I feel like this is fairly self-explanatory: What do you look for in a writing partner?
For me personally, the most important part is always communication. Communication is the key to everything. Regardless of how awkward the topic might be, it's always better to discuss each other's limits, wants and needs (among other things), as well as always being open with each other. I'd much rather someone tell me a thread or pairing isn't working out or isn't fun anymore than forcing yourself to continue it for the sake of sparing my feelings. Sometimes things doesn't work out and that's fine.
Chemistry is another important factor for me. While I love clicking with people outside of threads, there is nothing better than finding a person you have thread/character chemistry with. You know, that instant spark, "love at first sight" kind of deal that makes you want to reply instantly? Yeah, that.
I don't care much about frequency. I don't mind waiting on people. We all know how real life can get in the way, but what I do mind, is when people tell me they're going to post, then never do. Yes, people can get suddenly busy, not have the energy or muse to, but after a while it stops being reasons and starts becoming excuses #abandonmentissues. But at the same time, I don't like people pestering others about posts.
I also prefer someone who doesn't care much about post length. I, personally, post what feels right for that reply, be it one paragraph or ten. I've never much cared for threads that have six paragraphs of fluff that doesn't necessarily need to be there, for the sake of the reply being longer. Someone who allows their characters to be wrong and human. No character is perfect and they all make mistakes. I don't mind being the loser in a fight (verbal or otherwise). Godmodding is never fun. Our characters won't know everything about the other and it's impossible to expect everything.
I've always found that having a balance between plotting and spontaneity is the best way to go. Plotting everything beforehand is often dull (and doesn't always work out the way you'd thought), while leaving everything completely open can also stop any development whatsoever - though, "let's see where it goes" can work in many cases.
Lastly, you have to find my lame jokes funny. Even if you have to pretend (not that you have to, because I'm hilarious).

I like partners that show rather than tell. My ideal writing partner would never give me exposition about what their character is thinking or other things that I cannot interact with. I'd rather see subtle things like an averted gaze when the character is embarrassed or having them share something deep with me through dialog as opposed to already knowing it because it has been harped on in outside exposition in the thread. I like the little mistakes in interpretation that can happen and the focus on things like the scenery and the posing/emotes of the characters. It feels more organic to me.
I usually find myself falling back into exposition these days because it seems like that is what most people I find do, but it isn't my preference. I'd rather write with someone who goes with 100-200 words of action than someone who goes 300-500 with mostly exposition (but i'm not really picky).

My ideal writing partner: - Writes around 150-200 words in an average post; but they can write more when they're introducing a scene, or a string of events happens. And less when nothing really interesting happens. I'm fine with a 20-word post if a 20-word post is what the scene needs.
- Will keep dialogue to one subject per post. I don't know about you, but I abhor And so forth. Three conversations at once? No one can live at that speed.
- Likes putting a little tension in the thread. Our characters can get along, sure, that's great. But let's be at odds. Let's have misunderstandings. My character wants to take yours out for a date. Your character wants to buy a birthday present for mine in secret so tries to get out of it. My character is hurt because yours doesn't love him. Perfect!
- Doesn't try to impress me with flowery language but keeps the language lovable.
- Won't spell out everything for me and, similarly, will read between the lines as well. No character will sigh dejectedly, scream angrily or cry sadly.
- Will have long walks on the beach with me to watch the setting sun, before (s)he tries to stare dreamily into my eyes only to remember I have severe issues with eye contact, so we'll awkwardly stand there and send off a silent prayer for romance, for it is dead, we killed it

