Since I'm notorious for this, I now give everyone an advanced head's up that, if I do vanish, not to take it to heard. I'm still interested; I'm just not around. It tends to work well because anyone who's looking for a highly active partner, knows to avoid me. XD
In the past, I think I've only had to tell 3 people I was done. When I do it, I explain why. The one that stands out the most was with regard to someone's character. I just couldn't deal with their character. They were one of those always-perfect, never-at-fault characters. Oh and they couldn't die. They were a master ninja assassin who's a genius. Yadda yadda yadda. They had no flaws. I hate perfect characters. So I called them out on it. Never heard back from them. Oops.
OH! And I have rage quit RPs before. I hate it when people gang up on you. You are your partners discuss one option. Everyone knows the roles. You make your post. And then they completely disregard everything. Normally, I wouldn't complain and just roll with it but my character was drugged against my will. We went from a peaceful truce to a OH BY THE WAY, WE LIED, WE'RE GOING TO DRUG YOU AND KIDNAP YOUR GIRLFRIEND. YOLO. Like... wut. So I rage quit. Not my best moment as I created A LOT of enemies but whatever. I was so pissed.
With regard to the samples, I don't really provide them. If someone wants to see how I write, they can check my history. If they have a requirement, they need to do the work. Not me.
