Thank you! I've drawn up a layout for the overarching plot of the book but I haven't tried that for the first chapter/the beginning - I might do that. I can usually be a lot more productive when I have a solid plan so perhaps the same thing applies to writing.
Thank you for taking the time to...
Well it's a solo project, so I don't have a partner to bounce off of or to keep me motivated. It's not exactly that I'm not making ANY progress, either, though - I just sit and rewrite the first pages over and over but it always feels wrong. The characters are boring, the setting isn't detailed...
1) What is justice to you?
Justice isn't necessarily "an eye for an eye" - it's people getting what they deserve according to how morally right or wrong what they did was.. but you can't murder someone for murdering someone xD
2) What is victory to you?
Accomplishing a goal that's important to...
I like this idea a lot! My post was originally intended to be about creatively writing on my own, so it's fine that it's not necessarily a tip that works for roleplaying. I tend to get fixated on the very beginning, then frustrated when I can't get it to come out right, which causes me to often...
Hello, friends! I'm afraid the title is a bit misleading - getting started is hard as hell. I can have an entire plot line drawn up, characters worked out, have everything in line, and then I sit down to write, and...

nothing comes out.
How do you guys deal with this? When you know...
Hello all! I'm aware this thread probably already exists somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so here I am.
The title is pretty self explanatory - rant to me about the worst roleplay experience you've ever had. Was it sad? Disappointing? Frustrating? Just plain weird? I wanna know.
Here, I'll go...
Personally, I like to know everything.
Not just the most important things, like their personality, their past, but also the little things, like their favorite color, what foods they can't stand, what bones they've broken, their biggest phobia. I want to become that character so I can write them...
Gosh, that's awful, I'm sorry that had to happen to you. I would say discuss how you feel with her (though it would seem you already did), and if she still refuses to be sincere and apologize or change her actions then you need to take some time away, maybe even let the roleplay go entirely. If...
Honestly the Hunger Games series gave me a love for dystopian genres, along with the wonderful writing of Suzanne Collins I would say I learned a lot from those books. I read them years ago but it's still one of the best things I've ever read.
Also, you already said this but Turtles All The Way...
Those are good words but they don't work in the context of the sentence.. "pushed back the ____ blankets". Something like a cross between "typical" and "rations" and I swear I'm not imagining this xD
omg there's already a thread for this
quarantine has blocked all blood flow to my brain xD
the word i am searching for means an item that is provided to everyone, like "rations" or "provisions", something that meets only the basic needs for survival. i'm writing a dystopian novel at the moment...
The longest group roleplay was around 1.5-2 years.
It ended because it was created on a website not initially intended for roleplaying, and eventually the site rules got stricter about what they allowed in the comments. Basically, we were forced to either move, quit, or be kicked off entirely...
