So, from what I've put together, this roleplay may have a bit of a dilemma.
Maybe I'm just speaking from personal experience here and this isn't how everybody feels, but perhaps it's how at least some of you feel.
So this RP was geared around a couple things: Joint Posting (huge point-based incentive to do so, not to mention the collaborative nature of the event), and CHRISTMAS.
But the roleplay started ON Christmas. And factoring in how long forum roleplays take to progress, and how long Joint Posts take to write collaboratively, the issue I identify is:
Most of us lose motivation to write about Christmas themed things past the first week of January. And the IC thread seems to agree with me. It could be other reasons, of course...
But, my point with this post was to recommend to the mods that next year, if you'd like another of these events, you could try a theme that is easier to keep going well into February and maybe beyond. Or, be really Christmassy but start the RP in early December.
I hope sharing my thoughts is at least a little helpful. Good luck!
