Oh. And God-modding. That's always the worst.

1. Smut. Honestly, nothing will make me lose interest faster in an rp than smut. It's just so tedious to me and it feels like that's all anyone wants to play. I'm here for the story, not to write characters having sex. I prefer fade to black if necessary.
2. Forced romance. I swear, I can't count the number of rps I've had people describe to me that absolutely must include our characters falling in love. I'm not against romance by any means, but I'll turn down any and every role play that requires it. If it happens naturally over the course of playing, that's fine! If it never develops, that's fine too! What's so wrong with playing characters who are just friends?
3. Huge age gaps in relationships. Sorry, my thirty-year-old character isn't interested in your barely legal newly eighteen-year-old.
4. People demanding that I tell them if I'm stepping away for a few hours or going to bed. I'm sorry, but I don't have to do that and neither do you. If I won't be able to post for more than a few days, I'll absolutely mention it so you aren't left wondering what's going on, but beyond that, I don't need your permission to go about my life.
5. Ridiculous post requirements. I typically write between one and three paragraphs, but if a post really inspires me, I might do more. It's annoying when people expect four+ paragraphs every time. Personally, I get bored when I have to read massive posts.
6. Anime face claims. I don't know why, but these just bug me. I don't mind using realistic face claims if they're needed, but I prefer just describing the characters.
7. Demanding that bust size and underwear be included in descriptions of a character. That just makes me twitchy and sends me in the other direction.
8. Animal and anthro rps. They hold absolutely no interest for me. (Though I do have a fondness for werewolves.)
9. Japanese terms where they aren't necessary. It just throws me off.
10. Demanding things be coded in a particular way. I stink at coding. Please don't make me code.
11. Godmodding. Need I explain?
12. Being expected to play a canon character because someone wants to see if they can hook up their OC with them. I don't play canon characters at all because I'm just more comfortable playing my own creations. I don't care if you play canon characters. Have at it if that's what you want to do!
13. People who freak out over typos. They happen. I figure as long as we can figure out what each other is trying to say, that should be good enough.
14. Rudeness from the other player. If you can't be civil to me, I can't play with you.
I'm sorry that got so long. I didn't realize I had so many deal breakers until I started listing them. I'm not that hard to rp with. Really!
Not frequently, but I've noticed it comes up more often than you'd thinkPeople really ask for bust size/underwear in character descriptions? How is that at all necessary???? Lmao

Nope. Especially when that's usually implied anyway, either through the character's description or their reference picture (Whichever one's used)I just wonder why it's asked at all tho. It doesn't really contribute anything to the character whether they got big honkers or not.

She breasted boobily down the stairs.
It's an in joke from the literary world about how male writers describe women. There is a lot of gratitious mentions of breasts and posing like you're on the cover a comic book.
I'd ask if that term was really used in a book somewhere, but sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was XDIt's an in joke from the literary world about how male writers describe women. There is a lot of gratitious mentions of breasts and posing like you're on the cover a comic book.
Indecision and passiveness, a bad combination for me. Also, they say they're fine with anything but if you pitch ideas...."Oh no, I kind of want to do something else." Okay, how about pitch some ideas then?Length requirements are a big one for me. I'll post as much or as little as the scene needs. I've written for years, I'm confident in my writing, and I know that cookie cutter one-length-fits-all doesn't cut it when you want to move things along quickly or when there really isn't that much to say. I can understand upper length requirements, novella-sized replies can be absolutely draining, but 4+ paragraphs at all times isn't realistic. It doesn't encourage me to write well, just to write more...and believe it or not, there is a distinct difference between the two. I can understand requesting "no one-liners" or "give me enough to work with" one hundred percent, though and have no issues with those.
Another thing is just...writing style. If I don't understand what someone is getting at with their writing or don't appreciate the way they write, it kills my interest pretty fast. There are just writers one doesn't click with, which is a sad fact of life. Nobody's fault, it simply happens.
And another would be indecision and passiveness. If I'm offering up ideas and trying to brainstorm, I'd really like to see the same from my partner. "Whatever you want", "I'm fine with anything", and "I don't know" may seem polite when they're being typed out by my partner, but they really just mean more work for me. This goes double for actual in character actions. If I'm the one pulling both our weight in making the narrative move along, then the RP is ending right then and there.
I think one of my bigger ones is when someone clearly decides to stop playing by the rules of the universe we'd established and just...does whatever. Saying "I had a cool idea!" OOC and telling me so we can tweak things is a lot better than simply implementing it and hoping I don't mind when it comes to big plot points or setting details. We all make little mistakes, but for certain things? It just has to be intentional.
Finally, I don't really want to roleplay with folks who expect me to put RPing before my obligations and other potential hobbies. I can have a variably busy schedule and one thing I adore is being given time and space to reply. Not everyone is the same, and I'm completely fine with people asking for daily replies from others and on their search threads, etc., but if I've told an RP partner about my schedule and posting ability and a reply is still expected of me daily...please no. Nothing drives me away faster.
I have a very close friend who does this and it's entirely draining to deal with. Nothing else really matters outside their precious, perfect baby and it was endearing in the beginning but now it's all the time with literally even things not relating to our RP and god its old.
