I want--
No.
I need more space in which to be my fictive selves, without fear that I'll have to one-to-one mesh the orthocosm onto any particular paracosm or syncosm.
I'm confused at the parsing of this, but I think you're saying: you want to interact within your own stories, not anyone else's?
@emanate Not exactly.
I do a ton of creative work. I only externalize a small fraction of it because storycraft is hard. Embodying characters -- other selves -- is easy, but finding spaces outside of MUCKs to do that is difficult, and MUCKs have an expectation of synchronicity that I can't meet at my day job. I'd make character-based Masto accounts, but there's always the risk of the orthocosm demanding it be analyzed through one or more character lenses, and sometimes I don't want to do that.
@emanate I have no end of stray thought suited to Jules or Taneh or Valentin or any number of headmates, but no real place to _put_ those thoughts at present because they're not big enough to encompass in a story and the standard model of in-character interactions assumes that I'm able to stay focused on those thoughts and devote constant blocks of time to manage. I'm looking for something more like a forum with an expectation of continuity but high potential latency.
@emanate I'm not going to put a limit on how others want to interact with those thoughts, or even assume others would choose to do so at all. It's more that I have this ongoing sense that I have thoughts that are going to _spill_ if I don't put them somewhere, but right now I don't feel like I have anywhere to put them.
@literorrery Mmm, understood, it's a hard thing to solve. I understand.
@literorrery And...yeah. If there /was/ a place to interact in-character in an extended setting, but in asynchronous fashion, I would use it too.
