Passive vs active shouldn't be the issue. I've written with passive voice users (I use active voice, mostly), and they've given me plenty of juicy stuff to reply to. You can't ask them to not write in passive or active because most sentences are either passive or active when you write, aha. So...

Passive voice is when the subject is acted upon in writing (to put it simply, active and passive throw me in a loop sometimes), so not the right terminology to my awareness but I catch your gist. Hm, this is a toughy. One thing I think helps is being upfront with your partner, so, perhaps when...

So, I'm curious, as someone who has mental illness and has experienced drug addiction first hand, is it okay for me to write about these things? To me, writing about them isn't romanticizing and I'll cut off anyone WHO does because these are not things to be romanticized. I only ask because I...

True, true. Often a character that will never be redeemed. Another thing I have to wonder, is edgy always bad? It seems edgy has a very bad connotation. It's an interesting thing that has popped up. The kill for no reason character drives me a little up the wall. It's not usual for someone to...

You know, I tend to wonder what constitutes an uber edge lord character for other people. When do things become TOO edgy? I'd like to see what you guys define as edge lord characters. Throw everything at me.  And for some side info, how does one AVOID creating an overly edgy character?  For...

Not yet but damn, if one of them has it coming. Soon, pal, soon. I actually like that element as an ending to a shorter or long-term RP.  if you count dice RP games though welp, uh, lots of deaths there through my own fuckery. 

You know, this is where I'll toss up the Hemmingway App as a suggestion even though it can be... off sometimes, so take it with a grain of salt. It is made in mind for more compact, shorter prose so it will point out when you have some very lengthy sentences. It'll label it from hard to read...

Well, check out the Looking For Partner 1x1 thread to see if anything catches your fancy. Try to see what it is you want in a 1x1. Often times, if I can't come up with plots I'll browse on sites like Tumblr where people share plots/prompts that you may use. I've actually only been RPing with one...

Well, my writing process has become easier. Now I just do all my documents in Grammarly. Which helps because I'm not focused so much on fixing everything right then but rather getting a draft out, which is my weakness. Then I'll do a reread because it's not perfect. I will still run it through...

Oh, oh god, no point in cauterizing a stitched up wound unless he hated his patient. Tourniquets people! Put them extremities in a tourniquet! Not that it fits ALL situations but it's more likely than cauterization. We use tourniquets pre-hospital as well. Learn a lot medically from the wars...

To be fair, while it's not a common practice, cauterizing a bullet wound in the hospital can happen if they need to stop the bleeding quickly and can't access the area. There are better alternatives but in the medical field our ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) come first so hell yes if it's...

All I can think of is this scene in Heavy Rain happening in an RP with a character with a very low dexterity.  

Was this the Sims 4? Think of how a RP could spiral out of control just like in the Sims.  One time I left my sim game unpaused on accident and came back and my sim was dead : ( RIP.

Okay, so I was thinking heavily about this (during a time of little sleep) and I want to do a roleplay that is bog-standard modern but set up with skills/dice rolls in say, a DnD format. So, say your character is tasked to make a sandwich but OH NO, he rolled a one. He has somehow managed to...

It's nice seeing we've got a strong mix of confident to moderately confident. There's nothing wrong with having confidence issues, it's something you work to build on and improve. I'll flip through all of the feelings I put in the poll besides VERY confident. My style will vary a lot as well...

Yes! I think one of my issues as of late is the transition from first to third. I am used to First-person, with third, I feel there is more room with scenery as you said. I alter between a style with more scenery porn and one more simple. It's a matter of experimentation.  Realistically, we do...

I'm curious how all you lovely folks feel about your writing skills. Does low self-esteem run rampant here? Or high self-esteem? Maybe a decent mix of the two? We can also discuss techniques that can be used to build the confidence you have in your writing. I think that would prove helpful for...

Long process and somewhat tiring process for me. I have recently taken up using the Hemmingway app, keeping in mind it's not perfect for every style of writing.  Basically, I start up in MSword in a document assigned for drafts. I may start using your technique with Notepad @Collidias Rex ...

It can get so complicated, aha. I've seen many great authors break the "rules". If you know what you're doing, there is room to play.
