Sometimes I actually like or even prefer one-liners.
And, aside from that, I absolutely loathe too much lore and/or world-building. I understand that comes down to preferences at the end of the day, of course, but I find that too much groundwork is very tedious. I'd prefer to enter with the...
I once wrote a 1x1 Roleplay with someone on another website. This happened about five years ago and I was in my (second) junior year of high school. I was often buried under mountains of homework from taking mostly AP and Honor courses, but I was able to respond on weekends. Except for one...
Time heals all wounds.
I imagine that this happened not too long ago based on your mention of "recently" and it probably still seems like a huge mess to you. That's okay. Sometimes it takes a little while to bounce back from these matters. Especially when it's related to mental health. It may...
Internet, mostly. I browse websites for naming babies or threads for naming Sims. Sometimes I'll just default to naming my characters after nature or pick a popular name for one gender and give it to the opposite.
With a mixture of cringe and nostalgia. It's always wonderful to see how I've grown, but it never stops me from thinking to myself, "Eugh, I used to write like that?!" It's just a necessary sign of growth, I suppose. There will be days and nights where I'll dedicate all of my time to rereading...
I started on the Pokemon Mystery Universe forums though later shifted to MSN and Chatango in 2009. Eventually, after I became disinterested in those, I switched over to Wikias and Xats. A couple of years passed before I switched to Skype for some time. I started Roleplaying on RoleplayerGuild...
That's unfortunate and I'm really sorry to hear that.
My only other solution may be considered un-ideal at best and pretentious at worst. I've always found that Roleplaying with strangers tends to have too many risks and the best way to avoid ghosting is to somehow befriend other players or...
I'm not sure if you've tried it before or if it would be applicable to your case, but it might be worth suggesting. . Have you ever considered the possibility of pitching a Roleplay concept and asking someone else to GM? I'm not sure if that's a common practice here, but I've seen it here and...
It's hard to know without knowing the exact circumstances, but it doesn't seem you were removed for the quality of your writing. It sounds more like there was a miscommunication involving posting time or speed. Which still sucks, but it happens in the Roleplay world. I wouldn't take it too...
Flower names are the way to go. I have all sorts of characters named after plants or flowers. Dahlia, Iris, Lavender, and so on. I'm currently playing a character named Sage too.
I usually scour baby naming websites until I find a name that I like. I'm also fond of naming my OCs after nature (especially flowers), referencing colors, or names typically assigned to the opposite gender. Either way, I have preference to use names that I can't easily connect back to someone...
I haven't seen this on RPNation yet, but I really hate how people shame others for wanting to write OC x canon ships on other sites. I don't personally partake in those kinds of Roleplays, but I don't see anything wrong with them.
That's how I feel as well. It honestly feels a little odd as a twenty-two year old writing other people's characters, but I've honestly been having so much fun with it lately anyway. I think it's such a shame that we look down on "cringe culture" because it definitely has its time and place...
I started Roleplaying in early 2009.
I had a hybrid experience between Chatango and Pokémon Mystery Universe. As such, most of my OCs were either Pokémon trainers or Pokémon themselves. I branched out to MSN not too long after where I played an aristocratic half-Elf that rode a Pegasus, had a...
Also nachos.
I was most recently craving to write a crossover Roleplay (which I haven't done since I was thirteen). I was always hesitant of experimenting with "cringe culture", but my close friend and I decided to write it anyway. We started it earlier this month and I've honestly been having...
Not exactly AOL, but I was extremely active in MSN Roleplaying communities at some point between 2009 and 2012. That's like the spiritual successor in some ways, right?
