Rmph...
I'm not a big fan of modern-themed RP's/RPG's, I prefer the futuristic types. I also like it when people are original... Like, for instance, Family RP's are just too common. School RP's are rare, but outer-space RP's are...(shakes head)
I find RP's/RPG's as something to build creativity on. Come up with your own theme, don't copy. And when people go over-the-top in a... horrific or exaggerated way, then forget it.
