But of course! I'll see you there.

Alrighty, time to bump this thread up.

I was actually in the process of rewriting the entire prompt, didn't expect to have any takers. Thank you for taking notice regardless! Ah, you sound exactly like the type of person I've been looking for. Not the empty shell part, lol. I'll shoot you a PM asap.

Hello, fellow roleplay enthusiast! I'm a developing writer, seeking to improve my art. I also have a fantasy world of my own creation in need of development, so I'm looking for a talented partner who is willing to aid me in my quest! First off, I should start by telling you about the world in...

Man, that has to be the most unfortunately obnoxious emoji I've ever seen. All of the RPnation emoticons are annoying, frankly. They're like happy little yellow balls of passive-aggression incarnate, poisoning the words of whomsoever employs them. Not saying your statement was actually...

Frankly, I think both sides have equally applicable advice, depending on what kind of story I want to tell.

Somewhat? More than half of this thread has been devoted to bickering about how a proper story is begun.

Oh, I understand this rule already. My character, being a ninja, is intensely distrustful of anyone not within his inner circle, but at the same time very much wishes to be more open with people; This naturally creates conflict. Basically a free soul suppressed by paranoia. I think it's rather...

You make a good case as well, but my introduction was not only rather unfitting but also redundant. My partner had already established the weather, but I just reiterated on her work and loosely tied it into my character's development.

Oh my, that is extraordinarily helpful, and so obvious now that I look at it! Thank you, this is some very valuable feedback. Is there anything else you would have improved?

Out of curiosity, why do weather descriptions in particular weaken an opening? Is it simply that they're a tad cliched or?...

For reference, here's an RP I've been working on for a bit. Lately, I've been having that nagging thought that my writing isn't quite up to snuff. Some sentences feel like they end too quickly, sometimes I doubt I gave enough emphasis to a plot point, and I have some trouble generating...
