Hey folks!
I know Play by Post doesn't exactly seem to be ...popular at all, idk...
But I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for places to try it out?
I no longer have the time to MU* in real ish time, which makes me kinda sad. But really in need of some wordy creativity that isn't just me in an echo chamber of my own shitty writing.
You might still be able to MU*. Ares has the ability to allow for play by post style MU*ing. It's not really my thing, so I don't know much about it, but I know a few people around here are really into it.

Oh cool!
Next question then...
Wtf is Ares?
I've seen folks talk about it a bit, but not totally sure what it is. And not sure my Googling attempts are finding the correct thing.
Quick link or point in the right direction? n.n.
@bluebird AresMUSH: https://aresmush.com/
You can find Ares games here: https://arescentral.aresmush.com/games
The specific tolerance for play-by-post style "asynchronous RP" will vary from game to game, though. It's more of a game culture thing; it's just that Ares has support for it baked in whereas on other MU platforms the players have to switch to a google doc or something for async RP.
You can also check out Storium, which is directly built around play-by-post style RP: https://storium.com/
Ares is a good option for asynchronous play, and if you find time can still dig up synchronous RP.
Forum-wise, RPG Directory is a forum for posting ads for various forum/pbp RPs. Like Mud-Connector. It seems to have a few Mu* folks that no longer mu for their own reasons.
Arx also has a bit of a play by post thing with their 'flashback' system. Like @Ominous that isn't really my style so I can't tell you how it works or anything.
Arx does have the flashback system, but I think overall you’d struggle on the game if you wanted to EXCLUSIVELY do that. The game culture doesn’t really support its use for primary play.
Rolegate. It is a good place for play by post
