I posted this in the Questions section, but realized it would be better suited here.
I've recently taken to streaming as a passive exploration of creativity when I'm not at work. I stream digital art, video games, and a podcast. I don't have any specific goals other than to enjoy the arts and other people who want to explore them.
The other day I was talking to an old RP friend (who writes Adiemus Matango on a couple sites, if you're familiar) and wondering if it wouldn't be fun to stream the story writing we do on sites like this. People already stream DnD and other kinds of writing, so I figured there must be an audience out there some where.
It's been a couple years since I last wrote in RP, and I miss those old days of sitting at the computer for hours on end, waiting for my turn to post again (especially when there's a big battle going on! XD). This is a lot easier for me these days because I work nights now.
The format I'm imaging would be to read (with fun characterization of course) the posts ahead of mine, before writing my own in response and discussing my writing process along the way.
Of course, I don't want to expose anyone's writing online without their permission, hence why I'm here. It would be fun to share the stories I have written and seen written in this community, and interact with people new to the medium through streaming, as well as share a sort of oral history of the RP communities I've been a part of since the old 2007 days of JvS on Facebook.
Anyone who's interested is more than welcome to post and let me know, or even join in on the stream! If people would rather not have their work exposed in that way, I'll likely just stream my own posting process and a summary of what I'm responding to.
I'm most interested in writing my old mains Ali Hadrix and Alena Reckar, leaders of CSAF, the Civilian Security and Assistance Force, which is basically a mercenary group that uses donations from philanthropists in the galaxy to help the poor and the downtrodden. They do everything from fight tyrannical warlords to helping improve crop yields. XD
Cheers and beers,