What do I want in a partner? 1. Already Stated but restating. COMMUNICATION. This is HUGE, I mean huge to me. I had 1 person who lied to two different people about "which" character her character was getting with and "oh no.. that's not what is happening" lying on purpose to confuse us both, that we both misunderstood. Don't play people, its not right.
Another thing. TELL ME... TELL ME something makes you uncomfortable, please for the love of everything. I don't want to think in the back of my mind you're just pushing yourself to make me happy.... and lying when I ask you. Then grow angry when after many threads you say you do not wish to do it, When I ask. Over. and over. Because somebody can sense it.... But if you don't tell me no, I will not stop. I enjoy stories, I enjoy completing plots. I'll do anything to keep a story going, LET ME KNOW. I WILL NEVER EVER BE UPSET if its for your Mental state and character structure. YOUR STORY. Why I roleplay... FOR YOUR VIEWS and MINE to correlate and create SOMETHING NEW! Otherwise may as well be writing a fanfic or some book for money. **coughs sorry**
Also.. If you have an idea of storyline or something.. Chances are I'll jump right into it. just let me know. I like tying pieces together, that don't even seem like they fit. It's fun. 2. Do not disappear without a word I enjoy post back to back. But if you start slowing down, let me know. hey "I'm going to be doing such and such go missing for a month. No worries, I love our story. i wanna continue it" then pick it up such n such time. I will wait years if you're willing to continue a story. Honestly. i hate reversing restarting and just never finishing roleplays. The moment you disappear without a word.. A. You either hate my writing, our threads, and over all not having fun (making me paranoid). B. Just used me and now found a new "toy" site.
I Really don't want to get emotionally attached to you or your characters you plan to just walk away without a word. Really really love stories, all stories... please don't make me come up with a reason you decided to leave without a word halting all my character's development and progress. At least give me something 3. Writing Structure fitting the scene I love users who swap writing styles depending on the situation and the characters. I Drool over that writing expertise, you want compliments? Please please keep that awesomeness up.
I do not enjoy people who have more than 1 character in a post... and flat out ignores my character, unless they asked specifically.. If you ignore me and don't have a reason to do so, I feel like you're just writing a story and I'm the third wheel. And using me to read your material.
Finally, I do not like 1 liners. I let them slide out of Story continuation desperation.... But please... PLEASE... give me something to work with. The less things to interact with, the more a thread run dries for me. If I start asking for Time skips, and you're posting 1 liners.. Means wanna skip to the next story scene as this one clearly going in circles.
4. Chatter Boxes/Friendly/Just Good people I get attached to users and roleplayers no not clingy.. never the clingy, too much pain. But I enjoy speaking with other people, I just enjoy the company. We're all writers, and if you talk to me like a friend, I'll probably like you as a friend. EXTRA EXTRA BONUS YOU POST!
Adding to this: I do not like people who hang out in chatboxes but never post. That just pisses me off. These are Roleplay Forums, meaning you are suppose to be creating a story with others. You can't create a story when you are just talking. If you are working or doing something away from a computer that is fine... But blatantly ignoring to post or procrastinating to post.. bothers me. I'd rather take a 1 liner to help you out, than never get a post. Sorry..... But join a messenger not a forum wanna chat and not create a masterpiece story.
5. Everything Has to have a reason **coughs character development** Why did your character torture mine? What's the backstory? I enjoy these small details, everything that makes a character click I wanna know. I don't want somebody who writes but has no idea "Why" other than "because makes me feel awesome" or "I don't know..." I want somebody who can write and add to the story a whole new depth element. Please the more you can add the more I'll probably cling to your writing, stories, and ideals. Just add more. I am not just in it for the "exotic" content... I wanna roleplay stories, all stories. Just the dark stuff is super fun because faster character development versus always being happy and gradually evolving in more threads... Evolve my Characters, Evolve your characters, No not pokemon evolution... Character Evolution. DEVELOPMENT Development. //I went to far and was rushing again... sorry...// |

