It's pretty much what everyone else has said, none of the characters are real and they're fighting amongst themselves, so none of you should be upset with the outcome. It's okay to feel some level of guilt, as long as it doesn't start affecting your enjoyment of things. First time I did anything...
As a female that plays whatever the heck I want and no longer has any sort of comfort zone because of how much I experiment and am willing to experiment, I honestly see no issue with this at all. I do understand that in a 1x1 you have a bigger connection to the other writer as well, which isn't...
Since I've been summoned, might as well add my two cents to things in this page >3<
Starting byyyyy:
As someone who keeps coming to manipulation powers, I thought I'd add to this. Yes, just like something like Telekinesis (which I remember a fellow member of AEGIS having a pet peeve with)...
I'm glad to know I did my job right XD Look, if I must suffer, you'll all gonna suffer with me... (My poor kiddos)
For me, it was AEGIS, it's a superhero academy RP and the bad guys were religious zealots that believed the supers were demons. So they attacked the school and things got really...
When they seem as excited about character exploration as I am! It's a person that's worried about the plot but also worried about the proper characterization of the character they're playing. You can go hours and hours just thinking about scenes that might never happen with them and it's a...
I find it easier to say anything (typed or spoken) in English. Why is that? Well, English is in a lot of things I like! The PlayStation games were in English with English subtitles, a lot of series, Tokusatsus and so on only ever got translated to English and my own dad was part of a translation...
You've met my big 4 archetypes before on AEGIS: The nice, naive yet fierce hero type; The rational, logical type; The fun and games type; and the meek, dismayed type. The big 4 are the bases for most of my characters with added twists or a mix between them, but the base elements remain. There's...
Backstory. As in, I know what I want to write but picking the right words to convey what's in my mind and conjuring it into a written form is incredibly hard, grinding work. I am a messy thinker, the kind of person whose mind builds things up piece by piece in a whim and without a nexus, leaving...
I've talked about this in more detail before, but it started like a normal Warrior Cats 1x1 RP on Skype for two replies and then suddenly my partner was sorta suggesting for the cats to fuck...
Their response to me? "What else would you expect in a hot spring?"
And then I cut it completely...
I don't mind RP'ing on other mediums (chats such as Skype and Discord, DeviantArt notes...) but the forum medium will always have the advantage over the other mediums by the simple fact that I can use colors to indicate speech. Sure, I could bold it instead or start a new line, but I don't know...
I try not to... I've once pinpointed my limit of RPs to have at the same time to 8, lately, I've been dropping it to 4 or 5 alongside AEGIS, which is a big HP where I take part into multiple threads at once. The problem is, no matter how careful I am, I'll eventually let things accumulate...
THIS, this is also me. I guess I'm just never actually satisfied with anything I do and it bugs me at times. If I'm in a better mood I may just call it enough after fussing with a same post for 3 to 5 hours, or I just post once I'm done before the dreadful sensation of 'not good enough' can...
That I'm writing too much but not saying enough in it. I have a very specific, slow method of doing things that consists in acknowledging what has changed, ponder and react and only then, finally add something to it.
Not the most practical method in the book and it tends to make the pace...
I always have long backstories, at this point, I'm probably known for not being able to be concise with my writing. Which is a problem to those who don't want to read 4 to 5 paragraphs... I just get waaaay into it I guess, they're quite fun to do!
Funny running into this thread, I was...
I agree with everything that was said, I just want to add something.
There's a fun side to writing a character of different nationality which is, occasionally having them burst into their native tongue when the moment calls for it. I have an Italian character that does not swear in English and...
This is pretty good and really, the differences aren't that much when you look at it.
Still, I'm gonna leave my two cents here because they could be helpful. I've seen the whole thought pattern between genders discussion above and it made me think about how I differentiate them, we'll, kinda...
"Practice makes perfect!" and with writing it really shows through~
It's that thing we say to differentiate 'Talent' and 'Skill'. Writing, as well as drawing, is something that relies on experience more than any 'innate' aptitude, it's a skill. The more you do it, the better you develop it and...
I'm pretty much just reinforcing what the other two just said, but really, just let it flow! Don't worry whether it was something and now it's something else...
Think of your writing as a living being, it grows, it develops, it changes and that's absolutely normal!
Instead of looking back and...
