What motivates you... - Tenacity - 11-10-2009
TBH, i'm not really sure. I just like to write. I write about everything... I wrote bio's and histories for my WoW characters despite the fact that nobody ever RP'd in that game (at least, not on my server). I guess I just like to compile my ideas into a well written story, it's a form of art - and most artists will say that they dont really have a reason for doing their art, they just do it because... it's enjoyable.
When I write my stories, I'm not just putting words on paper (or a computer screen) - you could say I almost go into a trance, I envision the world I'm writing about, like I'm in it, I am my characters and their enemies, I write as if it's actually happening. It's relaxing to do, or exciting in some cases - like when I write about a battle or dramatic event, I see it as it happens, I feel what the characters feel, when I write about a character being scared or courageous I'm sharing those emotions as I type.
I've often thought about becoming an author, but I have a bad habit of never being able to finish a story, I always want to add more or I get stuck and just cant envision where things should go from one point onward. I've written hundreds of short stories about dozens of different games and genres, but I've never really 'finished' any of them.

It's fun. That's it. If I don't feel like doing something, I don't do it. Simple as.

Because being Brakelatabasaasta is fun. If only all my other characters were as fun as him. Then maybe I'd get some actual stories posted... so many ideas, but too lazy to type 'em all out.

I write for fun. No more, no less.

Brakelatabasaasta is just down right hilarious and it's beyond the scope of my small mind as to what motivates such well structured nonsense but I certainly hope it continues.
As for myself, most of my writing involves the faction and keeping the group moving. Currently have a fine group of fellow Guild Masters to shoulder the burden and provides me with more time in-game.

server (temporarily) dying for example

Server dying just make that instead of being in-game, ppl make stories.
But yes, it is a reason why some make stories.

I like to dream up X-rated encounters involving my two main characters, Evangeline and Misaka.
The aforementioned characters being representations of myself and my girlfriend with some minor editing.:)
Of course I either never write them down or edit them before clicking on the post reply button. The cat's ears incident, for example, is based on real events and was quite a steamy read before I backspaced it to hell and back.:nyam:

Well, for me funny to play roles.
At that server you can have RP&PvP, at all another only PvP.
+good that at server are a lot of people.
About stories...hm...they are just like "identify myself" in game.