I went to formulate a response to this thread and the porboardsguy.png came up so I became incredibly verklempt.
Ahem.
Seconding what others have said, chemistry is a must. Not that I'm looking for anything romantic from my RP partners, but I would absolutely adore if our thoughts were on a similar wavelength regarding characterization and whatnot. I'll admit that I can be a bit much when it comes to my own word count (if I ever have to make a starter, it usually ranges from 600-2k words; it has to be this way), but I'm not going to be bothered if a thread partner cannot keep up to that. Typically, I'll match my pace to theirs. The posts don't have to be particularly girthy, I'm just verbose.
I always think it's a great indicator of things to come if I can get along with the character as well as I get along with the player. Love being able to make playlists of songs that relate to our characters, come up with ridiculous AUs about them, make long-ass lists about all the threads to come (once we're done with the five running ones). Great friends, amazing ones, come from these relationships, this ease of conversation.
While I like plotter responses, my ideal person would just jump into my DMs like "hey check out this idea I just got sprung on me while I was eating toast", we discuss it for a grand total of ten minutes, and then draw straws to see who gets to do the starter because we're both so excited to get the ball rolling. I'm a firm believer that RP is a hobby--and a fun one at that--so why shouldn't we be pumped 100 percent of the time to get it started?
You gotta like my rap references. It's optional (I suppose) to like my punk and 70s rock references (referred to as "dad rock"), but the rap references are essential because I do the most for the culture simply by just existing.
Oh. Also, this is just a personal thing, but my ideal person has to be 18+. Not because I like to go into mature themes (though that is also the case), but because I would feel incredibly uncomfortable interacting with a minor in this sense. I'm of the belief that, once you're an adult, you cannot be friends with a minor. Also I have a little sister, so my older sibling vibes would be upped to 11. #justjetthings |

Typically what I look for in a roleplay partner is a pulse, but I mean it's not a requirement per se. If you dead and still want to write, dm me. :ok_hand:
But on a serious entry, my biggest requirement is exactly what Jet mentioned: the age minimum for writing partners on my end is around 18 at the very least. While I will write with people younger, I unfortunately won't be able to see them as any more than a little sibling that I must protect, a sweet summer child who doesn't deserve to see the impurities of this world and best be eating their gahdamn veggies. And I mean also when I'm comfortable around people, vulgarities will fly, I have no mercy. Children don't need to see me using the fuck word every other syllable.
On a topic outside of actual writing engagement, I enjoy when I can talk to people about things besides rp. Like it's cool to talk about our days or personal interests. You found a new band? Heck yeah, I wanna hear about it. Had a fun date with your s/o? Tell me what was so fun about it, even if it was just being in each other's presence! Let's engage ourselves as friends, too. Sure, I love to talk about our characters and possible ships, but I do love learning about the person behind the character, too. And sure, we have our bad days and need to vent, I'll be happy to lend an ear. Though I won't be your personal therapist, nor will I help you make decisions: that's on you. Besides, if I view the situation as something I don't agree with/find ridiculous (i.e.: major pettiness over something small,) I will put my foot down and will remain unapologetic of the candor that follows. So knowing that what I might say may sound hurtful, I say it to help.
But yeah, don't just jump ship either. If you aren't feeling a thread, just let me know and we can toss it aside to work on something different. I'm not too fussy on time it takes for replies, I would wait literal years if I had to lmao, I'm accustomed to it. Roleplaying is a hobby, not an obligation. I do love tossing ideas back and forth in regards to characters too. I'd love to help formulate situations to stimulate character growth, whether positively or negatively. However I am a sucker for positive/"happy" routes, so expect opportunities for redemption or something of that nature to arise. Truly I'm such a "fluffy" roleplayer that it's kind of gross at times. It's a wonder I don't give my writing partners cavities at how sickeningly sweet those moments can be.
I can't really think of much else to tack on here. I like to approach writing with an open mind because people are able to create their own little worlds with words and that's just peachy keen if you ask me. Explicit writing? I have no issue with writing it, but I also have no issue skipping it either. It's not a must for me. Angst? I'm not really crazy about it, but I'll do it. But there better be something happy in the wake of suffering or so help me.
I might edit this with more once I think of it, or might just make a whole new post, I'm not sure yet.

