i'll be the first to admit that i do sometimes get carried away with my character's family just because that's such a big part of her character. i won't make excuses for myself. at the same time however, i always actively try to add as many people in to the family dynamic as i can! so if you're feeling left out, hmu and i'll work your character in!
that being said, if anyone is ever feeling ignored or left out (on discord or otherwise), please speak up! i promise that no one is going to be angry. it is so much more beneficial in the long run - to you and those who are excluding
i'm also in favor of having another plotting channel. more breathing room is always better in my opinion - and spamming should be moved to character channels (kinda hard to monitor but it should be mentioned!!).
i also think we need to have an introduction channel, if that makes sense? kinda like the main bob discord has! i think it would be a good place for everyone to tell a bit about themselves and their character(s). it's a nice little way to start getting yourself involved in the community
additionally, florence has a huge meet-and-greet in the works (i believe), so that should help with giving everyone's characters the ability to interact!
as far as plotting goes, madi gave us the wonderful idea of backwriting: basically coming up with ideas for your character and someone else's and saying it's always been that way. i.e.: character x loves pranking character y, but character y doesn't mind because they have a crush on character x. it's a quick and easy way to get plots rolling - and it's an easy way to get your character involved in things imo!
also i loved xylo and roman's ideas regarding character participation for both parties!! plus always reading tags to help find commons interests is kickass, and i'm certainly going to be doing that a lot more because i didn't even think about it
another cool idea that i think would be fun to try out is like once every week or so, have our characters participate in a "buddy system" sort of thing. like a private thread between two "buddy" characters, catch them participating in a joint weekly task, and so on. i think that would help bring things together in a new and interesting way, but it's obviously still and idea in the works lmao - one that i'd be happy to help bring to life if everyone's on board / thinks it might help!!
