The Omniverse has helped me... to rediscover my love for big, interesting plots, and to write multi-paragraph posts rather than snippets. Also, to improve upon myself as a writer, in terms of quality.
I have a pretty long streak of roleplaying that I kept uninterrupted almost since I started some 10 years ago across various sites, but it was usually with people who were around my skill level of writing - and that's in the best case scenario. I've had my share of roleplays where people replied with single-word posts (People writing " *smiles* " and nothing else, ugh... if you don't know what to write, just tell me, damnit) and I've been told several times that I am "the best writer they ever played with." I am not writing this to egostroke, but to point out that it made me realize I was writing in a community that just wasn't a good fit for me anymore. The same happened to me on a fanfiction site where 99% of the stories were pairings or bad crossovers and .9% were either short or forever-unfinished "good" stories.
Well, the Omniverse encourages you to write regularly and to write much thanks to the OM system, it encourages good quality because threads can get bonuses and what you write will be there for everyone to read, and most importantly I'm not single-handedly the best writer. There's numerous people with their own qualities in their writing (some write good fights, others are good at writing frightening experiences etc.) and many writers who write better than me, who I can learn from. Plus the community is amazing and small enough that everyone can know everyone else. (Honestly I could go on for a while about why I love the Omniverse)
