So what do you do when your IC mentor, best friend, leader, Master, lover, owner, or thread buddy seems to be sort of... not at hand? You had something set up. You were getting there. Your character was there...
But nothing.
Your character needs to learn from their mentor, or needs to experience something. Or you just wanted to reach the critical point in that awesomely awesome, all-important thread that suddenly stalls to your horror. But... everything was going so well!
Now your character is doomed to some sort of purgatory. Sure, you can go and write 'past RPs' and fill in backstory, but... what about moving forward? Your character just does not fit in with the rest of the crowds. Their story required to at least finish that one thread so they could progress. But you're stuck. Possibly forever, depending on how some of those unannounced LOAs go or if Ben Kenobi just stopped caring about your young Skywalker. What do you do? You put work into your character. Their inspiration is still strong. But you're feeling like you called for the blast doors to close just a second too late, severing you from Captain Solo forever.
One critical element was all you wanted. Really, the galaxy could be yours to dive into and your character could tear up the town--if you could just get through this one door.
What do you do? Where? How?
...Is your character dead for all purposes?
How to proceed?
I'm just looking for advice.
