How Dystopian Are We Going?

[Sophia]

I dunno. You're free to disagree with me if you like. I just remember how much more active this site has always been during a saga, and how little people tend to write on their own. It may not be a trouble for you, but I'd like to see this hubb flourish, and how better than to make the storyline into a long-spanning saga? People could still work on their own things, branch off and come onto the main storyline as they want, but working towards a goal... well, it just seems natural.

The passive aggressive part aside, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. The difference is that a non-dystopian setting allows the most opportunity. There is absolutely no reason why there can't be a group storyline under a non-dystopian setting. Under a dystopic world setting, I'm forced to have my character live in shitty conditions, whereas I can make that choice myself otherwise if I so desire. That's the difference, and why it's so restrictive.
