I just got my hopes crushed yet again. The Roleplay never even got started. I think I'm just gonna step away from the website for a while. It shouldn't be this hard to find a partner.

I have been on and off the site for years, I have experience with rps starting, running and dying.Not sure if I'll even come back. I've been here for a while now and nothing.

I'm definitely guilty of falling into the "I'm picky" camp myself. I blame my short attention span - for something to truly keep my interest I have to be REALLY into it. Because of this I have more or less accepted that I won't find too many RP partners.T The Random Fox
So, I 'd like to offer some consolidation that the problem isn't expressly you or your RPs. But also, I'd like to point out that the issues don't lie solely on the site. It's easy to blame the venue. But really, that isn't the problem. It won't matter where you go, you aren't going to find your prospects to be much better than what we have here on RPN. In fact, having been on a dozen roleplaying sites over the decades, I can tell you that your prospects elsewhere will very likely be worse than what you've encountered here. RPN actually has a lot more traffic than most other RP sites of its kind.
The thing it, it IS that hard. There are lots of reasons, but in the end I chalk it off to people being overly picky and having no commitment to their RP ideas. And generally, I think a lot of people like the IDEA of roleplaying but don't actually want to put in the time and effort that it requires.
Thet's why you always get everyone chiding in with their interest, and then that's it. No follow through. Welcome to the fickle and flakey nature of this latest generation of roleplayers.
I'm picky in that way, myself. I have very few fandoms, and the ones I do have are... well, dated. The genres I'm into are pretty specific, too. Although in my opinion, I feel that some of my non-fandom wants are actually quite simple and generic. And I'm always puzzled as to why I can't find things like them. There are a lot of popular themes that I avidly avoid. So trying to keep me interested in settings outside my comfort zone is an uphill battle. To all these ends, I too am very picky as well.I'm definitely guilty of falling into the "I'm picky" camp myself.
