I find that 2-3 paragraphs is pretty reasonable for a reply. By the time you have your character’s actual dialogue and actions, a bit of description, and some internal monologue you have usually written at least that much. Also many games involve multiple points of view which will cause your...

I think it has more to do with the media than anything. Rp is an interactive experience so it stands to reason that people who aren't participating in the rp would be less interested in it than in other forms of media more focused on non interactive consumption. Most of the time if I read an rp...

Myrta gave excellent advice. If you want to be a professional writer then you will have to accept that people will say harsh things about your work. Even if what they say is not particularly constructive criticism you still need to try to get whatever benefit you can from it. That is not to say...

I'll be happy to discuss plots with you. I'm on my phone at the moment so I'll wait till I get home to send more but generally. 1 plots follow a sort of build up, climax, resolution cycle. For longer stories you will have many mini cycles that make up a bigger one. I'll link you some...

Are you asking generally how to structure a plot, how to flesh out an idea into a full plot, or how to divide a plot into chapters.

I don’t put any stock at all in character sheets. I would rather have a short story showing a moment in the characters life prior to the rp. To me that tells a lot more about who they are than a Google image pic, height / weight, what their hair looks like, ect. As for how I like to make my...
