I am in Rome. Last week of a six-week trip.
It's been very, very busy here.
I'm not very good at posting on Dreamwidth, or checking it. But it's sort of the last place I can do long-form stuff; Tumblr isn't any good for that if I want actual comments in return, and Twitter is great for engagement but lousy for things that take more than, say, 500 characters to say.
Anyway, I was thinking of doing an all-text LP of Radiant Historia, since a friend recommended that, but I'm not easily able to get screenshots or the like. Maybe 'LP' is too strong a word, since I have no idea what type of game it is beyond JRPG. More like a long list of reaction comments, divvied up by play session. I'd try to include enough context that people could follow along without knowing the game themselves, but it's not, like, 'turn the whole thing into fanfic' as a text LP. Got enough writing to do already.
Would people actually be interested in that? The whole point of LP is to get that feeling of community from other people, after all.

Wow, cool.
That's all I've got, really. ;-) I'm not even sure what LP is, so probably not the target audience for that, but if it'd make you happy to do it, go for it.

An LP originally stood for "Let's Play", and would be video game playing where the audience would have some input on the process; naming characters, voting on decisions, that sort of thing. These days it tends to refer to almost any variation on "One person plays a video game and other people comment on the resulting text/video/what not," whether or not the audience participation is more than as spectators.
