A plead for help!

talula · 07-03-2009

Ok, I'm gonna come straight out and say it! I have never rp'd before. Ever.

I really really admire everyone who does, and especially those who do it well. I like to look through the old rp threads and see what fun things people have, and I really really wanna be like you *hums jungle book a bit*

But i just cant. How do i do it? What do i write?

Why, when i start a post in an rp thread, am i overcome by a crippling shyness that I'm doing it completely wrong? That everyones gonna laugh at me? that im following the wrong story line?

Please please please, can anyone give me any hints or tips, or even just some reassurance?

Thanks in advance! xxx

That's what you do in a roleplay, more or less. I don't really know how to explain it.

Roleplaying is just multiple people collectively writing a story, pretty much. n.n
Just try it, and you'll find that you get better with practice, like most everything else.

"Do what I did with Mesmerale: write every post in this thread in roleplay format." Candyman said, being helpful.

"Thank you for all your lovely replies," Talula shyly uttered.

Like that?

Exactly like that.

But the role-play format thing doesn't work if you don't know how to role-play, Candyman. I knew how, I was just out of practice.

Neonite's said what I believe in: Role-playing is just multiple people writing the same story from a specific point of view.

All roleplay threads on ADISC are shit.

If you want to learn how to roleplay well join a decent community based solely on roleplaying/the discussion of.

However, if you're so fond of mediocrity it doesn't require much imaginative effort on your part to join in. The hysteria is unnecessary.

Hey, Priest. I'm working on it, aren't I?

I will raise the roleplaying forum on this site to at least a decent level, okay? Give me time.
