Nervous new user is nervous

Eh heh heh.... Hi? I'm Cecaelia (seh-KAI-lee-uh) Girlie, and... Obviously I'm new and nervous.


I first discovered Roleplaying on this site called Brawl in the Family. I was too young to join at the time, so I just lurked reading all the RPs, wishing I could join....


A few years later, my mom let me get a FFN account, for the purpose of writing Fanfiction. I did post a few chapter of fanfic, some better than others, but then, I discovered the forums....


And the RP forums.


Now, that was my first time being on a forum, so I was kinda an annoying newb. And I was an okay RPer. And I misspelled things a lot, for some reason.


But I didn't truly enjoy RPing until I joined this one Pokemon RP forum. It was a sandbox RP, meaning it had multiple topics for each indvidual location (meaning there could be a desert topic and and forest topic, etc, etc....), and there is no set plot, you just wing it and hope you get a good plot.


I had a crap tonna fun and it was probably the best time I had roleplaying... I also became close friends with all the members there (Fanfiction.net forums are much smaller and work differently than normal forums)


Unfortunately, later on I had lost internet access quite a few times, was dropped out a few RPS because of it, and for some reason, lost my ability to post. I had just become so lazy and unmotivated, I couldn't do it!


But I still love RPing, and I'm mostly out of that funk now.


Problem is I just can't post in those forums anymore... It just stopped being fun.


I joined the Know Your Meme Forums, which was great, but not for RPing.


So I searched "RP forum" and oh hey this place.


(Tl;dr: I came here to RP and make friends...


But don't have any friends (at the moment. ;D))


So..... Hi!
 
Hi!


I actually do have a question!


So what exactly are Simple, Casual, and Detailed RPs?


My understanding is:


Simple: Just a few sentences or a paragraph at time. Probably has no plot, or a very simple one.


Casual: Longer posts, ranging from a single paragraph to many. Have plots with varying intricacy.


Detailed: Very long and detailed posts. Have plots with varying intricacy, but tend to be more complicated.


Is that correct?
 
Hello Cecaelia! Welcome to RpNation.


It's definitely a little awkward/frightening entering a new place but we're all friendly here and only occasionally bite.


(And yes you are more or less correct with the RPs)

Apparently, Jaytee doesn't approve of lovey dovey things in the sb, well...yeah..
In moderation is fine but to be safe, it's better to keep it to a PM or some other form of chat. This was a big issue a while ago so some may still be sensitive to the subject.

Mhm..Aki is correct. Here, I don't know if you have read them yet and so I will link them. It will do you good to read the rules. Or you might get the sb pruned as I did yesterday. Apparently, Jaytee doesn't approve of lovey dovey things in the sb, well...yeah.

And that should help you get started...maybe.
Thank you!


So......


Nah, don't have any more questions. :P
 
Thank you /hi Nakinagara! :D


Well, I write a Fullmetal Alchemist, but it was bad, so I deleted it. Wrote a chapter of a Kirby fic. Wrote a quite a few chapters of a Warriors/ Warrior Cats fic( it was all prolouge though xD ). I also wanted to write a couple of pokemon fics and a Earthbound fic, but I never got around to it.....

Welcome Cecaelia,


Just to clarify on your Simple, Casual, and Detailed definitions, they are not purely based on post length. These definitions also include the roleplays rules, character sheet acceptance, and plot planning. More can be read here.
 
Hey and welcome to the Nation!


It's always great to see a new username around, @Cecaelia Girlie ! I'm glad you decided to stick around here and I think you'll like it here. I certainly do! I don't think you've told us yet, but what kind of roleplays are you interested in?


Also, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have about the site!
 
Hi/thank you Musician!


To answer your question Wreck, well...


I like pretty much all genres of RPs ( Scifi, Fandom, Realistic), but I prefer Fandom, Fantasy, and Realistic with fantasy elements.


When it comes to Simple, Casual, and Detailed, I prefer Casual and occasional Detailed. Simple's a bit bland to me.


Also, I like group RPing the best. I'm not even very familiar with dice roleplays, and I have no experience with 1x1.
 
Yep!


... Well, it's not like it has any true flaws.... But it's not like..... It's so amazingly good it can change lives or something. XP
