think. At the moment, I'm just opening things up to discussion.
