I suck at Setting. I am better with dialogue. I envy you. But if it helps two of my favorite authors were masters of imagery. (Ayn Rand and Anne McCaffrey) Read the intro scene of The Fountainhead or any Hatching scene from the Dragonrider books.
Um cool? I'm not sure what that has to do with what I mentioned.

Have you read either of the things I mentioned?
No.

"Growf!"
That's why. Lots of descriptive words used in those passages. Extremely well written.
Okay, sounds interesting to read.
I'm not having issues with using descriptive words. I am having issues with certain people making me feel like I cannot be expressive with what words I want to use or how much I want to write.

"Growf!"
Sigh ... it's late here.
Whoops? Now I see the problem. You can't read my mind. My bad.
What I was saying was that I envy your ability to express things descriptively. Rand and McCaffrey were just a couple authors that spring to mind when I think of the use of imagery.
I had a GF like that in college. She could freehand calligraphy like other people write normally. And she would use words that even I had to look up in a dictionary (and ignore my mock glare with amusement). (My friends also seemed to take delight in her stumping me like that.)

When people just disappear from a roleplay without a word. I get that sometimes writer's block happens, but for God's sake... tell your role partners!
Another thing too... don't tell me or any of your roleplay partners when you will reply or that you will reply soon, and wait until you receive an angry message to say that 'you got sidetracked.' Once in a while is one thing, but one of my partners has done it so many times lately , I am considering blocking her and dropping the roleplay.

Roleplay experiences that make you mad just thinking about them.
I hate when people say they want to match my length and quality. Rather than just writing to tell a story, it becomes the sole focus of everything. I'm not asking nor do I want anyone to match anything. I just want a partner I can write alongside in a roleplay we both enjoy.

My slight counterpoint to that is when OP only provides the most basic of info, like concept pairings. (i.e. "vampire x human" or "bad boy x good girl/boy/NB") OP provides a list of basic concepts with the command not to make THEM plan out everything, as well as the usual "i prefer this word/paragraph count, be literate, reply _____ amount of times a week, use proper grammar, etc." They don't have ANY basic ideas for these concepts apart from that pairing. No setting, no story prompt, no nothing...
So you message them, introducing yourself and asking some questions about the ideas and offering your own little plot bunnies for approval.... And OP juuuuuust barely manages a three word "sure, that's fine" response to your "not-a-yes-or-no-answer" question, with no further elaboration on how to expand the idea or even addressing any of the other questions. You try to push the acknowledged plot bunny forward, trying to pry more info from OP about how they want to do this.
Then they drop the whole "nah, I have a hard time playing this particular pairing I listed specifically even though I didn't provide you with much context about why I listed it in the first place... Dont want to waist[sic] your time....You can play this pairing instead."
My initial response:
I have nothing against pairing lists as a whole. Sometimes it's a great way to incorporate niche character ideas that you know will never get picked up in a traditional interest check. But oh my gosh...I reserve the right to be irritated at you for not following your own rules in normal conversation, and making me waste my time already before demanding I do something else.
"We are going to location A. It's just around the corner."
Ten posts later. Still going to location A just around the corner and twenty posts later, still no sign of reaching location A in sight.
If you're going to seemingly take the lead to have characters going to a location that's just a walk away, actually take the lead by having them get there and describe what type of place it is. It's borderline Inuyasha Syndrome.

Here's one that's really been wearing on me lately:
Person: (has an open interest check and bumps it daily)
Me: (politely expresses interest and suggests some ideas based on what the person claims to like)
Person:
I totally understand my suggestions might not be to your liking but Jesus, saying "not my thing sry" takes 3 seconds and comes across as far more respectful than just ignoring the person who clearly sat down for a couple of minutes to think of something to suggest.
Am I bitter about this? Maybe a little bit. It's just exasperating.

I'd have to double what was said just right above me but also like to add on, never hearing from said person when you've begun constructing a role-play/world together. Sometimes, its easy to tell that the other person just isn't into it and so you don't have any hard feelings. There's just something very sour when they suddenly drop the ball even though they appeared to be really interested.

omg hi everyone!!! i havent seen you all in quite a while. and something completely stupid happened to me today.
you know whats KILLING me today?
a 33 year old loser berating me for not responding between 8pm and 11pm.
a 33 year old incel hick being PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND CHILDISH with me for even mentioning about the other roleplays im part of -- the reason i mentioned it is because i created characters and took great pics of them for the rp.
a 33 yr old jackass who cant get laid irl (because he said "being alone is wayyyy better") so he wants to do it in an rp.
I
HATE YOU. HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN TO SOMEONE THAT WASNT EVEN DOING ANYTHING BAD YOU CHILDISH
literally the reason why i took a break from roleplaying and why i absolutely hate writing with cis men.
LET ME KNOW IF YALL WANT RECEIPTS
okay everyone, have a good day!

Ouch. For what it is worth, not all cis males are like that - I think. I think I am one? Maybe, not sure what the term really means tbh. Oh well. For what it is worth ....
If you DO respond 8-11 PM ... I read it and get to it ... tomorrow .. if work doesn't kill me.
Uhm, probably shouldn't talk much about other RP's. I tend to reciprocate ... and I type slow enough as is. At this rate I'll never get a reply out to OUR RP ... lol
Part 3 ... I got nuthin'. While I like romance in an RP, writing about the actual act of ... isn't that against the rules of RPN? Man, I was married once and it seem like all my Ex wanted was sex, sex, sex ... all the time. I've had enough for three lifetimes.

So sorry you ran afoul of a man-child - as in one who is more child than man.

Well, i hope you are a very nice dude that treats your partners well
usually i dont mention other rps, the reason why is because i was showing examples of characters i made for other rps. like actual pictures, not character sheets.
and this took place over discord from reddit. so no RPN rules were being broken. hehe.

This kind of piggybacks on what
Buttercup.
mentioned:
People who create these huge, elaborate interest checks with all these rules, demands, etc. You think "okay, I could really get into writing with this person. They're nicely detailed, etc." So you write to them and offer ideas and you are LUCKY if you get maybe a sentence or two in response.
OP: Don't make me have to come up with the whole idea myself! Help me build the world.
Me: Bish, give me something to build on besides the equivalent of a wordbank! I know you got a dictionary and a thesaurus, now you just gotta string those words together to make thoughts and ideas!

What's bad is when you have someone that will talk about her own other RPs then gets upset to know you have others that you "put before there RP".
If I have three RPs going then depending on how engaging the moments some will grab my attention for replies on some days that others.

I want to say this is a rare occurrence but it's not. It's really not. Some people are just....nuts. I am sorry you experienced this.
I will also say, however, not everyone is the same. You are definitely warranted in feeling how you feel. No one should have to deal with such stupidity. On the other hand, there are plenty of other capable male writers who will not make you feel like writing with them is a nightmare.

I’m sorry you had to deal with this. I haven’t had any experiences with it so I don’t know how else to help you out, but I wish people wouldn’t have to hear about things like that. That’s just sad to hear about.
But that aside, I wish you could have taken a different approach to your post here. Even though it’s cliche and a lot of people don’t like it when we say it, it’s true that NOT ALL MEN act this way. And like H Hootle said, there are plenty of cis men who won’t be a nightmare to write with the way your horror story was. If you want, I can try to help you out, as a cis man myself I can assure you I won’t do any of these things.
