RP tutorial. [Plus general tips.]
9 years ago
So ya... Some of you seem a bit lost on how to RP. Hopefully this can help. Also let me know if you would like me to make more of these.
(And yes, I know there are other ways to RP. How would I not know that? I will just be going with my way as it's the way I know best. You are free to make your own tutorials if you like.)
Getting started.
Step 1:
Find someone who is into your fetish, but do not poke them just yet. (Try F-List if you don't have any on line who wants to play.)
Step 2:
Come up with a plot. This is actually quite easy. Just think about the partner you have picked. What are things they like? Maybe they like th idea of a pred sweet talking their pray before devouring them, or siblings making weight gain into a competitive sport.
There are many ways to do this too, try it and see what you can come up with.
Step 3:
Add more things. RPs get really really dull if you always have them center on just one aspect. Think of other things your partner likes that can fit well.
I'll include a list of what "side fetishes" go well with what.
Step 4:
Will there be sex? You need to know ahead of time if you and your partner will be yiffing each other at some point in this RP or you may just set yourself up for disappointment.
Step 5:
What is the setting? You partner may be OK with just saying "Where we are isn't important." but depending on what you are doing, having the RP set in the right place and time can make things way more interesting.
Step 6:
What is the story? Now that you have all the other things worked out you just need to string them together. Don't worry if it sounds silly, most people don' seem to mind sillyness as long as the story is OK.
Step 7:
Talk it over. Tell them your idea and ask if they like and if they would like to make any changes.
Playing.
The first post you make tends to b the most impotent as it establishes who you are, what you are doing, and what is going on. Always take your time with this.
After this posts tend to get shorter, but that doesn't mean you can just start giving one word replies. Which isn't to say it's never OK, just that it should be avoided when it can. As a rule RPs tend to be, at their core, about the interaction between you and your partner.
At some point, everything will likely start to slow down as you find it harder and harder to come up with anything else well at the same time the story seems to have reached a satisfactory end. Once this happens it's best to ask your parter if they want to end it there or if they have any ideas they want to try.
Details.
Now I know we can't all make 5 detailed pages worth of text for each post, but it's nice to knew what is going on.
Personally I like to describe any new things added and any changes made, telling all that is important but not so much so that the post is tidies. A good way to get this effect is to decide what to do, then find anything in it that could be a key moment and use that as a center piece for that post.
For example, in a vore RP you could simply say:
*Swallows you.*
But if you think about it, there are a few key moments that reading may make your parter feel more engaged. In this case, I would argue that th key moments are, pulling thew first part of their body into your maw, working said paw over all their favorite body parts, the the point where your belly starts to bulge, (If your pray is large enough.) and the moment where you actually swallow them.
Keeping that in mind we can easily make the old post into this (Assuming your partner likes their tail for this example.):
*Licks my lips as I cup my paws around your head, pulling your muzzle into my warm maw. Slowly I work my way down, your body sliding farther and farther into my damp insides, your solders pulling my cheeks wide as I reach the wider parts of your body. By the time I get down to your hips your head has already entered my stomach making a small lump in my gut and as I pull you deeper in you are made to curl up which only makes my gut swell farther. I can feel your tail wagging about as i work my down to it, that fuzzy appendage getting constrained by the tightness of my flesh around it. In no time at all I have pushed your feet into my hungry maw and gave one last swallow, sending you fully into my now much larger belly which has pulled tightly around you, making it possible to make out some of the shapes of your body through my flesh.*
It may seem overwhelming but if you work at it you will get better.
Side fetishes.
As I said before, RPs can get really boring if only one fetish is used, so here are a few things that tend to work well with some of the major fetishes. (Look them up if you don't know what they are.)
Weight gain: Voyeurism, exhibitionism, getting stuck, out growing cloths, room filling.
Vore: Romance, pred/pray politics (Trust me, it's more fun than you think with the right people.), slave play.
Inflation: Out growing cloths, room filling, things other than air.
Ya, I know there isn't much listed but I hope it gives you a bit of an idea.
Stuff I hear way to much.
Why won't [they] have sex with me?
Because they don't want too. Maybe they are just not into you. Maybe they don't go for your gender. Maybe they are taken and see it as cheating. Regardless, they don't have to have sex with you.
How can [they] not like [x]
Not everyone likes what you like. That is just how life is. You can ask then nicely but don't push it.
Why won't [they] play with me anymore.
They likely said yes at first, not knowing how you RPed and found it just wasn't fun for them. Now thy see you are not up to their standards. Work on your RP for a while then ask if they will give you another chance. Also do not ask them to soon, improving takes time.
I hope this helps you or at least amuses you. Let me know if you still want to know anything or just want to play.

Some people don't actually come up with a story-base like Roleplay mainly because some want to be their absolute selves.
However, i do know that you know that shit.
But what i'm trying to say is, it's like you're trying to get people to RP like this. regardless of who it is.
"(And yes, I know there are other ways to RP. How would I not know that? I will just be going with my way as it's the way I know best. You are free to make your own tutorials if you like.)"
I was just trying to offer some advice to those who feel they are not very good at RPing.
Like when someone makes an art tutorial. They know there are other ways to draw, but they are just trying to show people how they draw in case anyone else wanted to draw like they do.
I don't know what I was thinking back then.
I misinterpreted some grammatical features of the journal steps of advice of becoming a better Roleplayer.
