I've seen the downside of this. Years ago, in another roleplay community I was a part of someone would post a newsletter/blog about all things roleplay. Some people rattled off names of people considered good roleplays and bad roleplayers to the creator. These people would later go on to have...
I get beyond excited when someone messages me for roleplay, especially when it's something I have been craving. But, I find it hard to press forward with a partner who does not match my energy. Like they're not excited or thrilled, they're just kind of drab and give kind of bland responses when...
Biggest. Pet. Peeve.
I had a partner who once told me she couldn't start our roleplay because she was watching something "important" on television. Uh, okay.
A recent acquaintance of mine had me do all the work for our roleplay, this includes writing the starter, only to leave the conversation without a word. Dude, if you're going to waste people's time, don't even bother contacting them.
I love romantic relationships as much as the next person, but I wish I could explore more platonic storylines. Subjects like best friends, or found family are a favourite of mine.
When it seemed like you and your partner were vibing, until you see they left the conversation without a word. Dude, what did I do? 🥴 All I said was should we exchange character information before we plot further. I’m too old for this.
When you purpose an idea for your character and your partner ignores it in favour of their own which contradicts the character as a whole. 😑I was nice about it the first time. But now I am angry.
It seems a lot of people are having the same problem. Not too long ago, I met a potential long-term partner here; they had a great prompt I was dying to try. I adored their characters and they seemingly adored mine. We plotted for days before moving to Discord. I replied to their starter and...
Yep, my friend surprised me and saved our first roleplay. Every single last post, I was pleasantly surprised. Though we have moved on to other storylines, it's both nice and nostalgic to look back. ☺️
I mention at least three times in my ads that I am a slow replier due to real-life obligations and my abundance of health issues. Therefore, if someone wants warp speed replies, then I am not the partner for them. So, why do I keep getting people who ask me to roleplay, then get pissed when I...
I can only speak for myself here, but the reason I prefer a partner who can play multiple genders is that there have been too many times where someone wanted me to play all of the male characters. Or just male characters. I wasn't allowed to have a say in the matter. Which is not only...
I personally believe it adds a realistic atmosphere to the narrative (if that makes sense). Characters are not going to be happy all the time, if they were the story would be somewhat dismal don't you think? Another explanation I have seen thrown out there is that people like to explore the...
This has probably been preached to death, but I wish people would be more upfront about roleplay. What I mean is don't request a partnership and then poof out of existence. Or promise that you're going to reply but never do. Just tell me you don't want to roleplay anymore or you can't. It's...
I don't know about anyone else, but I hate when someone contacts me for roleplay, says they're interested, but instead of saying "Yes, this is what I was interested in from your ad" and then proceed to drop their ad in front of me. Like huh?
People who say, oh yes I read your rules and I respect everything. Including your need for more time to reply, don’t worry take all the time you need.
Seconds later. So, are you still interested you haven’t been replying.

This is supposed to be a collaboration between us, but quite frankly it seems more about what you want than me. I show you my OC, but you reject her. You want me to twist her to your liking, but I don’t want to because (a) it contradicts her as a whole and (b) at this point she isn’t mine...
The feeling when you slaved over your OC information despite being swamped with school and battling an illness, only to find out your partner deleted everything without a word. Yeesh, it says in my request thread that I'm slow if you don't like that then tough.
