Hey there!
I'm looking for a partner which has been to say so far, a bit unfruitful. But, there's hope yet as I keep this thread updated with faith.
POST LENGTH
Dialogue Posts: (1) - (3?) paragraphs
"Solo" Posts*: (3) - (4?) paragraphs / lines
*Solo posts are when your character(s) go off and experience a scene on their own, without any other player's characters interfering. The entire scene is under your control.
I'm not totally sure since I don't really pay that much attention to my post lengths. I don't enjoy having to fluff my posts if there's only simple action and dialogue, so the minimum there is at least one paragraph usually. A paragraph is a group of sentences expressing a complete thought. I don't expect much from anyone other than that- complete ideas, those can be done in as little as two sentences. I would consider myself adept but I welcome any skill level and love to help people with improving their writing any way I can, if I can. I don't welcome snobbish attitudes toward writing.
WRITING STYLE (check any that apply)
(x) I spend most of the post on my character's emotions.
() I spend most of the post on my character's observations.
() I spend most of the post on physical descriptions (character or setting)
(x) I spend most of the post on actions and/or dialogue.
It's a mixed bag to be honest.
DETAIL
(x) Love it!
() Only the required details - I do not want to sift through flowers for content.
() Minimalism all the way!
SHOWING VS. TELLING
()% Showing, ()% Telling
() I am trying to improve this ratio.
(x) What do you mean? I just type.
I have no clue about how much of each I do, but I am aware of the importance of showing and I try to stick to that.
RP PHILOSOPHIES (check only those that apply strongly, or you might end up checking them all)
() It is a way to unwind and escape after a stressful or tiring day.
() It is the creation of a collaborative story.
(x) It is a game people play with each other.
() It should be readable - consistency and good flow are key.
() RPs exist for the players, not an audience.
() Characters serve the story.
() The story serves the characters.
(x) I write my own fiction and sometimes I use RP to develop character and brainstorm plot.
() I use it as practice to improve my writing skill.
CHARACTER QUANTITY (check all that apply)
Main character = you play their thoughts and actions
Side character = recurring, possibly important, but you write only their actions.
NPC = usually insignificant, you play only their actions, and both/all rpers can control them.
() I prefer only playing one main character.
(x) I am comfortable playing 2-4 main characters.
() I am comfortable playing more than 5 main characters.
() I prefer no side characters.
(x) I am comfortable playing 1-4 side characters.
() I am comfortable playing more than 5 side characters.
() I prefer as few npcs as possible.
(x) I don't care how many npcs there are.
CRITICISM
() I am eager to receive all the criticism you can give me.
() I will take criticsm to improve my writing, but please do not overdo it as I can be sensitive.
(x) If I want criticism, I will ask for it.
() I am here to roleplay just for fun. I do not want criticism.
OOC ACTIVITY:
() Only for plot discussions.
() At least daily correspondence.
() Be my new friend! Let's chat!
I don't mind being talked to, or not talked to. I likely won't initiate an OOC conversation, but i'm always cool with people who don't mind striking up a chat with me.
IC ACTIVITY
() I am busy but I am addicted to Iwaku so I will try anyway.
() I am busy but I make an effort to drop by consistently.
() I am busy and sometimes die for long periods of time, but I will come back.
() Sometimes I lose my muse, but this is never permanent.
() Sometimes I lose my muse, and this may be problematic.
I am practically never busy. But I am awake pretty much from the evenings to the early hours.
TENACITY / PATIENCE (check any that apply)
() I very, very, rarely quit rps.
(x) I try my best not to quit rps.
() I appreciate patient partners that can wait.
() I will quit rps that have been completely silent for (max) days/weeks/months.
() I will wait indefinitely for the return of a good partner.
() I sometimes regretfully quit rps due to real-life issues.
There is usually no reason for me to quit a rp, other than it being somehow not enjoyable? I'm very forward about such things though, and am not a fan myself of having rp dropped out of the blue.
ROMANCE
() Required
() Preferred
(x) Only if Natural
() No.
I allow whatever my characters would do.
SEX
() Required
() Preferred
() No NSFW (fade to black; brief/vague descriptions or summaries)
(x) All my characters are asexual.
They are, however there are opportunities for failed, shameful attempts at sex. I personally have never written a sex scene, so expect the worst if it happens? I don't honestly see it happening, but sometimes you just don't know man.
OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS (take your time with these!)
Make a list of all your RP pet peeves:
-Being left to dry in the middle of RP.
-Forgetting to describe simple, important details like a characters basic looks or the setting
Really I haven't got a solid list of things that bug me. I haven't done rp with strangers for very long, so I predict it's probably something to be noted with experience.
Make a list of all your RP-buddy candies (not plot candies! RP buddy candies!)
-I uh, can't think of any at the moment
Describe your ideal RP partner in less than 3 sentences.
-I would be thrilled to have a partner who can respond quickly, and who is already well aquainted with writing. But, aside from that I would love to rp with someone who really loves their characters as much as I do.
====================================
RP is really an important writing tool for my characters and fiction, but aside from that it's just one of my most favorite things. I always use the characters i've already created, instead of ones made up on the spot because it helps me when I know how to play a particular character well.
The only limits I have are that the characters must fit the setting, and I basically allow for anything that would make sense for them to do naturally. Anything else does not matter to me. I just ask that you stick to universal rules like no godmodding or character hijacking.
Word of warning though, I am heavily into describing gorey scenes and other sort of disturbing nasty things. I absolutely love being grotesque and off putting, it's my specialty. Aside from that I commonly play with vampiric/vampire like characters, which I feel the need to state since it seems some are a bit picky bout it.
If there's anything else you need to know, please ask.
