There was no way to to guess what direction was the right one, no glowing lines or convenient drafts blowing down the halls, no journal from the skeleton of a dead explorer, and no whispers from the divine powers that abandoned them. The group explored this hallway and that hallway over there...

GREATER GOOD: SWORDS AND PAPERWEIGHTS The operation was a success but the patient died on the table, the doctor almost laughed at the morbid cliche. It would go down as one of the strangest, most impromptu surgeries he completed in his career, but a resounding success in the end. He knew...

SCREAMING BEETLES: SWIRLING PAINT Urr hated beetles because they burrowed in his armor. Skitter skitter skitter, chatter chatter chatter, all day the beetles screamed in his ears. When he saw one he crushed it with a thunk and sometimes with a klunk, and when a beetle really needed killing...

Sorry man but this is hilarious. Someone verbally agreeing to hit 500 words is not as comprehensive as seeing their work. Like if you were hiring a writer for some reason, you would check their portfolio. That's how you would measure their ability to write, in the same way that post history...

WRETCHED THINGS: ENDLESS CURIOSITY Heroes were like moths drawn to the bonfire outside, one by one swelling the town into a convention. It was the worst company for him to find himself in, but thankfully he was an experienced chameleon. That's how he survived in a world of dogmatic...

HIDDEN MEANINGS: APOTHECARIUM SALVE The crusader would never understand the irony of his words. There was no man beyond saving when divinity was invoked, changing them into something better, stronger and more resilient. That was the power of manipulating life and death like a puzzle set...

There's an epidemic of "me me me" in OOCs. Just be the change ya wanna see. If you ask a bunch of questions maybe they'll reciprocate, or realize that its a two way street and change their ways later on.

To anyone who uses word count minimums, why not read applicant post histories? Skim their last three posts and you'll know what level of writing they bring to the table. Instead of using word quotas that don't protect you from bad writing. Case in point When I was my absolute worst version of...

A FEAST FOR CARRIONS: SURVIVE AND ESCAPE One week ago The smoke accompanied the sweetness of death and decay, a feast for carrions like the man in the tower. He looked through a shattered window made of many colors; shards of red speared from the frame like wet blades, broken images of one...

Yep, classic case of GMs thinking a group writes for them not with them. Thankfully they've weeded themselves out over the years.

Role:  Banished Race: Human Name: Pythias the Eldar Age: 157 Years Pronouns: He/Him/It Gender: Male Sexuality: Was heterosexual, now asexual for... reasons. Alignment: Evil but pragmatic Personality/Backstory: Pythias was born in a small town in the Prigalla Empire. He grew up with a sense of...

I don't think asking for variety is rolescumming, personally. You're not boxing people into a rigid position by denying one character type. I think that's the healthy medium between a free for all and preset roles. That said my opinion is only worth two cents 🤣

Lmao prepare to see throwing knives and Gordon Ramsey one liners. (Mostly kidding) If you have roles then yup, you may have been finessed, or maybe they'll be fantastic. I just know people see RPs they like but don't see a role they want to write, so they make someone who technically "fits"...

Pre selected roles that writers need to fill, can't stand it. How dare we have TWO cooks on the same boat!! Unacceptable conditions and trash RP. It always strikes me as ridiculous because in these stories, how often do we actually narrate the mundane work tasks for their role? In your...

I have an OC called Kaiden who is a curse upon RPs. I've introduced him into four RPs that were in progress, and each died immediately afterwards. We're talking daily posts reduced to nothingness within days of introducing him. I've never been more sure of a curse in my life. Man has the...

Escape the future

Between Macragge swamps and Elriel's mother, there were few places Zak hadn't been. However a whale was beyond even his experiences. He'd never been inside one and that was dissapointing in retrospect. They were spacious and warm with floors that felt like rubber, and he couldn't help bouncing...

The beast had been too focused on everyone besides Ava; its carelessness would cost in blood. Her sword cleaved its weakened leg and thick brackish fluids, turned black with foul corruptions, sprayed across the gunmetal floor. The creature spun around punching with wild abandon, elbows popped...

"I praise your unique candor," he said to the woman. He drank to their new partnership with the raising of his glass, even though it was built on poor grounds. He didn't trust the man but what he did trust, even if the reason was quite weak, was that she could influence him. Naturally he...

Huracan pressed his mouth and moaned a word into his palm, some kind of foreign curse in response to the boy. Abaranne smacked his shoulder and answered Bryn with a smile. "Your friend will regret this. Though he will be restored to you in the morning." Her eyes danced as vines crept around...
