I was really fortunate in that, near the end of my RPing days, I found one really nice site filled with relatively-older players who were also sick to death of the bizarre/inflated/stilted style of other games (or had just skipped that trend entirely). People wrote in English! And you weren't expected to describe every damn thing in flowery prose! Like seriously just write your character's thoughts/actions/dialogue in an interesting, concise way and move on. It was great. The plots were delicious. etc.
Then that site closed and… well, then I started writing Fire Emblem fanfic. probably not a coincidence oops
Anyway, I'm glad you liked reading the progress snippets! They were really quite fun to compile. also psst you should post your own writing improvement meme psst
