I look for limits (I follow the TOS. Some don't.), if they require pictures, pretty posts or word-counts (none here), if they do romance and look for long-term. I also prefer to rp with those over 18.
One of my one on one roleplays actually reached over 1000 posts, varying in length from one-linersish to 300-400 words a post. It was a "Flirty Step-sibling" scenario. I would have loved to turn it into a book, but something came up with the other roleplayer. She said she had to back out of...
Yes it was. And I am, though it's stuff I have heard before. It's nice to know someone else knows about it. I am also enjoying the individual responses I am seeing. :)
If you google the word "author intrusion" there's a lot of articles on it to help you guys. :) It can explain it better than I can. There's different ways an author can be intrusive in a story.
That's why I said it can depend on the grammar issues. Some readers can be picky though. I hear comments about people coming across grammar issues or loop holes all the time with professional books.
Or should I say what kind of things has a character done that encourages you to get a crush on them? Is it a personality type? The way they describe their appearance? Etc?
Grammar issues are made by the author, which can be disruptive, depending on what the grammar issue is. It reminds the reader they are reading as opposed to creating that dream-like state a book is supposed to put you in.
I am guilty of falling for a character. Or getting a crush on him I should say. When I like a character, and the roleplayer is male, it makes me wonder about the roleplayer themselves.
The author is intruding the story. They're intruding it by placing themselves between the reader and the character, which can wreak of Mary & Gary-Stu perfect characters.
