In all the years that you've been rping, how many threads did you actually finish?
Not counting event ones...I don't know but I know it's less than ten lmao but I've only been roleplaying freeform for a full year. I've had a lot of characters and been in multiple sites though so I think it's really, really few. And I know I've been in at least fifty threads since then. I know because I once counted all the threads I was in. I was in 30+ threads...in two sites alone.

If my partners don't drop off, I finish every thread I'm in. The best was b4, you could get a thread done within a week and start a next one the minute it was finished! I don't count, I can't even begin to count, but I get more finished than not.

As far as I remember...five, out of a smaller pool than the norm though, not counting those done as npc modding.
Coincidentally enough, most of them ended with something/someone combusting.

In my early years of Rp I used to finish all my threads, lately not so much and I think the only finished threads I have are...well... i think the only threads i've ever completed were events/battles. Tsun kinda said it better than I could.

If I was to talk about all the years, it would go on for a long time. I've been roleplaying for over ten years now.. I think it's actually about thirteen? And since then I've been one to really enjoy finishing roleplays, so I think my number would be well over a hundred. But I'm perfectly happy to say that particularly in the past, I made sure to finish a thread. It was part of the reason I was into non-fluid time for a bit. But at the same time I love liquid time because I love having a zillion threads going. x3

I can count on one hand the number of threads I've finished.
My track record is awesome.

I can't say about the other sites I have been on, because nobody kept track which threads were finished or not, but if I could finish it, I did. I usually finish everything I start.
On "Before the Mast", where I am keeping the statistics for the whole board, in almost 3 years of activity we have less than 6% unfinished threads.

My track record is awesome. hey me, when did i get here? but in all seriousness, i probably have finished around 10 threads. i always try to finish all my threads, though - most of the time it ends up being the other member going on hiatus.

I have horrible luck with rping partners- I've finished a grand total of two threads in my four-something years of rping. DX It isn't that I don't like finishing them, I'd kill to finish most of mine, but other people disappear on me. Constantly.
That said, it's such a freaking amazing feeling when I do finish you don't even know~

Yeah, same with you guys - I always do finish my threads. The reason I hardly finish any is because my rp partner doesn't respond, the character was dropped or the site dies. On rare occasions, I tend to stop replying when I lose interest in the site overall which, so far, had only happened because the site itself is losing activity. It's harsh and maybe a few months back, I would berate myself for being like that but those things just happen, sadly.

We should start an RP movement, the Thread Finishing Movement, where you just gun out the end of a thread if it's starting to get stale.
