This is also because people don't understand that "minimal post length" doesn't mean "average post length". In other words, it's supposed to be the lowest low you sink to. When do people sink to their lowest? During rapid-fire action scenes, sex scenes, and dialog scenes, where there is...

That's a healthy attitude. Saying you write as much as needed is a much better response, though perhaps a bit vague.

But do you really? Or are you just saying that because you heard it many times and that's your definition of a "safe" response? Just asked someone how much they usually like to write per post, and they told me something like that. So I asked them next: "So If I write 1000 words, you will...

My origin is roleplayerguild in 2009. However, long before that, I used 'rp' before that on various chatrooms....if one-liners hastily written by a literal child count as roleplay. And after that....many, many places...forums...chatting services...some of which no longer exist. And some of...

Sounds like a compulsive liar. A whole different can of worms. I had an online friend like that. The stories they would tell me were some of the wildest and most creative I've ever heard. They would also forget their lies quite often and change their life story roughly once a year. From...

A guy PMs me. Says he's interested in my 1x1 plot, but 'warns' me about being 'advanced literate' roleplayer with 'years' of experience, who writes as much as several sentences per post. All the while making numerous syntax, punctuation, and capitalization errors. Frankly speaking, many such a...

yeah, but I gave him a chance anyway and he ended up being far less literate than he claimed to be and ghosted me in spectacular fashion by deleting his account on that site earlier today. Or maybe he was deleted. Anyway, nothing of value was lost.

Another thing that I would like to mention is that common advice: "Read out loud what you wrote!" or "Put a comma where you would pause to take a break/breath in!" ....is almost completely useless for people who aren't native English speakers. Why is that? Because even when speaking English...

They do. Most European languages have consistent punctuation rules that are very different from English rules. So this sentence would look like that: Most European languages have consistent punctuation rules, that are very different from English rules. Most European grammars have the concept...

Much better. Getting this kind of description would most certainly quality a pass from me. As opposed to a mere dry description of what the gun is physically doing, divorced from the character's emotional feedback and the context of the scene. Being able to intervene action with the internal...

Or they won't even remember anything other than they were terrified. People in extreme situations aren't aware of what they are doing, that's how accidental gunshots and 100 stab wounds happen. But I digress. For me, if I wanted a writing sample, I'd ask for literally anything. The more the...

This is overly descriptive word padding.

This is actually a proper way to write dialogs in many languages. I wouldn't be hurt by that. However, writing super-long sentences, separated by commas, instead of putting a dot and writing a new sentence, thus creating monsters that spawn entire paragraphs, is quite annoying to read and, more...

Detailed critique without personal attacks. If they get offended by that, it's on them, you did your best.

Someone just wasted my time responding to my 1x1 advert on another site. We brainstormed a plot, and then he dropped a bomb on me: he didn't like the picture I used for character reference. That alone isn't a problem, I can provide a detailed description instead. NO. He wanted me to play one of...

It's perfectly normal that you would like to rp the same character somewhere else if the rp you had before died. And since most rps die before reaching any satisfying point, it's only expected that you would reuse the character you put so much time and thought into over and over again until it...

Read up about how Armia Krajowa and Soviet partisan groups worked, and base your resistance on that. You can also check up on Yugoslavia, which was entirely liberated by partisan uprisings without help from the Red Army.

oh god, this thread reminds me why I stopped roleplaying in the first place
