Thanks guys! It's been a blast! And here's hoping to see you all again some day.

Characters that will be phased out:
Miles
Monique
Khun
Borues*

I have asked Val to take care of the cougars and Mitch for me. I'm sure they'll do a great job.

Thanks for everything. And take care everyone.

*If need be, Hlaoroo, you may take control of Borues so your characters are NOT stuck in limbo.

Here's hoping you'll return, though it's still sad to see you go under such circumstances. I wish you luck with whatever you may do next.
Love me right now! Done.

Hey all posting here saying that Phanerozuc park has come to a stop.

I was hoping to encourage a few to join in since the rp is still starting out.

And to those who had a character there who is willing to continue there?

Im unsure if Phanerozic parks host is still active but ill happily help out to keep it going.

Pheanerozic park is jurassic park based and dini rp is available.

I'm still around but I... Kind of didn't know how to do it. I'd prefer to start it at the actual start of the muffins and cookies thing. Also, I'd like to remove the one who decided to be a dinosaur...

I got a facebook page where I put all of the ENG-to-ITA translations of several webcomics: Housepets! The A&H Club, The Storyboard, Freefall, Savestate, Simon & Freddy (on hiatus), The Not-so-Dynamic Duo (fancomic), The Highest Bet. As of January, I added to the list Forest Tail and Twokinds. So I'm nicely busy everyday while working to catch up with these two.

No, I mean the one-shot panels Rick posts on his own site from time to time. Wrong of me to call it 'comic', sorry.

Hello everyone. I know I haven't been around, and for once I really don't have a good explanation. It's just...I've lost a bit of my passion for this. I don't want to quit, but every time I go to write, nothing comes. Anyone got any advice for dealing with this?

Don't over think it, Weird. That can be deadly. Think basically of what you want to say and just type. Let the words find themselves.

I know the feeling. Sometimes a break helps. Perhaps you could try inventing some new characters and trying again with them? Asking for help or ideas like you've just done is a great way to get inspired again too. I often like to daydream about my characters in different situations and sometimes some of that makes it into the RPs too So you could try something like that too.

I hope you can find your passion again soon!

If not though, please don't feel pressured to stay here if you don't want to. Forcing yourself to do something you don't want to be doing is a great way to end up depressed. I know from experience.

I find listening to music helps. instrumental pieces, not songs.

when I get writer's block, I give it a couple days to thinkof something. when that doesn't work I force myself to make at least some small post, hoping that whoever i'm playing with will help me get inspired next time.
when I'm really stuck, I discuss options with whoever is waiting on me, come up with something our characters can do that'll give me a clear way to progress or that'll inspire me.

As trainers, I believe. It's called Pokepets and you can read it in the inactive RPs forum if you like. ^^

The only thing that really irritated me about that cartoon was how stupid Meowth was. He never seemed to recognise that he could make an absolute fortune by just acting as interpreter between humans and Pokemon.

yeah, but i figure trying to steal an over-leveled pikachu is less boring than singlehandedly bankrolling all of team rockets operations for the foreseeable future and then some.
