building a group of friends to RP with whom you can rely upon to join your RPs is very useful, but not always easy to do. But to do that, you'll either have to have luck when joining RPs, or be good at recruiting, which often benefits from the former already being achieved. This, of course, is a paradox.

If you wish to do it in that last order, we recommend looking in the guide section for an IntCK/OoC guide. We know there's at least one good one by HeySeuss there.

If you can get a couple of friends to join, or just people you've RP'd with before, it makes everything seem a lot easier because you know what to expect.

When attracting new people, it's already been said, but a catchy title and fun formatting helps. It shows you've put effort into it. Personally, I tend to get overwhelmed when there's a mountain of information in the Interest Check so I try to summarize the main idea in a short, easy-to-read paragraph and then list any extra details/information/background in a hider. Also I keep any important information (meaning anything you might want to be constantly referencing such as accepted characters and world building info) in neat categories in the OP of the OOC to cut down on confusion and answering unnecessary questions.
