Use basic BBcode knowledge, creative use of images and a decent amount of trial and error. You can get a lot done that way. If you’re wondering how to get that basic knowledge of you don’t have it, there are guides on site.
See the problem with that changed metaphor, or one of them anyway, is that this isn't a "tri-state area and outside of that" kind of scenario. That would imply it's somehow a lot harder to get to even find RPs that are permissive of shorter posts, more flexible posting sizes or anything like...
Sure, if you don't want to engage with it, I think that's fair. I just wanted to present a different perspective and bring up why someone would still have good reason to adhere to something you say should be "obsolete".
I will say, this part I think you have every right to be upset about. To...
There was mixed feedback, some people forgetting or dropping out and some understanding of my own problem after a vacation. Looking back, I think my issue of overcomplicating or maybe I got a little too ambitious with Rewind and the other quest RP I tried that I'm not being able to find, Rewind...
Though there might be, I would point out that a lot of RP is done by people who remain anonymous. I guess maybe with VR and voice changers it might be possible, but even then I think simple social awkwardness alone would be enough to stop this from happening to a large extent.
To be honest...
I will say this: I think that quote fits well in what I am saying. See, apple and other great inventions didn't come because someone tried to change the behavior of others to fit in with what they thought best. It came because someone decided to try something they thought others might like, and...
There's several things to point out there that make this comparison a little misaligned:
One the kids are not in class to enjoy themselves, they are there because there is important information for them to learn. Roleplay is a hobby and like everything created for enjoyment it should exist to...
I don't think roleplaying - not even roleplaying in a writing format specifically - is dying any time soon. For one thing in a sense roleplaying is as old as humanity itself, as when children play pretend and various other games that involve assuming a role they are roleplaying. I don't think...
For a second before reading the rest of your post I thought "Wait, are those two an actual cannon crossover"? Because I just finished (as in immediately prior to opening the notification) an anime episode that concluded a Sherlock Holmes vs Arsène Lupin arc.
Just to be clear, when I said original that was by contrast with fandom / cannon. So, it wouldn’t be set on that universe (though in fairness, outside of specific characters and places, as well as how word magic functions, the world is largely base fantasy at the core)
I really love Faraway Paladin! Whether I would roleplay it would depend on a lot of things (and honestly given how the series is, I'd probably opt to just make something original but similar in most cases), but if you would like to chat about it, I'd be up for it :D
While there's some truth to what you're saying - that ultimately people seek different things and you shouldn't assume that just because you do this or that a problem like purple prose is automatically solved - as you yourself mentioned there are "basic guidelines you can follow" (albeit I...
I'm not sure if purple prose is subjective per say, but if nothing else I do think it heavily depends on context and writing style - as well as the expectations that come with certain styles of writing. However, if someone like the OP wants to avoid it it's because they don't want others to see...
Yeah but what is noticeable or wrong-feeling to one person won’t necessarily be for the next, especially in edge cases and doubly so when one of the person is the one that wrote it in the first place.
Your power is "Former Self's Shadow". While holding a cutting object you can close your eyes to visualize a representation of your psyche, a large sprawling network of interconnected wires atop a pink hill. You have a vague sense of which parts represent what part of your psyche, allowing you to...
Your power is “Sword of Fairloot”. The aforementioned sword can be created an endless number of times by invoking it from clear water warmed by sunlight, but each time it is, the formerly created ones dissipate. Once invoked from the waters, it takes the shape of a solid gold sword with a rain...
An application I certainly didn't think of, but a neat way to use it as well haha
Feel free! And if you feel you've changed / grown a lot as a person, there's also precedent for people submitting for themselves again to see what they get.
