Multiple Settings The Opposite of Writer's Block

I'm sure you're familiar with term commonly referred to as writer's block. It's when you try to force a creative thought to form when you lack the metaphorical "creative juices" to do so, so you either write meaningless paragraphs that don't go anywhere or nothing at all. Frankly it's a bothersome feeling, but what if you reversed the concept while keeping that negative, halting sentiment. Suddenly you're flush with ideas, lots of stories and characters that could honestly go anywhere. There is no limit to how much you can put on the page, but it just doesn't line up. Roleplay sessions that you post stagnate and aren't given much attention, or have a short run before something or other grinds the entire process to a crawl.

I've been stuck in this repeating cycle for months now. I'll write down something I deem as interesting, or maybe just fun to play around within, and I rework it from raw story into something more digestible for participants. But they just won't bite, or don't go "all in" like with other roleplays.

Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, or not hooking them in the right ways, but I figure there's some reason why. I just can't see it very clearly.

For now, however, I'm just stuck with fantasy cravings and twitchy keyboard-trigger fingers. If you're interested in maybe making a short piece of fiction or something more long term, feel free to post or move on to something else. This is really just me putting my thoughts on the internet for everyone to see.​
 
This definitely how I feel a lot! Feel free to message me and we can figure something out. Love a good fantasy story with lots of character building, detailed plots etc!
 
I'm definitely interested. I was possibly wondering if you would be also interested in a trio roleplay of sort. Me and my buddy are looking for another roleplayer to get into a fantasy type of plot. We've haven't roleplayed in a minute because of lack of inspiration and writing block and currently tryna climb away from it! I would've message but I'm still waiting for it to approve me. Hope you're interested!
 
Preaching, bub. Got plenty of ideas... but nobody that wants to try anything (even worse when you post a story... and I've gotten two and three word feedback. Had plenty of people 'following'... but actual, helpful feedback has been more scarce than a blind man finding water in the desert).​
