Let's Talk About RPs!
9 years ago
My power blinked out again since the workmen are fiddling with the stoplights on the street post hurricane, but I LIVED. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, I haven't gotten onto the roof yet to asses that but some shingles blew off and hopefully there's no leaking.
Anyway writing this on my phone, but in the mean time, how about you tell me some of your RP horror stories? Or success stories? What do you look for in a partner? What drives you INSANE when you see it? To start, one thing that absolutely drives me UP THE WALL, Is one word replies like *squirms* which are fine in random one off teasing mid-conversatino, but when there's a massive RP going on and you've written eight paragraphs and that's the response it just grrr....
OH, that and micro-managers who keep going OOC to suggest how you should play things? Grrr....
I never get TOO annoyed at these things but they're peeves, you?

FA+

Back when I didn't like vore, I had an RP partner that vored the character I was playing and I was so frustrated and upset that I rushed to end the RP and tell them later. Not a fun time.
1. Was having an okay RP with a guy, it was when I first started doing a lot of RP, we had gotten to the sex and all I got was *i thrust inside u and cum* I was very upset haha
2. Set up a scenario with someone where I was to lose a bet on a game of pool and them act as the sub in the RP. I kept leading him on to win the damn game of pool until his character scratched while on the 8 ball and then lost. I stopped the RP right there.
3. On F-list, have my preferences pretty clear out there that I don't want to top, dom, or be a pred. This one fellow was good the first time we played, but after that he constantly wanted to watch me eat and top his friends. That ended pretty quick.
I hate any kind of shorthand in an RP. There's no need to use text speak, don't shorten words into letters or replace letter with number, drives me up the wall. If it's literally a text in the RP, that's fine, but I want to enjoy the scenario and seeing things like 'u' or '2day' or 'gr8' or anything like that will drive me bonkers, haha.
People taking 15+ minutes to respond when the post length is little more than 3 or 4 sentences.
I don't look for a whole ton, just a partner that can bang out a few lines in a decent amount of time to keep things moving along.
- Mid-scene, your partner suddenly decides to "use magic" on you, and suddenly you have fifteen cocks or are female or have a vagina-cock or something and are expected to just 'roll with it'.
- You've just had a lengthy, extended, very intense scene, and are cuddling or whatever, and your partner announces "Time for round two!" and just goes at it all over again. C'mon, break time!
Also, in hypnosis RP, really short inductions x.x
othe than that, it's people who want to rp over fa notes, that shit drives me nuts.
I've had some instances where people will randomly insert a scenario or fetish that we hadn't discussed or agreed upon at all prior.
and yeah, the classic one-word reply always sucks.
People who want to continue and don't know when to end an rp till the rp dies...
Micro managers.
If you don't do it too much then I'm fine. I'm flexible...
-writes several paragraph, super detailed post
-*moans*
i just quit after that. I might be desperate for an RP but even I have standards.
