Genuine question: if you're treating a "get to know you thread" as equivalent to starting a conversation with a random stranger at a bus stop, how can you be sure that you'll enjoy writing the thread with the other character? (Or rper, for that matter, assuming they're not a preexisting rp friend?)

(of course, it's entirely possible that we lie at opposite ends of the "willing to talk to a random stranger" scale!)

I guess I'm struggling to understand where would you put it, if not just a section at the beginning of the profile? (And who threads with other people without reading their ocs' profiles anyway?)

+1 to language like "content notice" instead of "trigger warning". I don't have triggers, I'm desensitized to fictional content in general, but there are still some things I don't want to rp (or that I'm ok rping with some characters but not others).

I generally try to post as I get replies, but if a bunch of them stack up, I'll try to set aside time to take care of the entire stack at once. I feel bad leaving some people on owed but not others.

characters with wildly diverging opinions of each other is such a trip (and I'm not talking about unrequited romance)

People take it literally when they describe characters as wanting or doing things against the author's direction?

I've always just meant it jokingly as "whoops I wrote myself into a corner when trying to make X personality interact with Y plot and now I have to figure out a way to reconcile the two." And I'm a fairly extensive plotter (to the point that my rp confession is whoops, I have a habit of outlining entire plots that never end up getting threaded, maybe I should rein myself in on that).

A lot of yelling, cajoling, and bribery tbh

And sometimes I rewrite the plot to let them do what they want but end up at the same destination anyway

My trademark is apparently ride or die + emotionally repressed about it

one episode into kino's journey and I turned to my husband and asked "do we want to adopt this child"

all the time ueueue

I missed the eclipse but it was only a partial in my area anyway, so nbd

looking so respectfully

Honestly I prefer a mix of both fast and slow posters.

Someone who posts once or twice a month = fine.
The entire site only gets a new post once or twice a month = I think people have lost interest, and can't stay invested in my own plots.

I've been on a kick with both taking and making want ads lately

"be the change you want to see" etc etc

feels bad feeling like the most active person in a discord that's not my own

(is that a call to get a life? probably. will I get a life? probably not)
