osprey77 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 ...and now I'm going to try again. Months ago, I posted a topic featuring my earth pony, Heart Song, and it just sort of fizzled. This time, I want to drum up some interest BEFORE hand, and perhaps flesh out a plot. If you’re interested, here's some basic info: My Character Bios: (I'll probably use Heart Song) http://www.canterlot.com/topic/9078-ospreys-log/ I generally like to keep it two three or four posters, so that it's easier to maintain a posting order and avoid stalling. I'm a flexible role-player who runs her posts through Microsoft Word first to catch most spelling/grammar errors. I also do everything i can to avoid single-sentence replies (a pet peeve of mine), and try my best to post quality writing. If you read the bios, you know Thes is looking for heart, and Heart is looking for home, but the key is they DON'T find what they're looking for: not yet. I'm open to setting/conflict suggestions-- I don't try to control the entire story. So, that's my pitch. Is there anyone interested in RP-ing with either of my characters? (Preferably Heart, but Thes is fun, too.) I start school soon, but I'm homeschooled and work fast, so I'm pretty consistent during the first semester (second semester gets hard, but I do my level best.)

Xiee Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Give it time. It's very difficult to get RPs especially during the pony drought. Why not join other existing open RPs instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterscotch Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Also, it helps to advertise in the OOC chatter, or in the chat, as long as you don't keep bringing it up every five minutes or bumping your topics frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osprey77 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Ah. Thank you for the tips. And as for joining existing RPs, I tried that too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osprey77 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 THanks! i think I will...I've got tHes started ina new thread, but this works wonderfully for Heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've actually been in a bit of a drought myself, I would love to pick up another topic that I would be able to post in while I'm waiting for other topics. I would like to participate with Ice Storm if it would be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osprey77 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 That's great! If you want to RP in Ponyville, then it's probably best I use Heart, but if you'd rather I use Thes, just let me know! (You can read their bios and tell me which you'd prefer I use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Heart Song would be fine. If you could link me to the topic, since it's already up, I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 If you would like a second pony, I have the following ponies that live in or near Ponyville:Sky Flare - Pegasus Stallion - stunt ponyLore Weaver - Unicorn Stallion - owner of a bookstore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osprey77 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 @xIceStormx it's not up already...@Lux Welcome! As for which to use, you can decide which works best for the plot.Speaking of which, I guess my thought was it starts simply enough, with Heart re-settling into Ponyville, but then something happens that makes the plot take a turn…Not quite sure what though, it depends on how ‘adventure-y’ you guys want to get. I’m pretty flexible, so you guys clue me in on which direction the unexpected turn should go. One we get a basic idea, I can start the thread.

IceStorm Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hmm, it depends on what you're kinda looking for. If you're looking for a pony to give her a reason to not want to stay in Ponyville, then Ice isn't that pony. In fact that's the very reason she left Canterlot was to get away from rudeness. As far as anything else though, Ice is a very loyal friend, and she would most likely do anything to help Heart. Perhaps something goes wrong with her store or maybe it's a family emergency that pulls her away from Ponyville? I could see Ice assisting with something like that even if she barely knew the pony.

osprey77 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Oh, I didn't mean she leaves ponyville, I just meant something happens to make it a less-than-ordinary day (unfortunately, I don't know what). She's going to stay in Ponyville at least until Thes finds her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Oh, Okie Dokie Lokie then. Looking forward to getting this started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osprey77 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 So...any ideas? (I'm kind of stumped...Lux, any input?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hmmm...Maybe Heart is trying to move into Ponyville but a storm is threatening her move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 hmm, something like that sounds interesting enough. I haven't had a good RP done in a storm yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otsdarva Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Got room for one more? My character Douglas Trotter is an earth pony who runs a delivery business. Running with the moving in plot, I suppose he could be shoe-horned in as the pony hired to move Heart's possessions into her new place at Ponyville.

osprey77 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 ^Sure! That's fine. (I'm going to be really busy today, unable to post, but I'll start the topic tomorrow--Pinki-Pie Promise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilia Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I can give you a topic with Thes involved, if you want...I have Hope Locket with a new open topic...and it would be nice to work with the topic and Hope for a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
