Why do you guys stick around?

[astrivid]

Cherubplay can be...well lets face it: Terrible. The community is aggressive, nit picky, and can be flat out rude. Sometimes the site can feel like a cesspool of gross problematic prompts and bed starfish, but there's a reason we all stick around.

For me it's getting a good partner, the shining star wading though the mountains of trash. Someone who is enthusiastic about the world I've built and contributes to it. Or the amazing day where both of us are active and just shooting out response after response.

I actually enjoy cherubplay a lot! I love the concept. The community isn't perfect, but I met some great peeps through it!

That, and also I have no idea where else I'd rp otherwise. msparp? Nah, I can't get my multiparas there.

I really love Cherubplay. I click really well with the style and layout. Plus, I met my very best friend on cherubplay and I know a lot of other, really great people on there. I also don't think that I could abandon my chats. Rping is a great creative outlet for me. Too many good things about it for me to leave.

MEET ME IN THE PIT

To get back on task, I love the air of not needing to respond immediately, as somebody who takes forever and a day to respond, as well as the opportunity to get so much variety out of a single prompt! (Or... 70+... as the case may be.) Even the unpleasant community serves as a factor for me to stay, because while I don't necessarily get involved in the drama unless it's brought up to me personally, I enjoy reading about it like it's an afternoon soap and the moments where the community ends up toning it down or coming together on something makes it all worth it.

This site is a mess, we're all a mess, and I love it. <3

Shrugs.

I just like it. I secretly write fic on an AO3 account that will forever be undisclosed and RPing helps me with characterization and improving myself. And also seeing how other people write for characters. It provides a challenge to me.

Most importantly, it's fun. I like to make people laugh.

I get to boss you guys around

tbh mostly it comes down to: one day im gonna have to write the books i needed to read when i was younger, but to my knowlege dont exist, (and i'll write them so that other kids who need them can read them) and this is a really easy way to stay motivated to keep practicing and improving, 'cause there's tons of people here that i wanna impress and the best way to do that is through becoming a great writer with a great sense of his characters

but also i stick around because, even with all the shit you gotta wade through, theres some really nice people here, really great writers, really inspired aus and worlds, and its a fucking hotbed of creativity (even with all the overused aus that keep popping back up—somebdy tries to warp em and thats cool)

The REAL reward.

I've been around Cherubplay since the beta days, and let me tell you, it has gotten way better. Prompts are longer, new ones are posted almost daily, and MOST of the time people aren't total assholes. When the migration started from MSPARP to Cherubplay, however... Whole other story!

Honestly? It can be interesting to see what sorts of ideas you can see popping up nowadays.
Seriously, the amount of interesting AUs and concepts i've seen is staggering! Especially relating to Prospitians and Dersites. More needs to be done with those lil' guys.

(plus its a consistent place i can look for my obscure as fuck ships on)
