Assuming I read the conversion table I looked up correctly, eight pm GMT is noon Pacific. The roleplay style you describe is how the first go-round of Elcenia was produced. I’ll do some of this with you to see how it goes—no long term promises.
Meh, I can’t seem to manage catching you on weekend evenings either (by the time you might be online, I become too aware of the fact that co-writing tends to take time, and then if we would get started or even started planning I might end up being up really late, and I’m actually starting to get a little sleepy and would prefer an early bedtime...) But I’ll still try to manage it some day.
Okay, I don’t seem to have enough energy to even consider writing fiction when I’ve already spent my writing energy at work. I’ll try catching you on a weekend instead.
I thought you’d previously said that although you produced the beginning of Elcenia this way, it wasn’t enough of your thing that you’d want to try it again. But maybe I misunderstood.
Today I probably won’t have the time, but I’ll see if I’ll manage to catch you tomorrow evening. (Or some day after that, if you’re busy tomorrow.)
It depended heavily on the rapport between me and my co-creator, but it worked pretty well for a couple of years and at peak we could gleefully write at each other for seventeen hours a day. We produced a couple million words of usable plot and character development and had a great time through most of it. I think I’m probably not good enough at Playing With Others to do this with arbitrary people, but you’re worth a try, and if the finished product is clearly intended to be yours, I think I can back off on my steamroller tendencies.

Hearing (well, reading) this gives me warm fuzzies. :-)
