More and more often I find people drop off the face of the planet, or I loose interest. To keep that to a minimum, I'm putting more rules down than I have previously.
1: We need a plot, A good, solid plot. I really do like to plan things out. There's only so much 'go with the flow' I can take. It tends to work best for me to have a good idea of some of the larger events and such, main points, themes and such. Do we need to plot out every detail? No. But we need to have more than a beginning and end.
2: PLEASE. Please be literate! I've lost interest in so many rps because of this issue. I understand occasional grammatical mistakes, the occasional missed spelling error is fine, but I ask that you have a decent grasp of the English language. At least proofread it! Not to mention if your points don't match my post, or if you seem to disregard a large portion of my post, I'm not going to be replying. Nothing is worse that realizing an rp buddy hasn't actually taken the time to read my post, but skimmed it over and missed much.
3: Quality over quantity, to an extent. I expect at minimum 3 good solid paragraphs, and upwards of seven. I will do the same. I understand if when conversing things get to 3. Under that we really aren't moving the story well, now are we? If you need some pieces of dialogue from my character to help bolster yours, that's quite fine! I'm open to that as well. But, I'll still expect at minimum 3 of your own.
4: Work WITH me on the world building. I've had so many times where I've had to come up with most of everything, and I've had times where I had little say. Both lead to the same result, me leaving or asking to start something new. I am more than happy to work things out and hash out plots, characters and worlds. I'm willing to give lots, but I also need to get something back.
5: Communication; It's the key to a successful Rp with me. Not happy with how a scene was done? Message me and work with me. Not sure where to take things? Lets talk about it. Having just a shitty day and need a friend to listen to you? Or just wanting to talk? Hit me up! I love meeting new people online, and getting to know them as more than a writing partner. I write better when I know the person, even just a little. Even if it's a hard conversation, like you're not enjoying the Rp anymore, talk to me! I'd rather be able to start up a new rp or leave on good terms than just be dropped like a baby giraffe.
6: If we feel it's dead, let it die. We can start again, we can plot again. I don't like kicking a dead horse.
7: No one under 19: Not to be rude, but I find it a tad uncomfortable to rp with people underage. I like mature themes. Dark subject, smut, gore, drugs and alcohol. I don't do fade to blacks or prance about with that sort of business. If I wanted to write PG and leave out the dark stuff, I would be writing tween novels. With that said, someone who can approach dark topics in a mature way is what I'm looking for. Not to say people under 19 cant be mature, but this keeps me comfortable. Sorry to the youngins out there.
