I find that 2-3 paragraphs is pretty reasonable for a reply. By the time you have your character’s actual dialogue and actions, a bit of description, and some internal monologue you have usually written at least that much.
Also many games involve multiple points of view which will cause your...
I think it has more to do with the media than anything. Rp is an interactive experience so it stands to reason that people who aren't participating in the rp would be less interested in it than in other forms of media more focused on non interactive consumption. Most of the time if I read an rp...

Myrta gave excellent advice. If you want to be a professional writer then you will have to accept that people will say harsh things about your work. Even if what they say is not particularly constructive criticism you still need to try to get whatever benefit you can from it. That is not to say...
Hello all,
I was hoping people could recommend me some anime. I do like anime but a lot of the most common tropes really turn me off of many of the popular shows. I would prefer scfi, fantasy, or some sort or supernatural element to the show but if it's really really good I might watch a show...
I actually sent a pm but I decided to post some of it here just in case someone is lurking and finds something helpful in it.
1) There is tons and tons of information on plot structure out there. But really no matter what people choose to name stuff it follows a shockingly close structure. If...
I'll be happy to discuss plots with you. I'm on my phone at the moment so I'll wait till I get home to send more but generally.
1 plots follow a sort of build up, climax, resolution cycle. For longer stories you will have many mini cycles that make up a bigger one. I'll link you some...
I don’t put any stock at all in character sheets. I would rather have a short story showing a moment in the characters life prior to the rp. To me that tells a lot more about who they are than a Google image pic, height / weight, what their hair looks like, ect. As for how I like to make my...
This was an in person game. It had every bad rp trope in the book, but the worst of all was this one scene when the party was captured. They were supposed to fight in this big gladiatorial event. Well on the way into the arena the players rushed one of the guards and took his weapon. It was one...
Although I don’t know if it would fit your plot a lot of "out of order" stories, pulp fiction, cloud atlas, ect. will follow a sort of ABCDDCBA type structure.
Hmm I don’t know if this quite gets us there either. Many works we call sci-fi are no more extrapolations of real world physics, technology, and politics than ones we call fantasy. The characteristics of a setting really shouldn’t define the genre a story goes into. Take an old samurai move...
