Tylwyth Narah sort of sits in the grey area between active and reactive RP, and it's actually been a good tool for helping some of our newer RPers become more active in their RP: A big part of the raison d'etre of the group is to play villains in other people's arcs. This is inherently both an active and a reactive mode to play in. We're out there being bad guys and taking action that's often completely unanticipated. At the same time, we're often working in an arc that's been assembled by someone else, so you could say we're simply playing a reactive part within that arc. It's fun, though.
One of the big things about the way that we play is that so much of our RP is there to enable other people's RP, and that's not a bad way to go. We get a ton of RP; we get to take a very active role within that RP - including plotting, story driving and the like; and we get to help other people develop better stories. I'm not saying that you shouldn't develop Hornet's story (or that being a special snowflake is bad), just that this is another alternative for developing a more active style of RP.
And, y'know, we could always use a token Roegadyn...Â
