I don't even know where to start, so I guess I'll just write things as they come to me, and worry about structure later.
I've been seriously bummed out over this plot since the first few days of it. I think more so than the other mods as this particular plot was my wacky brain child since six or so months back, and I've been eager to work it into the game on a few occasions, but we ended pushing it back for among other things the sake of pacing.
So, when we finally got planning, I of course got excited and wanted everyone else to get as excited as I was, and I'm still not sure I succeeded in anything I set out to do. We plotted in the plotting post, as we always do, and then the plot started and...it never seemed to me to get going until the day before The End of it. The plot was supposed to run between March 1-8, one week, keep it nice and tight, but I don't know where it went off the rails.
Half the posts the first four days were made by either the mod account or characters played by mods. Almost half of the total posts between March 1-8 came on March 6 or 7.
I love rping with Dien and Keri, as my gushing comment of wub down below no doubt illustrates, but I keep saying it again and again: I want CR with every player. Not necessarily with all characters, as that could get a bit difficult to keep up with, but I seriously want CR from everyone.
I had this idea in my head that people would be tagging each other left and right and inserting their characters into other characters' nightmares to their hearts' content, but both during the plot and after the extension and now that it's over, I feel like it ended in one big whopping anticlimax.
I don't know if it's hindsight that's fooling me, but I have this mental image of the fairytale plot being super busy and fun and like I described above, everyone tagging each other left and right. I wanted the same vibe for this plot, just with a nastier edge. I don't feel it. I love the tags I got for my posts, I really enjoy the CR I've had so far during it, but I'm just not feeling it right now.
So what I'm asking for specifically, since as I said, the Haunted Holo thing was my idea originally, is what didn't work for you.
To players: Haunted Holo: What went wrong?
