I tend to not get too attached to my OCs. I might have them pop up as background characters in future stories (a little Easter egg for myself) but otherwise I just put em in my archive of roleplay ideas that didn’t get started and keep moving on.

So there are two major problems I see right off the bat. 1. Your over explaining action which kills the momentum of the scene. Imagine it like a scene in a TV show where they just zoom in on random parts of the room for several seconds at a time. Is it really important that we know how many...

So for me it’s a consistency issue. I am a very visual person so I need the visuals to be similar or it breaks immersion for me. For instance if your watching a TV show and suddenly one of the character becomes animated but all the other characters are live action that is jarring. Now some TV...

It reminds me of my fanfic days when people would have beta readers. Part of their job was to proof read but also act as a sounding board for the writer. I feel like a lot of slower paced roleplayers or folks who like world building would benefit from that. Because I can come up with one shots...

@Chordling Oh I definitely feel that. I think a lot of my early roleplays were really tied up in friendship. Not necessarily IRL friendships, although I certainly had a lot of them at the time, but also my early partners were mostly friends. I had folks I talked to for years at a time that have...

lol I think we're kind of codependent. At least if you ask my sisters who are always like -- "Girl put your foot down." I'm like "I try! I do. But she says no...and I don't really have a good follow up." As you can imagine I am the fun aunt because I'm just like... as long as it's not...

In fairness we do get along pretty well 95% of the time, and the times we clash I'm not sure I would do any better with a roommate. Maybe we wouldn't argue about the exact same things but it would still be little petty things. Plus I love my mom but she's at an age and of a temperament where I...

I think for me the biggest issue isn't even my job since that's pretty set hours each week. It's when I get home and I think I can finally get to writing a reply only for my mom to be like "oh actually I need to use the computer" or "oh hey I need you to go shopping with me" or "oh hey can you...

I think another one I don't get is real people roleplays. Not - oh I'm using Chris Evans as a faceclaim for my characters. But - I'm literally playing the actor Chris Evans in a roleplay. Granted it is usually Youtube Celebrities or what not I see in this type of thing but I'm like.... how do...

lol the point was to write something you don’t get, not to argue for why people write abusive relationship. I get that it’s something other people like. In the same way I get that some people like pickles. Doesn’t mean I can’t still be like “really? It tastes gross.” It just an opinion. Not...

I would say abusive relationships don’t end with people “getting along”. Because you don’t get along with objects. You wouldn’t say “I stole this couch but it’s okay we have learned to make it work. Because your couch doesn’t have feelings or autonomy.” So if wife is nothing more than an...

People who write abusive relationships intentionally. I understand if it’s an accident or people maybe didn’t think about the implications of certain behaviors. But when people are like “I want to write a dark story with this abusive dynamic.” I just don’t understand the appeal. It’s like...

So I think it’s less a question of roleplay partners and more a question of making new friends. So one thing to keep in mind is the danger of rose colored glasses. Where your friendships really so much stronger when you were younger or are you just remembering the good times and forgetting the...

I’m a little confused, could you give an example of what you mean? I don’t think focusing on NPCs is bad as long as it ties into the overall plot. Ex. Character A is trying to find their missing mother. Character B is helping them. NPC is one of mothers old husbands who may or may not know...

Slice of life. I got enough depressing and stressful shit happening in my actual life, why would I want to roleplay about it? Nope I like something fun and low stakes where the biggest issue is just family drama or competing in a sports competition.

Communication and luck. Luck covers the things that are outside your control like your partners schedules, real life illnesses, clashing personalities, etc. Sometimes you start an idea with every intention of following through but you realize that you don’t have enough free time, you get sick...

There isn’t really any beginner specific section although I do recommend starting with 1x1 style roleplay if your just starting out. You can post an interest :: 1x1 Interest Checks Just put the following information ;; “ hey I’m new and I am looking for some roleplay partners. I am...

Yeah I would say when it comes to post the length is less important than the content. Most people aren’t going to take the time to put your post in a word counter to determine if you hit an arbitrary number. Instead they want to know what their character can respond to in the post. Is their...

So I actually think anxiety is a big part of why roleplays fall through. Because are too anxious to communicate with their partners when something is wrong and so they just stop talking to their partners. It doesn’t really bother me but I can understand how it’s frustrating to be like “well...

It depends on what the writing is for. If this is meant to be a standalone solo story than sure it’s got enough of an arc to be complete. If it’s meant to be a roleplay post then once again your putting emphasis on the wrong part of writing. Roleplay isn’t about completing a storyline by...
