So i've been thinking lately about one particular thing that seems to be prevalent in the RP; charries whose voices get 'lost' so that the RPer feels they have to abandon them or have them leave Hogwarts

I understand it happens, I think we have all lost muse at some point or another, but personally it makes me sad when my charrie loses friends or potential friends (or I ooc lose charries I love to stalk) due to this problem.

Which brings me to the purpose of this thread:
A) have you ever lost muse for a charrie? What did you do to try and get it back? What made you give up in the end and switch charries? What would you do differently next time and what did you learn from it? Do you ever feel guilty about abandoning ship so to speak?

B) what tips do you all have to avoid this in the first place? How do you establish a charrie? How do you make them fun to play? How do you stimulate your muse for a charrie?

Essentially, how do you make a charrie stick?
