the bane of shared universes is the urge people have to rush through stories so that others don't make a story before they do - thus when an idea strikes we run to make a new character or world without actually sitting down and thinking if it will work.. only for a story to go haywire or not work at all.. leaving stories that can never be finished and paradoxes that make Squirrel Girl comics seem normal. If a story has reached the point of no return we shouldn't be afraid to step in, if we were a major company we'd be a lot stricter than we are now - with all our projects we may want to adopt some of that mentality.. not to be cruel to newcomers (or inactive old timers) but for the simple fact that if we want to make a real RP community we need a list of rules and we need to enforce them.

Remember the old days when you had a time-limit or you were defeated? that cost Voice his first defeat - which then caused War-Cry.. from a wrecked story was born a new one, granted some may reject this idea but let's be truthful.. if someone hasn't edited their own story for a year they are unlikely to be coming back and even if they do the canon will overwhelm them and they'd likely want to start anew anyways.
