Specifically on my partners end. It typically goes like this: I ask them if they'd like to rp, we start plotting, everything is well. They ask me to post the starter, I do. Then they never reply.
I do my best to simplify things for the rest of the people who wish to interact with my character. As for it to not be overly complicated, as well as try to make it appeal to them. I see what you mean though and I appreciate your feedback.
