General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I'm getting tired of making generally bad OC (startrek.website)

I've made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I'm either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn't work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I'm just discouraged by the lack of even comments.

So, to tie this all up - is it worth a latinum bar to keep trying to do OC? Do you all even want that (seriously)?

Nobody wants OC for OC's sake. They want entertaining content. Effort is irrelevant. Frankly I looked at your post history and your risa posts aren't that funny to me. Which makes sense if you've been forcing yourself to make them. Humour should come naturally.
