This complaint applies to 1x1s because of course GM's make the intro post. XD

I hate people shoving introduction posts on me. It comes off very rude.

I do enjoy making introduction posts but when my partner says I've gotta make the first post, it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Like, we should talk about whose character is probably the root of the first scene and see whether they need to be led into the scene or if they're already set up. I think who starts an intro depends on the RP's situation. But when I have 3-4 folks making me start an intro, it's going to take a few days for me to even have time to get something up.

Worst part is I sometimes spend a good 1-2 hours making an intro only to have the partner see it and then change their mind and leave. Like...thanks for wasting my time, pal. Fuck you!

Usually I ask who wants to start (usually it ends up being me) but I never outright ask someone to start because it seems rude. I've had on very rare occasions, have had the other partner offer to start and I think that is just so sweet of them. I understand some people feel pressured with intros to either not write too much but still offer enough background so things get off on the right foot but somehow it seems a lot of folks shy away from it.

When I am busy and someone asks me to start, I tell them it'll be a day or two before I can post (which is true when school is the cause) and they're free to post. Then of course a day later, they ask for that intro. Buddy, you've got time, why don't you start instead of asking me? 

I don't know...

I'm used to starting, I don't mind doing it but at times it comes off like they're nervous or lazy and I don't want to write with someone who is nervous or lazy. It's the first post, even if you think yours sucks, it's going to get better. But what I hate the most (it's happened a lot) is I'm tasked to make the intro and then a reply never comes. If something's wrong, tell me! I'll fix it. If you see I gave you more/less than you expected, try to match it as best you can but saying nothing and vanishing just makes me grind my teeth when the next person asks me to start us off.

*shakes head* I just wish people were more courteous of each other and I guess more confident and communicative. Introductions should be fun for both people, not a chore or a place for judgement.
