Keeping it (Un)Real

I was hesitant to get involved with any of the PBEM or PBJ games that have been going on for years now, because, let's face it, I write like a 15 year-old.  I've read what some of these people are writing, and they're practically at a professional level.  I didn't want to bring down the game.

I got involved with The Cold War because I finally decided that it might be a good exercise (my writing might even improve!), and I really enjoy the setting (as any good 15 year-old would).  Also, hey, all my friends were doing it!  ;)

The past couple of weeks have been such an amazing amount of fun in this game that I am rushing home so that I miss less stuff due to the time I'm in the car driving.  Now that's a damned fine game.  (Yes, I know, it's interactive fiction.  Game is shorter to type/say.)

I have not risen to the level of some of these folks, in my writing or in my level of political machination, but I am not embarrassing myself, and I believe I have made some threads more fun for a few players.  They certainly have done for me.  Truly, it has been a godsend to me over the past few weeks during my medical trauma (or drama, however you like).
