Since I'm new here and it's easier for me to recognize all the differences because of that, I've got a chunk to drop here.

Somewhere I read that GOOD writing consists of using words that are readable. Not over the top words, where you're scraping the synonym barrel for the most unused, unappreciated, unheard-of word to toss in your roleplay. I get it. You want to sound intelligent, but just use proper grammar and don't repeat the word "softly" for your every adjective. A good roleplay is one you can read and be ABSORBED into. Googling ten words a paragraph is not immersive.

I can agree with this. If someone is a good writer they shouldn't just pluck words out of the dictionary but use unique words that can help emphasize the scene.

In one of my roleplays I used this line, [i]"Their [u]minacious[/u] laugh is more than enough confirmation"[/i].

[quote]minacious
[i]mɪˈneɪʃəs/Submit
[u]adjective-rare[/u]
menacing; threatening.[/i][/quote]

While the word may not be known in that simple line, if you read the entire scene you would already have a vibe for the scene. So even without looking up in the dictionary you will be able to gauge the approximate meaning. But I also used it once, not 10 times because it sounds cool.
