I just want to prod you people and remind you that most of the time people's characters are already in a thread and we are only allowing people to be one place at a time (except of course for multi-post-threads like the Easter Ball). So if you decide to start a new topic without having made sure that someone will join you in it, there is always a (rather large) risk that you will remain alone. Therefore, unless you like posting with yourself, joining an existing IC-topic is always the best bet.
If you are already alone in a topic and don't know what to do about that, I suggest that you either
- ask in the RP Discussions forum for anyone with a free (and fitting ;)) character (or PM someone if you had a particular one in mind), or
- write yourself out of it and join an existing topic.
