Do you think its worth writing a PK post MONTHS after your persona died?

[erictafoya 3276]

I've gotten a little bit of inspiration after reading @Xarklymost recent PK post (beautifully written btw, check it out here!).

It really got me thinking though. I regret not writing a PK post for one of my favorites, and more than likely, my most well-written persona Leonid. But it's been MONTHS since I PK'd him (to be exact, I PK'd him on May 25th, 2024. Really its closer to a year). As a player I don't think it'd get much traction since most of that persona's friends and even students have since passed on. But as a writer, I can't help but scratch that itch that's been bothering me since I stopped dedicating time to writing. If this were a matter of few weeks, then I wouldn't really be having this issue. But I've been putting this off for almost nine months! So, I ask this to everyone.

Is it worth writing a late PK post?

Personally, I'd style it as more of a "narrative" post rather than a "pk" post if you were to do so, but don't let anything at all hold you back from writing! If you're asking the question at all, that means you absolutely should! Go for it is my opinion - even if it won't gain much attention, writing for the sake of writing is never a bad thing.

yeah if it's fire then why not

As one of the few personas that was there for the PK and is still actively played, I would love to read a PK post of Leo.

Forum RP is generally pretty freeform and laissez-faire, do what you think is best. PK posts are fine, no matter how late

I never wrote one for Aleksandr II

I started twice but scrapped both, I was done with the character before he died thus the motivation wasn't there but that's not to say the character and story didn't happen, and that the time playing him wasn't enjoyed. I feel it's an injustice sometimes that I didn't close the book but I feel whatever I wrote at the time wouldn't have been my best, and even sometimes like a year later I'll get a new idea, or hear a new lyric in a song that sparks it.

honestly though at the end of the day write it for yourself, who cares what you post on the forums, forums are a creative outlet don't worry about maximizing your views or upvotes; pick it up again when you're motivated and drop it when you're bored, come back  when you get inspired and restart if you feel unhappy.

You'll probably get it eventually, and more likely than not you'll probably be left with something you're happy with.

Write what u want to write on the writing server, the real ones will come thru and glaze

[mothsthetic 2250]

i've been thinking about doing the same thing for adalia, honestly. i never wrote a proper PK post for her, there was only ever an announcement of death, but like mio said the time i spent playing her meant a lot to me, and she as a character meant a lot to me. i think it's worth it to reflect on the characters we come to love, no matter how much time has passed. they were part of our stories, if even for a brief time, and should be remembered.

or something, maybe i'm just sleep deprived.

It depends. You should write it because you feel like it will add to the story of that character, not because you "need" to write a PK post. It should feel additive, not just a blanket summary of their life and death

ur right benleft. im gonna write a PK post for a character that died 3 years ago, watch the forums.

If you want to write, write.

You do realize Lord of the Craft is about narratives right? If you want to write one because it (in this case) ties off that narrative with a nice bow, go for it. If you are asking this question because you think people are going to think you are doing it for "clout", I would presume you are old enough to not let the Facebook-like meter (aka reputation counter) get you to spaz out like a crackhead whose seen some booger sugar and I, as a third person outside your mind & unable to know what is going on in your head, shouldn't be pocketwatching whether you are scratching your neck over said booger sugar. Just write.
