PSA ABOUT LAKE GRIMSTONE
Hi there, some of you might remember me, most of you probably will not, seeing as Lake Grimstone goes through its fair share of writers. My name is Tyler, and I used to write an original character named Stone Jackson in this RPG. I was gone for a long time, due to health reasons, and when I finally came back and wanted to start writing here again, I was told to reapply. Pretty standard procedure, no biggie. I wanted to apply with a different OC of mine, however, and I was told by an admin that that would be completely fine. I sent information on my newer character, submitted an application, and I waited. When acceptance came around, I received a message saying that my app would not be accepted due to the fact that I hadn't included a bio for my muse. One would think stuff like that might be mentioned in the application, but seeing as the application is meant for only LG characters, I'd say that it's a little biased, but oh well. I was asked to submit her bio, which I did, and once again, I waited. The last message I received from an LG admin was on November 17th. I have sent my OC's bio in twice, once on the day I was asked to send it (the 17th), and once again yesterday, just in case they didn't get my ask, seeing as I never heard back. Since sending that ask again, my application has been dropped from the app count and I still have not heard from an admin. Not to mention, an admin's character application got accepted before ours, without a public acceptance. I'm taking this as an blatant act of disrespect and I'm thoroughly appalled that a group meant for writers would act this way. That is not all, my friends. Since joining this group over a year ago, I have noticed that the admins, for the most part, only write with each other. This creates a rift in a group. If admins are only interacting with one another, that is basically creating, for lack of better terms, a clique, and I believe that an RPG should be all-inclusive. I have tried, on two separate occasions, to start a thread with a character that an admin writes, and I never heard back nor received a starter. I have, on good word, heard of more recent attempts for an admin character to be the knight in shining armor when three other characters were planning on saving another. All of this is absolutely ridiculous and this is me calling it out, to maybe spare some other writers the misfortune of not being respected in a community meant for writers. Not to mention that the admins can't even come up with original plots/characters, seeing as they borrowed at least two characters from a TV show and they ship them together, just like on the show. The LG Gossip blog is a joke. Not only do they blatantly prefer their own characters for positions of power when it isn't warranted, they say things that make you question where on Earth their minds are at. When asked who would be fit for "leadership", they responded with Nate Bevan of all people, because the ability to make people 'fall into line' is a respected leadership trait. I'm pretty sure the last psycho dictator that had that ability was Adolf Hitler. They also mentioned Isabella, who they quoted as weak, because that logically makes sense. Matt is in a leadership position for his own personal agenda. Look around, admins. There's plenty of people who fit the bill of a good leader, but you're too busy having your heads shoved up your own characters' asses to see it. There are quality writers here, and you're ignoring them and disrespecting them for no good reason. This entire RPG is a joke, and to think that I used to have respect for it only sickens me now.
All this being said, I hope everyone has a lovely day, and if you're interested in joining a REAL RPG, with a completely original plot and characters, that is OC FRIENDLY, feel free to message me.
