I was thinking back to how I started RP in the first place.
This was a long time ago on a forum dedicated to an animated movie series. Long time ago meaning I was really young at the time. I don't even remember what the RP was about, it wasn't about the series, it was some sort of fantasy and it was a group RP. I made a character sheet and then I left for a while. I forgot I even joined but when I checked it again, it was mostly just characters hanging out, which is fine but my young self went >:) seeing this and then posted about my dragon character breathing flames on the area and everyone. And then I made no other post, of course. My young self was satisfied with the chaos.
Another early experience was on a RP forum which had a word requirement of I think...500 words? I was playing a white wolf with wings, my young self wanted to impress everyone with my word count. So I wrote at least 2k words of my character...looking around, moving her wings a little bit, in as much detail as possible, but only doing those things, and that was the post, all 2k words of it. No thoughts or description of the environment, no detail other then "and then she looked around, and then she moved her wings, and then she looked around"... I wish I still had the post, I want to frame it. Everyone has to start somewhere and I think I did learn from that post back then, but oh, young me just really wanted to have a hefty word count to awe the other players.
So if you want to share, I want to hear your stories about how you started RP!