Post by murk on Jul 3, 2018 14:49:19 GMT
so at first i was going to be like "haha valka " and then leave it at that but then i started thinking on how much there is to offer to this thread so i'll.. actually reply. forgive me if this gets to be a tad long. for the sake of this i'll be looking at writing partner as being a singular person versus multiple people, bc while i love to write with a lot of people (rav, tact, basically anyone im threading w on ct) i've always viewed a writing partner as that one person that you're undeniably attached to. - for the most part, if i'm already considering myself so attached to someone that i'm calling them my writing partner, then i'm probably also calling you my best friend. roleplay is very much a social thing for me and so a view a lot of my relationship is built through the plots that i create with the people i rp with. the person i consider my writing partner is someone that i plot closely with, almost if not all of our characters have some form of close ties, and most of the time i can rely on them in helping me bring my ideas to life. which leads me into communication. - like all relationships communication is key. valka and i talk extensively about different aspects of our lives; i'm pretty sure that we both know just about everything going on behind the scenes with the both of us. when i have muse troubles, val is the first person i go to. when val needs to change a major idea for a character because what was happening before just isn't working anymore, we discuss the new idea(s) that she's having. i tell her when a thread isn't working out anymore, she tells me when a ship is running out of steam. outside of this: we talk about what's going on in our lives extensively and she's been my support through more than just writing. these are things that are so very important to me that i don't think i'd be able to not have this in a functioning writing dynamic like this again. - commonality. essentially: i can't write all the time and i don't want all of our conversations to be about only rp topics, but about things we have in common as well. val and i share a lot of the same interests -- marvel, tv shows, games -- and what we don't share, we still talk about to each other. we played ff14 together, i got a subscription for it and then a little while later she did as well, and while i've cancelled my subscription due to taking an extended break she's loving it to this day. i wasn't a huge marvel fan before i met her but now i go to every movie as it previews because i know it's going to be something we talk about for a long time. these are things that any functioning relationship of any level have, and so it translates to a writing dynamic here for me. - i need our writing styles to compatible. i can write with people where our styles just clash; however, when writing to this point with someone, i need a style that compliments mine as much as mine compliments theirs. someone who has a dynamic word count, who can focus on actions over prose, and who can layer that prose within action tend to work well with me. while i don't believe that purple prose necessarily exists within the rp community (not at where i roleplay; it takes much longer than the average 500-1000 words before PP becomes an issue) there is such thing as too much and it can be hard to strike a balance! i know i use a lot of prose and sometimes i overdo it with my own metaphors but having found someone who is more explicit and raw has really worked wonders for my ability to reply to them. - speed is not an issue. i don't care if we only post once every 3 months to each other, i don't care if we restart storylines 30 times in a year and have never seen one to its conclusion. this relationship is not about a definitive starting and finish line to me, it's about the adventure between. i don't want to meticulously roleplay every step in a relationship from start to finish -- i want to roleplay the parts that make us excited. i want to roleplay maybe a quarter of those steps and then, while we're sharing headcanons at 3am one day, we say to each other: this idea is cool, let's try this now -- and we just move. i want to take ideas and twist them, put other variables inside and see what happens. i want to develop my characters alongside yours but not all of that has to happen in 400 word blocks; we can roleplay like we're in an icbox or roleplay quietly in a shared space or on our site for the world to see -- all i want is to tell a story and see where it goes. - planning is completely not optional with me and while i like for some things to happen organically, i need direction. i like having someone who can plan out generally where a thread begins and where it's meant to end but the middle? mystery. it makes the thread feel like it has a goal and makes it easier to write towards. - again, like. a writing partner for me is a partner in many other aspects of life; we are support systems for each other in many facets beyond writing, and it is a relationship that continues giving back. my writing partner is someone who i trust fully and someone i'd take with me anywhere if i could -- and i know this post acts a lot as an ode to valka but lmao i've been writing with her for the last 5 or so years now and in a lot of ways she's made me realize many of the above points. i wouldn't trade her for the world. |

