Ooh thanks for letting me know. Yeah I have definately done that where someone replies within like twenty minutes of the thread going up and I don’t see it for days cuz I forget to bump the thread lol.

So I think most of my inspiration has to be fanfic. It’s a good way to see how you can take an edtabilished world and flesh it out beyond what was in the original source material.

In fact it’s probably better to respond via PMs because the notification system for threads can be finicky. I have had folks respond to my thread before without me getting notified at all. So I usually only find out when I go to bump the thread.

I find it helps to kind of roleplay in my head. So for example I get an idea for a plot twist at work. I will spend the rest of the shift (when I get the time) just roleplaying out what that plot twist might look like. It actually is how I find most of the plot holes I have accidentally...

I don’t think I would notice. I have been doing this long enough to have gotten some pretty bad responses that were one hundred percent written by an actual person as AI simply didn’t exist at the time. So it would be more of a quality question than anything. Can I reply to the post? Then I’m...

I always got the impression that what defined a love triangle versus a threesome was the “Person A has to choose between Person B or Person C.” As that’s where the drama/angst comes in. I think if the ideas is all three individuals end up together it’s more of an accidental threesome. So...

Everyone already gave the post schedule advice I would have. I personally haven’t done groups sense I graduated college specifically because it’s hard to keep up with rapid posts. I also think something to think about is long term interests. It took me a long time to get over this tendency in...

In fairness most peoples only experience with locations is books, TVs and movies. So outside of one major landmark (example the Golden Gate Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, etc.) you are getting pretty generic vibes from every city. Granted that’s cuz for the movies/TV shows your in a...

@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...
