well, my least favourite part is the likes and dislikes section, and it's not even close. the personality and history sections are tough, don't get me wrong. they're the first thing i draft, but the last thing i write final versions for, because they take me ages. however, as it was said...

K las watches as the monster and all of its horrid little legs disappear into the chasm in the dungeon’s floor. Then he watches a little longer after that, just to make sure it’s truly distracted. For a single moment, there is no sound but that of his own, ragged breaths. Back on the surface, a...

Oh man, definitely! The whole can of worms of trying to find and substitute faceclaims for groups that aren't well represented in the modelling world is why I myself avoid IRL faceclaims if given the choice. Among other things, it's a dreadful barrier to making diverse characters, even outside...

I think most of what I wanted to say has already been said by others, but I will add: roleplayers of colour often already roleplay characters that aren't a part of their race/ethnic group, i.e. white people, with almost zero backlash. We're expected to, even — there are more than a few roleplay...

I'll toss in my tentative interest! One question though: is the 400-word post expectation a hard and fast rule, or is it OK if post length fluctuates depending on the scenario?

I'm casting my vote for Mortuus — I'm a sucker for plots with high intensity situations, and the bonds/tensions that can arise in the group as a result. However since it's the one you're least interested in, Westlands sounds equally fun to me ^^

Playing somebody's completely premade and fleshed out character sounds like a nightmare. Not only can I not be expected to be as immersed in somebody else's character as I would be with a character I wrote myself, but as someone who is already constantly worrying about whether my portrayal of my...

Ooh? I've never heard of either of these types of group (though I'm not sure if I could call the 'theme projects' a group considering their scale). I took a quick look myself, and they're really interesting concepts. I think there's a valid point made with the fact that the cross-over between...

Oh, I don't blame you at all! Another reason why I'm on the fence about making an ARP as opposed to a regular one is that even I'm very (very) slow when it comes to producing art, due to issues with executive dysfunction/summoning the courage in the first place. A lot of the time, group event...

Maybe it's worth checking out the genre then! I haven't seen anything as intense as people being required to submit a drawing every post -- like you said, that sounds like a recipe for very rapid burnout. In the groups I've been in, most of the fun comes from drawing other people's characters in...

For clarity, by 'art roleplay', I'm talking about a roleplay group that's primarily text-based and runs exactly as one would expect, except that it also involves secondary art elements: most notably, applicants to an ARP must submit an art application containing a drawing of their character...

This isn't my biggest pet peeve, but it's worth mentioning: people who waffle. Whether it's in roleplay ads or in threads, I've always had a bone to pick with RPers who not only abuse purple prose, but do so just to boast about how much they can write (as if 2000 words of weak writing is better...

Sometimes! I'll read the roleplay threads of strangers if: a) I find that I really like and want to study their writing style, b) they're a prospective roleplay partner, or c) I'm in a group RP and I'm checking whether the roleplay is to my taste.

Aah, I see - thank you!

Hi, RPN noob here. How come when clicking on some members' usernames, it gives me the message "this member limits who may view their full profile"? What setting does one have to activate for that to happen?

Interested! I'm not familiar with Natsume Yuujinchou though - would that be an issue at all?

Having to actually message people and worry about what sort of impression I'm giving off. Brrr! @__@

I definitely agree with other folks telling you to give your idea another shot - but perhaps it's also worth performing a bit of a post-mortem on your previous attempts, and figuring out how you can increase your chances of people sticking around. I'm not 100% sure if you're referring to group...

I'm terrible at getting anything done without some sort of noise in the background, though lately I've been listening more to white noise or ASMR whilst I write (for roleplay) instead of music. I definitely listen to my themed playlists to get me into the right headspace at first! However...
