So here's the thing, I've been getting hit pretty hard with school and work lately, so I've been a bit behind on my Roleplaying. I've recently managed to find the time to hop back into the fray, so once I'm good and caught up I could bring this Roleplay to light if the interest is there.
So my idea is that we do episodic type stories, little story arcs if you will. I'm not saying we'd speed through stories per se, but once we finish an arc, we can all feel accomplished for actually finishing a little self contained story within the Roleplay.
I pictured this being set in a similar universe to Cowboy Bebop (CB knowledge is not required, we would use original characters and stories within the universe). So say we were bounty hunters living in our own ship. One story arc might cover a bounty we are after. Another may focus on the story of one of our characters while the rest of us are along for the ride. Heck, if somebody decided they had an idea for a really good bad guy and wanted to play the bounty for an arc, then by all means. There are tons of possibilities.
Next, not everybody has to be involved in the same arcs. Say one other person and I decide to take on the bounty for a new story, 3 other Roleplayers could choose not to take part in it if they wish (this could be due to time constraints in real life, or if too many people are already on that job). Anybody not in that story arc could feel free to come up with a new one that they and other Roleplayers could feel free to take part in. So basically, out ship could act as our hub where we can all meet and converse about our different stories of the hunt, but we need not all be in the same place all the time.
The inspiration for this really comes from the fact that I know we all get busy. With this type of Roleplay, we could honestly finish up an arc we are involved in and if things in real life start to come up, we can just opt out for a while. If you miss 3 or 4 weeks before your schedule frees up and you feel intimidated playing story catch up, then it won't be so bad. You would only really need to catch up on stories you were involved in, and if you weren't in any then you can just bounce back in the next arc.
Anybody have any thoughts, questions, or suggestions? My heart is really in this one guys, so please give some feedback and let me know if you are interested so we can get this ball rolling.
