Whatever we do decide upon, I'd like it if we can try to strike a balance between smut and plot (note that this doesn't necessarily mean<em>action</em>, ie: fighting).  I may just be speaking for myself here, but I find it difficult to maintain interest in a roleplay unless there is some sort of progress for me to latch onto<em>beyond</em>the relationships between characters.  In other words, I prefer a non-static environment as much as I love non-static characters.  I think that such a thing is indeed achievable, especially if we decide upon the earlier system of making new threads when things get hot and heavy, rather than cluttering the main thread with a sudden splurge (if you'll pardon the phrase) of posting between only two or three people that suddenly jumps the page count ahead two or three spaces.  That isn't to say that the main thread couldn't have plenty of suggestive and sexual things going on, just that it might be wise to take the more "in-depth" scenes elsewhere, where any of the other players can feel free to jump in.
