Oh, not at all. And, that wasn't what I meant, either.
What I meant was, back in the days of TOMB/MBL, everyone wasn't so worried about creating infinite years of back-up story for their characters, spotlighting their character as the constant hero-of-the-moment, and didn't mind if other writers helped define their characters or character-moments.
Now, everyone has to make sure that their character has novels of back-story, is solo-spotlighted within the group as being more important than others, and is very, very strict about how their character is defined/written/presented by other writers.
If everyone would just relax, and allow the story and writers to go with the flow, we might end up writing six posts a night. Why? Because we wouldn't be worried about making sure that Character A's accent/background/explicit abilities are portrayed in the golden light of heroism, is concurrent to the decimal point with noted and well-established history, and does nothing to present said character in any light/perception than has already been implicitly demanded by said character's originator.
Nowadays, everyone is more concerned with writing characters, instead of stories....
