    Experiences Whats something you regret doing in a RP, or an embarrassing RP moment?

    In one RP years ago I killed off an important NPC far too early in the story. Said NPC was always intended to die, but there's so much more I could have done with her before killing her :(

    Fandom James Cameron’s Titanic RP

    I've been craving this for ages. OC x OC.

    Viewpoint What makes you turn down an RP opportunity

    What do you define as obnoxious exactly? I'm just curious as it can be pretty subjective.

    Experiences I just really want to talk to other people who have full-time jobs that limit the amount of time they can spend on their roleplaying writing hobbies

    I'm one of these people and I already have to be in a very specific mindset to even write as it is. Due to my work hours and this there's periods where I'll just vanish without a trace for months. Most RPers are not that patient and willing to wait that long for replies. It makes the hobby tough...

    Viewpoint What are some common RP traits that you don't understand the appeal of?

    When I use actors I tend to use a lot of lesser known foreign ones myself. Only rarely will I use an A-list Hollywood actor, typically because I feel they're PERFECT for the character they're going to be portraying.

    Viewpoint What are some common RP traits that you don't understand the appeal of?

    I'm on a site that requires face claims and they have to be either actors, signed musicians, or signed models. Years ago I wasn't fond of this rule, but I have grown so used to it now. I just think of it as the actors and such playing yet another role. I mean, they're actors. They literally play...

    Viewpoint What are some common RP traits that you don't understand the appeal of?

    Writing real people or canon characters. Half the fun of writing for me is creating my own original characters.

    Advice/Help How Extensive Should Lore About a Roleplay Be?

    As extensive as you want, really. Just make sure it's engaging for the reader, otherwise it'll be hard to find sincere interest for the RP. Personally I leave lore in RP's to a minimum as I know the vast majority of them die pretty quickly. I'd rather put that extra effort of lore building into...

    Viewpoint Wondering About Tenses...

    Which I use really depends on what I'm writing, which sort of atmosphere I'm trying to convey, etc. Sometimes I'll even switch between multiple in a single story. At least this is the case in my personal writing. In RP I always use past tense. Present tense in RP just feels off. It almost...

    Video Games What are you Playing Right Now?

    FF7 Rebirth. Only major complaint I have about the game is that there's way too many minigames. Some of them you're forced to play to progress the story as well.

    Advice/Help What's your favourite magical power to rp?

    Honestly, I like things like shapeshifting simply due to how dynamic it can be. That can be so many different things depending on the nature of the story. Flashy elemental powers like pyromancy are cool too.

    Experiences RP's outside your usual comfort zone?

    When I wrote the OP I was more so thinking things we just find boring, but I also left it open to interpretation.

    Other Roleplay Pet peeves

    As pretty much anyone can attest to I'm literal trash at coming up with actual plots, but I'm great at character creation and worldbuilding. Because of that I rarely include plots I have interest in. However, I will at least include different genres and pairings I'm interested in exploring. At...

    Other Roleplay Pet peeves

    In a similar vein I hate when people put up an interest check thread, but then don't actually list what they're looking for. Some of the ones I've seen basically just say stuff like "I'd like to roleplay". Okay, so does everyone else here, lol.

    Experiences Edginess will always be monumentally annoying in rps.

    Semi-related, but I was in a RP once where my partner made a really ridiculously over-powered NPC. I was like "Oh no, this is going to ruin the story", but in the end the character was actually an interesting addition and led to some important plot development. My partner was very careful about...
