Looking to start an RP

[Guest StringHeart]

As the title says I'm looking to start an RP. I've had a lot of spare time lately and i'm looking to start one up just for the fun of it, maybe flesh out some of my characters.

but since i'm a tad new to this forum, there are a few things i want to know first.

what kind of rp is popular around here, and when are people usually online. is there a type of rp that last longer around here, and what kills rp on this forum.

in other forums I've role played in these had facts had a fair amount of power over the fate of the rp

Well with this forum the only thing I've ever seen kill an RP was people not posting in the first place.

Well with this forum the only thing I've ever seen kill an RP was people not posting in the first place.

that'll do it, but i was curious on what makes them stop posting, do they need non stop action and plot twists or is that what chases them off?

Eh me personally, I have no life so I'm always on, so long as I have wi-fi and the site isn't down for me. So I am in for anything. (I know that didn't really answer anything just thought I would let you know.

[Guest StringHeart]

well, it did let me know there was another person on here with too much free time on their hands....or hooves in this case.

[CloudShimmers]

Make that 3, Hurray for free time!

[Guest StringHeart]

building up a rp now, just for the heck of it. should i post it in 18+ or general?

[QueenChrysalis747]

I perfer 18+ for freedom in case we want to go that far in what ever case it may be

[StringHeart1257]

Well my last Rp died before it got a on it's feet....(might have had something to do with all the problems i was having at the time with my account)

but anyway, i might start over soon and try something new. would any pony be interested?

heck i'd be ok finding more folks to pm rp with, its just as fun!

[ShadowWalking18]

When not working....I have nothing to do at times so I am all up for RP. Since I am new to Forum RP I hope everypony will go easy on me as I learn the ropes.

I do have a question.....what can we be?

[MissOwnBreed]

Cool well I'll join any RP. I even started one.

[ShadowWalking18]

Could I be...a neowalker of the magic universe?

[StringHeart1257]

Had an interesting idea, for something similar to an RP, should i post that here since it's RP-like, or in the writing section since it's like a story type thing?

Idea for a game/story/activity

A fusion of Role playing and Writing collaborations.

In High school my English teacher made up do a "game" of sorts. we would each be given a topic or subject, and write a story about or involving it. the catch was that we had a time limit, and when it ran out we'd pass out paper to the next person, and that person would continue the story.

by the time we got out own story back it would usually be very different than how we intended it.

I wish to have a similar game here.

we would start out with a set up to make sure it was organized

-first we'd decide who was playing

-then think up a basic theme or concept, something simple that we can mold as we write

-maybe come up with our first character together

-we'd decide on a posting order, if a person doesn't post within a certain time we'd move onto the next person

then it would go something like this:

I'd do my best to start off strong in the first post, then the next person would write a post to continue it, then the next person would post after them. you would write the next part of the story, adding to it and developing it in your own way, we would like to see atleast a paragraph in a post. Third person, past tense would probably be best.

it would continue in a round format. if a new writer wanted to jump in, they would have to ask first.

-adding characters would be allowed, but i'd try to stay away from your own characters since other people would be writing them.

-I'd be all for adding a cast to it, maybe even setting it up with a profile based thing so we can know how the character is suposed to be written.

-not sure when we would end it, maybe keep going till most of us lost interest and finish it off as best we can.

if you can't tell this is mostly written off the cuff, i'd like more feed back on this before trying anything, suggestions would be super helpful, and i'd like to know who is interested in playing.

can't wait to hear from you all.
