    Experiences Whats something you regret doing in a RP, or an embarrassing RP moment?

    I've been roleplaying off and on since 2002. Over the years, I have developed a variety of characters. Back then, I just had two characters when I participated in my first storyline which was of the medieval fantasy genre. The first was a dream self literally because he was a Gary Stu and was...

    Viewpoint Wondering About Tenses...

    I write in past tense unless my characters are doing asides.

    Viewpoint what evokes fear for you in a post?

    I have standards that I've set for myself when I post. Sometimes, I've reviewed a post that I did several postings ago and it doesn't seem quite right. I supposed I'm worried that I've contradicted myself. I did that once. I gave a character's friend's father a name, but when I mentioned the...

    Advice/Help Please Help make AI my friend so I can make pretty pictures!

    Thank you for suggesting Artbreeder. This appears to be quite fun to use. I'm starting to use it to see if I can produce something for my roster of OCs. I once used a website called Hero Machine, but it ran on Flash

    Viewpoint How do you feel about self-inserts? Is it weird for you or just me?

    Years ago, 22 years about, I had a self-insert when I first started to role play. He was a sorcerer king who had all these abilities. He even had the same name as me. I don't remember everything that happened, but I will guess to the best of my recollection. I wanted to introduce another...

    System/Mechanics Short replies?

    If it was done on an IM based service, such as Discord, then I would say short responses are acceptable and encouraged. In this particular venue, I would say the minimum response should be a paragraph. I don't think I have provided a short response that is just a sentence in any storyline I've...

    Experiences Your least liked and favourite part of a Character Sheet to do?

    I'll start off with my least favorite: Face Claims. I don't like them primarily because no depiction fits what I have in mind. If I encountered a genie, I'd make art one of my wishes so I could create drawings on par with comic books. Second least favorite is the personality. Favorite part? I...

    Experiences How did you get here?

    I love this variety of topics. Fair warning. I show my age here. My first exposure to collaborative writing was in 1996 when I was in high school. In the spring if that year, my school launched what was called the Creative Writing Club which was led by our librarian. In the fall, we did...

    Experiences What was the most memorable roleplay you've ever had?

    There are three candidates for various reasons. The first candidate was memorable because it was my first foray in the the world of online forum roleplaying. I clearly would have done things differently if the present day me was doing the roleplaying. First and foremost, I would have been...

    Experiences Longest Roleplay?

    Hmm. Maybe two years with Red Ground Tavern & Inn which was the first RP storyline I ever participated in. This was in 2002. Maybe a year and a half into the storyline, the board that hosted it got hacked and all the progress was lost. The original GM had left long before then so the co-GM had...

    Advice/Help How do you store and keep track of your OCs?

    What I've been doing recently is use Microsoft Word docs. A couple are called [character name] bible to keep track of everything pertaining to that character. Another file is called Lore because it's not just a character sheet. It is an actual world building situation in which I've been canon...

    Experiences How many OC's do you have?

    I've retired a couple characters over the years. I have two characters that are very fleshed out, another who is kinda fleshed out, and then a few others that I am trying to use for roleplay but they aren't as defined. I'll say no more than a dozen OCs.

    Experiences What was your first roleplay experience, and how old were you when you started roleplaying?

    I do enjoy reminiscing about my roleplaying past. I had my first true roleplay experience in 2002 when I was 23. It was on a board called Medaverse and the storyline was called Red Ground Tavern and Inn. It was a standard medieval fantasy setting and we used D&D style character sheets with...

    Viewpoint What is your opinion on Original Roleplays?

    I have never participated in a fandom storyline because of havinf to work with preexisting canon and possible interaction with canon characters. I much rather prefer original characters in original settings. I don't mind a take on a theme. Years ago, I participated in a 1x1! storyline that was...

    Viewpoint What type of Roleplaying do you personally prefer and why?

    I like 1x1 because it's better to manage and exchange replys. Group storylines are enjoyable since there are multiple participants. However, have an instance of a participant who stops posting, it puts.future posting at risk because non-posting can become infectious. If different participants...

    Viewpoint Do you like to listen to music while writing?

    I do sometimes. I have an iPod that I use. I did use an old iPhone that I used Pandora on but I don't have access to that phone anymore and I don't like my phone's volume levels. Even at the lowest level, some channels sound too loud to me when I use earbuds.

    Experiences How old were you when you first started roleplaying?

    To quote Dumont from the movie Tron, "Yes, I'm old." I was 17 during my first foray into collaborative writing. This was in 1996 when I was in high school. I was a member of the Creative Writing Club. We had a special user name set up so we get get into the same file and write our part in the...

    Other Best Fantasy Races and Why

    Hmm. Interesting question and I'll try to answer as best as I can as it applies to me. Overall, I would say werewolves. I enjoy contemplating their blended lives. Not human and not wolf either, but marshalling the resources and appearances of both. In a true fantasy setting, I like minotaurs...

    Other What is the number one reason you stop replying to, or stop participating in roleplays?

    I do not recall an instance where I have ghosted someone. My answer to the question of reason I stop replying or stop participating in the storyline is that other people stop posting. I've had to learn to let go. A storyline where there hasn't been a post in a week, especially in a group...
