I've finished quite a few story arcs, or had RPs grind to a halt and pseudo-'finish' but I don't really write for final endings - the journey is what interests me. So I've never really written much of a closed-loop or had an otherwise final ending set from the start.
I think it's fine if we disagree honestly haha. It's not a matter of right or wrong, just personal preference.
And for 100% of my writing I don't give a shit about line OR paragraph count so it's not really a subject I feel strongly about enough to debate it - just shared my thoughts on...
Nah I just read the opening post and started spouting off, and they mentioned lines; I was not responding to yours or (if it came off as that) attacking you and I apologize if I did come off that way!
The actual definition of a paragraph is very hard to lock down - it can be as short as one...
I don't really have a specific minimum (oh shit, this post is only 2 paragraphs, time to fluff it out with some purple prose!) but as a rough rule of thumb, I personally find that 2-4 paragraphs is where most posts start, tell a story, and end appropriately without intentionally extending or...
Excellent post overall, but I especially agree with those comments. Trying to proscribe one-size-fits-all limits for how people SHOULD write is incredibly short sighted and in my eyes is a sign of someone who has no business giving advice at all - such a huge part of writing IS in breaking or...
To be honest, it's a bit of everything from the poll, but the biggest part is collaborative story writing for me. It adds an element of freshness and unexpectedness that no amount of dice bullshit or surprise plot twists can match; I can be surprised by how my own characters react for sure...
Female who almost entirely RPs girls (or 3000 year old female spirits, or female dragons, or.... you get the idea), but I do enjoy playing male characters a lot - it's just that the vast majority of my ideas end up being female. When a dude worth playing comes up hell yeah I'll play them out...
Sorry for the delay, last few days have been crazy weird IRL lol. I know roughly what to post and can lead into a skip as desired from there, just haven't had the time to sit down and write jack shit.
Oh lmao. Did not see that coming at all. I don't have any particularly strong feelings, I thought it looked cute and was curious why you disliked it, guess I misread the first post.
I will never not be amused by the doublethink of those who are happy to shit on a business for not selling cakes to a group they dislike (and demand they be forced to do so) or for having right leaning views (y'all ever actually read that google engineer dude's thing or just see the headlines...
If that's all you got from my entire post then yeah you definitely missed the point. All the other examples of stuff in a convo that might be relevant? Even using your bare bones example, WHY and HOW does it grate his ears? Does he not have any brain at all to the point that he literally doesn't...
Hecka darn diddly doo we did, son! Now to see if I get a post out before or after I crash like windows 10 on a good day. Really looking forward to getting past the awkward hump where I struggle to write a new character lol.
