I have only ever had one successful rp, well it got through one huge story point and then people got older and uninterested. Ironically it was a sailor moon rp, on Gaia (where I role played in high school) and made it well past 1500 pages, with every person doing at least 2 paragraphs per entry. I don't know how I winged that, but none of my other rps have lasted that long since. That and now I just stink with coming up with group ideas. I'd like to revisit that rp, but there were sooooooooo many characters to look after, and it involved a lot of other people having to help with the plot line via being informed through pm's.
