hello! welcome to the site (o*・ω・)ノ
in my opinion, there's a very diverse community of writers on rpn, and you can find variety in writing styles and preferred genres. i don't think what you're interested in is particularly simplistic, but i'd personally assume stories that are heavily...
omg sorry to just bounce off of your post but putting way too much thought into my chinese names inspired me to get way too involved in teasing my characters' arcs or backstories through their names (now even for non-chinese characters! behindthename my hero (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾)there is nothing...
i'm the type to really love writing romance (especially in 1x1's) and i usually do try to include it in most of my roleplays, mostly because i think it makes a great plot point and adds a lot of pizzazz into character dynamics in ways that other things don't do quite as quickly (apologies to all...
it's really each to their own on this site, imo! like others have said, some love coding, some abhor it — i will say it attracts different folks though! i code, so i have always used extensive coding with all of my checks, because i'd like prospective partners who would ideally looking at coded...
fun little discussion! i'm not sure how much more help i can be on top of the others who've already offered good advice, but i'm giving my two cents anyways (o*・ω・)ノ
1. goji's put a sentiment i've been thinking for years really clearly into words. that said, if you're worried about it, you can...
i've done two roleplays in this arrangement, actually! but a small caveat that they were both done with two close friends, both of whom already knew each other. that said, i have seen interest checks for similar things done in the past, and they've received attention (ᵔ◡ᵔ) if it's a good plot...
i echo syntra's thoughts on the partner who made that comment, just to add a plus one to the people who agree with that perspective!
otherwise, i think i've felt very similar to you many times in the past— i wouldn't consider myself bad at writing, but there have been many times that i've...
as someone who codes, i'm just curious to know where this sentiment that coders or code users feel superior to non-coders comes from;; i feel like i've seen it mentioned in the past too, but i don't think in my years on rpn i've had the misfortune to meet anyone who genuinely feels this way...
i might do something like this:
she fixed him with a deadpan stare, weary expression visible through half-shut eyes. "no way you're serious." her words were met with an uneasy silence that reeked of guilt, and an incredulous laugh slipped from her lips. "you are?"
but as others have...
i see! that said, if i am understanding the prefixes post made by kaerri correctly,, low fantasy (regardless of where it is set) would still get the fantasy prefix, no???
also i’m aware that we’re derailing the thread a little but i would like to clear this up so i don’t tag my rps wrongly 💀💀...
apologies if i am getting this wrong, but isn't harry potter consisted low fantasy, while stuff like lotr is within the realm of high fantasy instead??
is there some aspect of harry potter (beyond it being set in the real world) that takes it out of low fantasy as a category? or do you not...
from what i've seen on my time on this site, i do think you'll be fine either way— most of the time it boils down to everyone's personal preferences, so it's something you can poll with the actual players you end up recruiting for your roleplay (´・ᴗ・ ` ) you could save the pairings you had in...
hi! a lot of the best tips have already been raised by others in the thread, but i wanted to give my two cents anyways ♡
i might be biased as a coder myself, but i don't think using code is necessarily a bad thing. it's more of a "different strokes for different folks" thing-- just be aware that...
apologies in advance if any of what i say is something you've already considered! doing my best to work with what info you've given („• ᴗ •„) hope all this makes sense!
i see! she sounds very lovely; i'm assuming you'll be looking for ways for her to achieve that growth? though with the brevity...
it sounds like you've got really good ideas so far! (´・ω・`) all of the endings seem plausible in their own right, but i can see there's a problem if you're not particularly drawn to one-- they could all fit, but none will be her glass slipper (_ _)
if you've yet to consider this front, have you...
the way i work around the issue is by asking my partners (where i feel it's necessary) for their character's responses to include it in my post so the entire thing reads/flows better, and vice-versa! so you're able to write long paragraphs without having to worry about your dialogue feeling too...
hello dear! (´ ω `♡) since you're looking specifically to improve, xayah's advice is really good! i've found writing with really talented people has forced me to improve as well (just so i don't look like a little clown posting my silly circus performance next to some of the beautiful pieces...
if i remember correctly (not sure what i'm recalling from, though), the whole use of "literacy" specifically to demarcate post length probably came from the distinction on sites where there were roleplayers who would write in text speech/script vs. para writers— i think that's how literate came...
i think people just generally look for a different amount of freedom when it comes to roleplaying, and i personally prefer having something to go off of than having free reign to make whatever character i want. which is why i only participate in group roleplays with roles usually~
to reference...
first-come first-serve reservations i suppose? i've had this discussion before and i think that was the conclusion that amounted to previously, where the way to go was to accept applications based on writing samples so no one really loses out unless they really wanted the roleplay and didn't...
