A very small piece of my mind -- from the host and owner of the role playing chat room on Sanguinem Draconis known as Tales From The Daily Prophet
In the past I actually tried to farm out bits of the storyline to people. That didn't work. I left the room for about six months and someone was in charge of the school and someone else was in charge of the ministry and not one thing happened.

I started this room because the other rooms I'd been playing in just didn't come up to the standard of role play I was used to. There was no real system that made the play easier for quidditch or combat, and nothing that guided people in making characters with consistent traits. There were far too many rules and not enough fun for everyone. And there was a lot of idiots out there who seem to think that using more words makes you better as a role player than anything else. See, I was always taught what made you a better role player was imagination. Silly me. So, I wanted to have a place where original characters could play in the world built by J.K. Rowling. It was nothing to kill off Harry—a testament of how accomplished she is at world-building—adapted Over The Edge from Atlas Games' system and here we are! One thing I hate above anything else: Bullshit. I can't tolerate it. Coming in a close second is politics. The lies and stupid attention getting devices meant to make my room into your room don't work on me. I'm completely teflon in that regard and I won't let it happen in my room.
