    Viewpoint What you cannot stand in characters?

    Haha, that's the total opposite of what I do! Like, I do look up names when I play in a historical setting, but even then, I mostly choose the name within ten minutes or so. For fantasy settings, I... tend to choose random words from my native language. They sound exotic in English and I get to...

    Experiences People who take RP far too seriously

    OK, I have a dumpster fire story of my own. Basically, in one of my old RP communities, there was this guy who fell in love with a girl. She rejected him because, upon him sending her his photos, she judged he wasn't her type. The guy proceeded to create like five or six different accounts...

    Viewpoint What you cannot stand in characters?

    I cannot stand it when a character is boring and has no motivation to be in the story. I'd much rather play with dark edgelords and Mary Sues than with someone without a personality.

    Viewpoint Unpopular roleplay opinions?

    I dislike character sheets, too, for the sole reason that I find writing them to be boring. I don't enjoy writing about my characters; it's more fun to see the world through their eyes, so to speak, and influence the plot. Like, I want to get to the good stuff right now. It has also happened to...

    Advice/Help Female Character Written By Males. The Good The Bad.

    That's literally it. There are no intrinsically 'female' traits. Just don't be creepy with descriptions and you'll be fine. I feel silly for even mentioning this, but it is something I've seen some male players do. Like, they will describe a female character with in a manner that feels weird...

    How do you feel about Novella roleplay?

    I used to write novella-style posts. I don't do that anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm still able to produce very long posts, but I only do it when such length is justified. My main problem with novella-style roleplaying is that when you write extremely long replies all the time, character...

    Advice/Help Maintaining interest in roleplays

    Alright, so I don't have ADHD, but I do tend to get bored easily, so maybe my experiences will help you: 1) Always plan ahead. Every roleplay inevitably has its slower moments, but if you have something epic to look forward to, it's easier to get through scenes that are not as exciting but...

    Advice/Help How do I force myself out of a writer's block?

    Depends on why you feel that you can't write. If you're anything like me - and that's a big if, but I can only really help if I am familiar with the situation, so I'm gonna use myself as a reference - it's probably due to one of the following reasons: 1. Perfectionism You don't want to write...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    Sure, it is Czech. I think - and this is just my theory, based on pure speculation - that languages which can omit the subject of a sentence favor epithets more than those that cannot do so. In English, constant I, I, I doesn't sound bad because you have to say it in order to be grammatical...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    You know, this is interesting. In my native language, repetition is considered a mark of poor style, even when it comes to names/pronouns. As a result, people use epithets a lot. I've been thinking about English and how it seems to handle repetition better, but it hasn't occurred to me that...

    Experiences What is one thing that makes you go “Damn, this partner is a keeper”?

    When they're invested in the story! That's possibly the most important thing to me in a roleplay. It's partly why I write with people rather than alone; it's just fun to get excited over a thing together.

    Viewpoint What is one thing you wish to roleplay, without getting judged?

    I guess I kinda understand you. I like playing unrepentant assholes no sane human being would like to have a relationship with, but somehow, people take it as a cue to try and romance her. I do enjoy some romance here and there if it is well-executed, but not when I am playing this type of...