This is actually a hard question for me to answer because I've never found someone I would really label as a writing partner. Even my closest friends in real life, I bonded with them over rp but no one has ever really been my go to and I don't feel I have ever been anyone else's go to. It's actually something I have struggled with in rping because i makes me wonder sometimes if maybe i'm just not as cut out for it as I'd like to be but that's a topic for another time.
Let's talk about characters those who have rped extensively with me before know there's one thing i never get enough of, talking about characters. Character creation and development is what I consider one of my greatest strengths and I've had people tell me they're legitimately impressed by how completely thorough I am about it. I think about all the little things and details because I whole heartedly believe that they can be just as important as the major events. I know all their little ticks and tocks and quirks and things that make them stand out from others. The weird little habits and ugh some days I just want someone I can sit and share this kind of thing with and have them be as excited to hear about them as I am. And it's not just about my characters heavens I always want to hear about other people's characters! I ant to know more! I know I'll never know every little tidbit you do as their creator but I can try damnit.
Plots Communication and Chemistry I feel all of this really goes hand in hand and is as much a part of each other as they are separate things. If you fail at any one of these things the other aspect will suffer from it. Things just have to click, the talking ought to feel fluid and organic and you don't have to worry about being a bother. This lends a little bit towards something Murk mentioned, to a degree I feel if you're really going to be more than a one time rp partner you have to be friends to some degree. It's like the difference between acquaintances and friends.
My plots aren't just romance, I want more than that and if there's romance I want it complex and dynamic not flat and happy only. I find though a lot of the people that come to me come with romance as a focus and it often creates a small disconnect because I want more than that. I have no problem with it but if we're gonna do it let's really do it. Let's make it into more than just that.
Fucking follow through It's easy to talk but not always as easy to actually make it happen. I want to make it happen. I want to see where things will go and how it'll end up ending for our characters and it doesn't even have to be just good things I want to write things that make me cry as i type them and that I have to wait a moment to get my laughter on control because yep i really just typed that. I'm perpetually hyped gdi let's do it.
Growth For both of us. I'm a strong believer in getting better as you go and that you can always improve. I want feedback, I want to give it, I want to talk about what does and doesn't work and not be afraid of saying the wrong thing. I want to get creative and use typography and graphics to make it into more than just words on the screen, I want it be art and make my little creative heart soar. I absolutely want to find people that can jive with this and enjoy it as well as me.
Social understanding the long and the short of it is things happened and I'm not the best socially. I know this. It doesn't help I very strongly lean towards introvert. I'm the kind of person who can be very quiet and seem kind of stiff when first talking to a person because I'm just not a talker, I don't feel compelled to always say something. I've had people tell me they thought I didn't really like them at first even though I always said hello to them because I'm just not very good at small talk. I like to delve right in to something and once I start going I just.... keep going. I'm just the kind of person that you hit the right topic and i don't shut up but you hit something else and I get quiet because I don't have something to say. It may seem like it'd be better to have someone just like that but what I really need is a Talker. Some of my best rp friendships have been with my exact opposites because they dragged me out of my little introverted inner world and got me to do stuff with them. I'm better about doing it myself nowadays but I'm still quiet by nature. If I didn't say hi today it's not that I don't want to it's because I was just preoccupied elsewhere. A lot of the time I don't really engage with "hi how are you" I just blurt out something and see what happens because that at least creates some actuall bloody conversation and just just half hearted back and forths.
also close to my age range not because I have a problem with the younger crowd, I love my little shits dearly even to this day but there's always a bit of a disconnect because they're still talking about school and I'm off in my own little world because I can't really get in on that topic anymore. It's nice to find people closer to my age that I can connect with over mid 20s people stuff like how work can screw off and why is the living room a mess i wasn't even here all day? and what in the world am I gonna do with the garden it's flourishing but taking care of it more is gonna cost so much money /cries.
frequency i don't mind waiting. I 100% guarantee there will be at last one month where I give you like 2 replies and that's it because there's too much going on but I do like things to be a little bit more fast paced whenever possible. I find that if things sit and stagnate too long i end up losing interest and then when you eventually do reply I just stare at it like "what where we even doing here" and end up just not replying for like a week and then it's hard to get back into it. so it's not 100% required because life happens shit happens, some days you just look at the computer screen and go "yup nope" btu you certainly won't see me telling you to slow down.
i think a lot of what i look for i end up basing on what has and hasn't worked with people in the past. of course this is just what;s ideal on all these fronts and I'm the sort of person that's super agreeable with things as long as you don't try and get me to go out of character.

Someone who not only respond to my post but also adds new information. There's nothing that kills my muse faster than people who don't offer any new information or events of their own. They need to take initiative and contribute to the roleplay. Roleplay is supposed to be collaborative. Word count isn't a factor in it. There's no point spending 300 words describing the scenery or monologuing internally, when your character is just standing around and not doing anything to interact with my character.

