    Making the "High School" Subgenre Interesting

    Anything can be done. All it takes is a good deal of creativity. Sure! I accept any and all comers, provided they can update relatively frequently.

    Making the "High School" Subgenre Interesting

    The problem there is that, essentially, I needed a rather simple framing device that was also an excuse to constantly push for questions- a place where everyone would both be hiding something and have an incentive to talk to everyone. Naturally, this led to a high school setting, and actually...

    Making the "High School" Subgenre Interesting

    Okay, I'll admit it, the class stuff is mostly there for worldbuilding purposes, and to give people an idea of what they are actually capable of in the setting. Rather than answer a bunch of questions in a rather dull way in OOC, it's more interesting if the characters can actually be seen . . ...

    Making the "High School" Subgenre Interesting

    You want information? I am only happy to provide. Okay, regarding the primary plot, it's extremely hard to get into any of it without spoiling things that will become important, but notable details are that literally everyone is hiding major secrets from day 1, I'll ask my RPers to do the...

    Futuristic Dragonslayers

    Alright, I wrote a story with this premise once (didn't sell well, I had a terrible publicist, who dropped me- now I have no publicist), and believe you me, it's difficult, but workable. Notably, like all greater reptiles, a realistic dragon (the ones you would see in a sci-fi setting) would...

    Making the "High School" Subgenre Interesting

    You have probably seen the veritable armada of RPs set in some variety of unusual high school, which have a tendency to fizzle out in a few weeks or less. As someone drafting an RP to fit into that genre (specifically, one of my most ambitious undertakings yet, which would require at least 23...

    What is your most memorable Mary Sue/Gary Stu character?

    Alright, I've written more than my fair share of overpowered characters, mostly during my stints as DM to provide a plot reason to keep other absurdly powerful characters in line. Most notably, however, have been a few literal reality warpers, most notably among them was a godly psionic with...

    Training Up In Romantic Plots

    Couples' retreat? Explain. Well, that's the thing. All my characters have personalities ripped off of people I have met and psychoanalyzed. Since I am the only asexual I know . . . That's just the thing, though- forum rules dictate no "I don't care" situations, and I don't have any real...

    Training Up In Romantic Plots

    No baggage. I'm just a serious person most of the time. If there's just going to be a train of half-baked cliche-filled romances in RPs, I guess that I don't want to do one. Oh well.

    Training Up In Romantic Plots

    I have RPed as characters who act similarly to myself before- it's because I got bored with being myself that I started RPing as just about every personality type I could think of. I understand entirely what you mean, and I agree I would need a solid partner, but, well . . . I haven't had one.

    Training Up In Romantic Plots

    Thank you for your suggestions, everyone. In order: Acting as myself WOULD NOT END WELL. Due to . . . pressures . . . I've attempted to date on five separate occasions. It never ended well. In fact, this was how I came to realize I was asexual in the first place. As for watching...

    Training Up In Romantic Plots

    I'm going to be blunt: Seeing just how many works here have some degree of romantic involvement between characters, it would be great if I got experience RPing as part of a pairing. In my long years traversing the Internet, I've had to do so repeatedly (as both genders, in pairings with both...

    A Group For RPs

    Sounds like a decent idea. If such a team came into existence, I'd join in a heartbeat. Perhaps represented by way of a kind of membership insignia everyone puts in their sig?
