So as follow-up to my tl;dr on missing FT, I've come to resolution of sorts.
There's no reason I can't explore the fairy tale stuff with my own, separate writing. As for missing the characters, well. After reading Ryan's post about dropping characters, and generally avoiding it so that individual voices were always available to him, I decided that maybe recycling them wouldn't be such a bad thing. I miss writing Vel's voice, and Lil's, so to that end, I am looking forward to scouting out a game where I can use their voices again.
I'm feeling super optimistic about RP, now that I've figured that out and that we've come to a decision about Neopolis. It's sad that it's coming to an end, but it will be SO EPIC. And it has been so epic, so y'know, I can only look forward to it. ♥
