Roleplay Help & Writing Guides focuses on general skills for improving your writing and roleplaying abilities. Here, guides from other members can help you with technical issues, instruct you in improving your style, and more.
Remember to be courteous and polite to others, even if you don't agree with what they're saying. If you feel like you have insight on an aspect of quality writing or a new perspective on a topic, you're welcome to create a thread of your own!
If you post here looking for advice, try to at least be receptive towards receiving pointers from others, even if you don't agree with what they're saying. Be polite and courteous both in asking and replying and be mindful of the site rules involving hashing out your drama with other people in public spaces. This includes saying negative things about current or former roleplay partners and roleplays!
Roleplay help threads will be archived after one year from the last post or if the creator becomes inactive, banned, or deleted. Other threads created by members who become inactive, banned, or deleted will be archived.
