I don't write 1x1 with folks under 21, and I much prefer 25+. Even if the premise of the story was purely platonic, I simply have no interest in having a writing partner that much younger than I am. It is nothing personal! I started RPing in 1999, when I was very, very young. Everyone's gotta...
This is the answer, IMO. There is really never a nice or "good" way to tell someone you dislike their writing, and if it's practically illegible because of their grammar, it's going to take more than a few messages to help this person. I'd put it this way, because this sounds like...
I feel I can safely say my characters tend to be very different people from me. I love to write stubborn, bullheaded, and redeemably ignorant people. I like writing characters who, bless their hearts, aren't that bright. (Okay, maybe that's not totally unlike me.) I will say, though, there are...
Love your av and custom title!
And this is an excellent point. I see it all the time and it drives me absolutely up the wall. A lot of times when I see it, it's written in someone's RP ad. For example, "I do not write SOL. I already am a normal person with a life, so why would I want to write...
For a few years I've been wanting to slap a small group together for this one, but the frustration of trying to run groups on Discord has turned me off trying it.
I want to write about a group of people staying in a seedy roadside motel somewhere in the midwestern US. Late 80s-90s. Every time...
So spot on! Giving them Big Complicated Feelingsβ’ they're not equipped to even identify is my favorite thing. You just perfectly described some of my favorite characters.
S a m e .
I really love to write outlandish rednecks and characters who just aren't the brightest. They get into some crazy stuff I (hopefully) would never do IRL, which makes them more fun in the shenanigans department. It's also fun to try and demonstrate how unintelligent characters can be...
I think player poaching is low and impolite, but if I made friends on someone else's server or really enjoyed writing with a few people in particular, you can bet I am going to try and take them with me wherever I go. The connections I've made in group RP have become some of the best RP partners...
I don't know that this qualifies as my worst roleplay experience per se, but it's absolutely the thing that has frustrated me the most in over 20 years of RP.
When I was pretty new to Discord, I was having difficulty finding the sci-fi group I wanted. So, a friend and I created one from...
I think the most interesting characters are the ones who are allowed to make mistakes, and the ones who are allowed to be bad at something that has a genuine negative effect. Morally infallible characters feel unrealistic. My favorites (that belong to other writers) are the ones who think unkind...
I have a partner I talk to all day every day. If I don't hear from them all day, I'll check in and say something like, "haven't heard from you today; hope all is well!" That said, I would probably wait a week before I checked in about our RP even though this person typically replies more than...
For me, the easiest way to transition out of scenes that are slogging down the plot is to be communicative with your writing partner. Once all the important stuff in the conversation has been said and the characters are resorting to small talk, or when they're effectively just sitting around...
Howdy! I'm semi familiar with this site already. I signed up in hopes of finding a small group to write with and maybe a new 1x1 partner or two. Couple quick things about me:
I'm a female writer, but I've long preferred to write male mains.
I'm 30+, so I prefer to write with other folks upwards...
