Ish?
I've never had a character kidnapped for more than a day, always just long enough to RP out some horrible thing happening to them while they were vulnerable then waking up in a tub of ice (Can we say black market organ trading? I think it got eaten in the end) or with blood all over their hands.
I've been on the sidelines of other characters' stories when they've been kidnapped for weeks and it was just soul-grindingly painful, especially when they did the hardcore thing of not playing OOC while they were IC out of commission. After watching others go through it and feeling exceptionally awkward about not being able to approach them or even communicate with them IC, I think I'd pass on any opportunities to do something like that. Unless it was highly convenient, like I had to be away from the computer RL for that time anyway, or something.
