With most of my RP career involving science fiction, historical, and fantasy flavoured boards, who often try for galactic wars and epic plots, my time on Passing Strange has really made me appreciate the blend of slice of life, supernatural intrigue, and interpersonal drama, without feeling there's a need to follow any particular plot beyond where the characters take you. The free flowing writing, an anything goes attitude, and a drive to have fun while doing it makes for a great environment for some exploratory writing that can take you outside your comfort zone, in a good way! There's always something to learn in new threads: about characters, about the world, about your own writing, and about your partners' writing. With the culture of opens and ability to enter a thread freely, the place keeps you on your toes, especially with the knowledge that something interesting will always be waiting around the corner. You might be surprised by someone hopping into a thread, but I found that it helped me loosen up and become more adaptable when surprised as action unfolded in threads. The community is also friendly and welcoming when you hop into the Discord, willing to answer questions, get to know you, and coo over your cute pets. There's always excitement when someone new pops in, gleeful about new characters and new opportunities. I've been RPing for more than a decade at this point, but the PS community has been one that's been easy to get into and appreciate. They possess an overflowing positivity that can be overwhelming at times, but at the end of the day is appreciated for how it brightens days and cheers up dour moods.