Chemistry: I mean, this is the most important to me. If we don't click, I won't be excited to write with them, will I? Communication: This is quite nearly as important as chemistry. We must be able to chat about limits, plots, characters, etc. However, the types of communication are also important. There has to be a good flavour in the chats, and some personality clicking, as well. Otherwise, it can all go sour. Consistency: I can't stand the sorts of Partners who disappear regularly, without telling me, or who constantly say they're going to post, but never do (and by this, I mean, for months and months... like write or don't write, but don't tease me, you know?). Also, if they're going to be the sort that disappears regularly or for long periods of time without telling me - and I've had a few of these - they can't return and get all upset that their plots aren't still be fully in-tact. I'm there playing those characters every day. I can wait a week, I can even wait up to a few months if I know RL stuff is swallowing them, but I'm not going to sit about, without any communication or during excessively long absences, and allow my character to go stagnant. (Sorry. Didn't realise how much of a sore issue this was for me, atm.) Flexibility: Characters evolve and plots change, often without my say because my characters will do and react however they will. I need a partner who understands that, and doesn't get all irate with me because a character didn't do what they wanted in a thread/ situation. Interest in the writing and the plot over the PB: This has been an issue for me in both RL PB and Animanga FC communities, and it's a huge red-flag for me immediately to have someone approaches me and says that they really love that PB/ FC, and would love to do *insert plot here* with them. (I nope that immediately now, even though there might be interesting plots and good writers behind them because I had to end a 'ship that wasn't working for me or the character semi-recently, and the RPer was so upset that they rage-quit on me rather than play out the break-up so...) Threading Chemistry: I like to get to know the character. I don't need hundreds of words of exposition, but give me SOME characterisation, please. If all I'm getting is a hundred words of dialogue and action ONLY, I'm bored. I want reasons for their actions - whether the character knows them or not - and some descriptions of the world about them. Don't give me flat, boring, talking/moving only posts. I could just play video games for that, and I wouldn't have to wait for it. I want posts to be like reading a novel, in fact. I do not, however, want my partner to write a scene that bores them because... it will bore me, as well. I'm open to a couple hundred to thousands of words that interest the writer. I don't want just filler. That's boring af.

Chemistry: If I can't click with you in a regular convo, probably a big flashing sign we shouldn't RP. (Granted I don't mean we need to agree on everything, but as long as we aren't getting pissy with each other about simple things. Nice and friendly is all I really need.) Also, need to be able to learn about each other's needs and wants and limits and boundaries. If my character is ace, doesn't mean my character won't date, they just have a sexual boundary and I will not break that. If I'm not into a character relationship that promotes possessiveness, please respect that of me and don't lie to me and go through with it. If you want something out of the plot, let me know. I'd do the same for you. If you need an RP break, lmk instead of just dropping off the face of the earth because "I'd feel bad." Life is shit, I understand it. I'm not focused on posting speed. I might be slightly disappointed if you have to give it up completely, but I'll understand. Not telling me what's up in some degree or like just saying "Hey, I can't do this for a few weeks." hurts more and sours the relationship a bit. The more I trust you, the more things I'm willing to RP with you. Just be real with me, I'll be real with you.
Plots: If I have chemistry with my partner and our characters have chemistry that can form, then I need to know you're as excited as me for the threads and plots. Because I am stooooked for plots always. And I'm totally cool with some pre-planned things because direction is great for starting and all or like musing about future plans or just funny things to make each other laugh about our characters, but I try not to drag too much OOC things into a plot because I like growth and natural flow from the characters. So not everything will probably go in, but if I promise for a certain thing like pre-planned plot, I'll deliver and I expect the same out of my partner.
Writing: I take this whole thing as a hobby, I love it, but if you're writing in 1st and giving me poetry-level prose that's meant to be a scholar of the arts but you just wrote 4 paragraphs about a dog that is barely comprehensible, you may have just killed my buzz because I don't write that way. Everyone has their own style and approach, that's fine. But there are just certain styles that if I can't understand what's written and feel comfortable reading your style, I'm done. I by no means mean this as a vanity thing, I can dig a lot of other styles. There's just a point where things just are too much. I love good descriptors, but this is a hobby my friend, not my debut novel. I don't care about post length too much, but do give me something to work with.

Just someone who shares my obsession with romance plots, tbh.
