I enjoy the character approach. I think it really sets the tone of the thread and gives somewhat of a good idea of what other characters/writers would expect from my own; if it's your first time meeting them/reading about them, then going just a little in depth with their thoughts and beliefs can give a better first impression of who my character is initially.

Tbh, I'm super glad I found out about roleplaying. Collaborating with other writers to create memorable and fun plots is such a good feeling. <3

Dipping my toes into attempting to create a site (daring on my part tbh, I'd say), I never realized how hard it is to come up with a name for a site. Like... really hard. It can't just be anything, it has to fit the site's overall theme and genre. It makes me appreciate even the littlest things within the process!

I try to post all at once, just to get it off my chest if all the threads I'm in have been replied to. Keyword: try. XD I feel more organized and freer knowing every post that needed to be owed was owed all at once. Admittedly, there have been threads I was lowkey more invested in, which had a slight higher priority in. I found that hoarding made me more focused compared to doing it as I go, but I feel in my case it tends to depend on how fast a person posts AND how long their post is.

That said, this made me reflect on just how much threads I've bit off more than I could chew, which could make hoarding a lot more draining than expected, so I tend not to take on too many threads no matter how badly I wanted to plot with someone just to avoid burning myself out.

I'm sorry, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to meme. XD

This post really had me thinking on my experience in regular real life/slice of life and more action/political roleplays in regards to conflict that I'd like to reflect on! What I've noticed (and to reiterate again, through my own experience) is that conflict in SOL settings, amongst characters than a plot wide type, is that SOL you don't really have any room to go crazy with conflict because everything is normal. A little too normal. Even if there is conflict or there is room to create conflict, it can't go all out, if you will.

Then you'll run into another problem of whether or not characters would be able to participate or somehow fit themselves into your own character's conflict. AND on top of that, your character could be an outcast because they don't necessarily fit with other characters, THEN you might have to water it down just so you won't sit there with 0 activity from your character. Conflict is definitely possible and can be fun (I'd know!), but you really got tread lightly and question whether or not you're willing to step out of your comfort zone.

Action stuff... pretty self-explanatory. There's a lot more room for conflict and the types of conflict to create and partake in. You can get away more with some obscurity because this isn't a mundane setting you're dealing with. You're not dealing with (some of the time) normal people you'd see walking down the street. The stakes are higher and there's more to lose, which is what I love writing on action-based/political sites!

I LOVE gambling with the idea of a powerful character losing it all. Just to reiterate on what I've said on another thread, nothing's more intriguing to me than someone who's had it all, at the top of their game, only to lose it because their head is so far in their ass they can't see anything but their own shit. On top of that? Trying to climb back at the top. It's just a fun little plot to play out and I'm not at all uncomfortable with putting any of my character's in uncompromising positions; this also goes for a SOL setting as well.

Thank you! <33

I love it when my character gets humbled. No, seriously. Your typical cocky and narcissistic asshole who's at the peak of their game only to be brought back down to earth through a shove from the rooftops?
