@Bill Nye The Octopi So having read through your posts I think this has come down to a simple miscommunication. Your issue is bullying. You don’t like it when people spread lies about other people to make them feel excluded. I have been the victim of a mild form of that same bullying. It’s...

So I think you're making a lot of assumptions out of fear. You were bullied in the past and so you have convinced yourself that bullying is a widespread problem on this site/with roleplaying in general. It's really not. I joined this site in 2015. I have had three different accounts in that...

Because sometimes it’s helpful to know when a user is going to be a bigot or attempt to promote behavior you find morally repugnant. Example years ago there was a user who made a whole thread defending IRL relationships between students and teachers. Which they just barely skated around the...

So I think it might help you to read some horror books to get a feel for how to set up suspense. As that is what your posts lack, partially do to over explaining. You don’t need to take the time to explain the type of gun, the type of camera, etc. It feels like product placement in the middle...

I tend to not get too attached to my OCs. I might have them pop up as background characters in future stories (a little Easter egg for myself) but otherwise I just put em in my archive of roleplay ideas that didn’t get started and keep moving on.

...behind them. They finally get the door open, desperately throwing a Nintendo VR Box behind them to hopefully distract the creature. They slam the door shut behind them and watch as it locks. ** You can add bits of dialogue as appropriate since I don't really know the context for the scene. **

So for me it’s a consistency issue. I am a very visual person so I need the visuals to be similar or it breaks immersion for me. For instance if your watching a TV show and suddenly one of the character becomes animated but all the other characters are live action that is jarring. Now some TV...

It reminds me of my fanfic days when people would have beta readers. Part of their job was to proof read but also act as a sounding board for the writer. I feel like a lot of slower paced roleplayers or folks who like world building would benefit from that. Because I can come up with one shots...

@Chordling Oh I definitely feel that. I think a lot of my early roleplays were really tied up in friendship. Not necessarily IRL friendships, although I certainly had a lot of them at the time, but also my early partners were mostly friends. I had folks I talked to for years at a time that have...

lol I think we're kind of codependent. At least if you ask my sisters who are always like -- "Girl put your foot down." I'm like "I try! I do. But she says no...and I don't really have a good follow up." As you can imagine I am the fun aunt because I'm just like... as long as it's not...

In fairness we do get along pretty well 95% of the time, and the times we clash I'm not sure I would do any better with a roommate. Maybe we wouldn't argue about the exact same things but it would still be little petty things. Plus I love my mom but she's at an age and of a temperament where I...

I think for me the biggest issue isn't even my job since that's pretty set hours each week. It's when I get home and I think I can finally get to writing a reply only for my mom to be like "oh actually I need to use the computer" or "oh hey I need you to go shopping with me" or "oh hey can you...

I think another one I don't get is real people roleplays. Not - oh I'm using Chris Evans as a faceclaim for my characters. But - I'm literally playing the actor Chris Evans in a roleplay. Granted it is usually Youtube Celebrities or what not I see in this type of thing but I'm like.... how do...

lol the point was to write something you don’t get, not to argue for why people write abusive relationship. I get that it’s something other people like. In the same way I get that some people like pickles. Doesn’t mean I can’t still be like “really? It tastes gross.” It just an opinion. Not...

I would say abusive relationships don’t end with people “getting along”. Because you don’t get along with objects. You wouldn’t say “I stole this couch but it’s okay we have learned to make it work. Because your couch doesn’t have feelings or autonomy.” So if wife is nothing more than an...

People who write abusive relationships intentionally. I understand if it’s an accident or people maybe didn’t think about the implications of certain behaviors. But when people are like “I want to write a dark story with this abusive dynamic.” I just don’t understand the appeal. It’s like...

So I think it’s less a question of roleplay partners and more a question of making new friends. So one thing to keep in mind is the danger of rose colored glasses. Where your friendships really so much stronger when you were younger or are you just remembering the good times and forgetting the...

I’m a little confused, could you give an example of what you mean? I don’t think focusing on NPCs is bad as long as it ties into the overall plot. Ex. Character A is trying to find their missing mother. Character B is helping them. NPC is one of mothers old husbands who may or may not know...

Slice of life. I got enough depressing and stressful shit happening in my actual life, why would I want to roleplay about it? Nope I like something fun and low stakes where the biggest issue is just family drama or competing in a sports competition.
