When I had to let go of a very close friendship last year, I had a really hard time keeping up my enjoyment and desire to RP my draenei; so much was wrapped up in that friendship.  We plotted together, we discussed stuff OOCly, our characters were close ICly... it was literally like having all the wind removed from my sails and I’ve been sitting in the calm ever since.

In our discussions, Ark suggested that maybe it was time to look at the characters and rethink some of the history I had done for them.  Neither of us are big fans of retcons- it can easily get to the point where story development is meaningless because there’s no sense of permanence.

But at the same time, my sense of direction and purpose has been gone for over a year, and it’s entirely possible that rewriting things a bit can rejuvenate my enjoyment and desire to play these characters and write for them again.

I doubt I will go into much detail on Tumblr; the changes won’t impact anyone but myself, Ark and one other, and I’d rather discuss them out of the public eye.
