The main reason I dropped out of the RP game so quickly, after you went to all that trouble of setting me up, will probably sound so ludicrous as to be...well, a very ludicrous thing. Just as I was getting settled into RPing, I was hit by a norovirus. Seriously. I mentioned it briefly on my lj, but didn't want to go into detail, as having the Norwalk virus is just as disgusting as they say, if not more so. And every time I looked at the page and thought about logging in, I would get a flashback to being that drastically ill and I would think "Erm, not right now." And then I got out of the habit.
Also I was really shy about whether I was doing the "right" kind of character interaction, or whether I was messing other people up too badly with my comments, and I enjoyed it a lot, but it was kind of scary. Even with support, it's hard to break into an established community that already has strong bonds with each other and a history. It's easy to disrupt that, or feel as though you might be disruptive, even if you're not.
