I asked Raven (we're hanging out in YM right now) and she said, "Because I was done." [grin] Can't have a better answer than that, right?
Palace has its ups and downs, intensity-wise. But yeah, you can't really dictate when the crunch periods come. I haven't posted anything in Palace in a few days, but there've been times when I ate, slept and breathed Palace for a week or two. If you have kids and all then you probably wouldn't want to get involved on a regular basis. Although because Palace is what it is, we have an option for people to come in and just play a client as a one-shot thing. Come in, make an appointment, do a PWP, and wander off again. :) Practically speaking, you post in the chat com here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/palace_rpg/) and say you want to play a client. I definitely understand if you're too busy with your own stuff and your husband and kids, though.
And I've been reading Arena, around chatting with Raven. I'm on "Last." Good stuff so far. And actually, I'm not all that sorry I didn't read it before, 'cause now I have this huge slew of stuff to wade into. [beam]
No, an excess of politeness is never bad, although it can be rather bemusing at times. What's bad is when folks get all sniffy when someone friends them without asking, or posts a comment without being on The List. I've seen it happen. I just never imagined the attitude was quite so prevalent as shown in Isis's survey. Here's a link to it, if you're interested:
