As somebody who's working on his character's wiki -RITE NAO-, this brings up a very solid point.
See, I read people's wikis and journals and bios as a primer, but the things that come up in conversation are volunteered through normal interaction, never with information loaded up from said wiki. I just, personally, like to read journals. A lot. And wikis. I love 'em. I love reading 'em, I love writing 'em, I just enjoy it.
Journals for me have been a means to an end. When I was on Behemoth, journal writing was a way to display my character as a character instead of "herd tank omg usuk". Now that I'm on an honest-to-the-Twelve RP community and these-people-exist roleplay server....
....dammit....now I might have to ball the whole bloody thing up. >.<
Honestly, though, thank you for the food for thought.
