Apolline Allura Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hello, I am approaching the threshold of acceptance for my OC, Blaze Bright, as I have been interested in RPing for awhile here. I have some general knowledge of how to write, but I tend to get impatient enough to write myself into a corner. I want to start my own RP thread, but I want to know if all RP's are formed around a general goal of some sort. Skye said in one post that RP's are essentially just stories, so I am aware that they can be self contained or continued in other RP's, but I would like better insight to the process so that I can be guided away from the usual set of pitfalls that happen upon me when I write. That run-on sentence being a more rare occurence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 It really depends upon what you want to do with the story. You might have a plot or a goal in mind, or you might just give a story a starting point. The individual personalities of the other RPers and their characters can sometimes take a story in a direction you hadn't anticipated. If you have firm goal, you can communicate that in the RP or in PMs to the other players. If you don't have a firm goal, you can just react to what the other characters say and go along. Anticipating what another player might write next is part of the fun of this . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
