[quote=@rebornfan320] [@Poi] Then like Snow i think you two do not understand where i am coming from in terms of creativity or the ability to take a character and start from a set point then. I would like nothing more than to have a roleplay around anime or manga and i do not believe my are limited and i think it's a limit on the creativity angle for both of you and i think both of you believe what i want is terrible. [/quote] This post ^ explains part of your problem. If you refuse to accept it or not is not really my concern, but for a single and final time, I'll explain it to you. In terms of creativity, what you've displayed is the inability to see why people may look at a list of "canon x oc" pairings (that have no plot suggestions included and come from a total of six canons) and determine there is a limited scope that because your only pairings are canon x oc with no suggestions as to what would go on in the roleplay. The only generas are basically anime, and the only pairings are canon x oc. Therefore, your interest check can be shortened to "I want anime canon x oc pairings". That's fine, but you're missing many of the other things that people would also look for. What you're looking for is a specific form of roleplaying (based on the check, which, to be honest, is rather short in the details) for a specific set of canons. That puts you in front of a limited audience, and so your exposure is reduced. Based on your responses and admission, you don't take well to critical replies. That in and of itself shows you're inflexible. You are not flexible because instead of reading our points and asking why we made them, you immediately go on the defensive and create nonsensical "Negative Zone" memes determine others lack an imagination when your interest check is what seems to be lacking in content. No plots, just a list of canon x oc anime pairings. If that's all that goes on in your literary world, fine. That's not how everyone else works. If your immediate reaction to honest replies why people may not contact you as much as they would other checks is an example of how you treat people in general, then that gives an OOC reason why some people might just pass over and not want to deal with it. [quote] I would like nothing more than to have a roleplay around anime or manga[/quote] Nothing more. Ergo, you don't want more, and so you are limiting yourself to the canons of a few select anime or manga verses. Again, if that's your literary world, fine, but there's much more content that exists than that. [quote=@rebornfan320]But the way you commented you harshly criticized what i wanted anyway[/quote] I told you, in less words than my first post in this thread, that your offerings were fairly limited and revolved around canon x oc. I treat "blunt/honest" different from "harsh". Harsh connotates that I have some sort of investment or am acting to knock you off some sort of pedestal. At the time, I didn't really care. You complained, and I offered a reason why. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it harsh. If someone else comes in and said "yeah, that was pretty harsh" I'll give it another look and reconsider. [quote=@rebornfan320]i normally don't take criticism well anyway.[/quote] This is part of the problem. Criticism is key to actually learning anything. An echo chamber doesn't help you improve, and it doesn't solve your problem. [quote=@rebornfan320]To me in my interest checks it is NOT limited to me and i still believe that there are some still that lack imagination or a open viewpoint when it comes to things like a interest check.[/quote] To [b]me[/b] NOT limited to [b]me[/b] That's great, but, you're not appealing to you. Interest checks, and roleplaying in general, depends on you to look beyond your sphere of thoughts and interests to what other people might also like. You're entitled to your opinions, but the fact remains - if you're having such a problem finding people, perhaps there's something wrong with either the presentation of the opinions or with the way those opinions are matching with other people. Are you suggesting that all the people who pass by your roleplays lack the imagination to pull off a canon x oc roleplay? Perhaps they just want something of a different flavor?... again, you don't put much in your interest check, so on that basis alone you don't make it clear as to what you want to go on in the roleplays. People are filling the blanks in themselves, and apparently what is going into the blanks isn't very good, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. And as for an open viewpoint, I think I made enough foundation in this post so far to say that you need to open your own viewpoint a little more. [quote]i think both of you believe what i want is terrible.[/quote] [quote=@ArenaSnow][s]I feel like you're going to ignore all this[/s](...)[/quote] Apparently I was proven right, because not once did I say what you had was terrible. I do freely say that what you offer is somewhat limited and that you are unable to recognize that. [quote] it's a limit on the creativity angle[/quote] I'm not the one who made a thread that included six similar anime/manga canons featuring exclusively canon x oc pairings without even one plot suggestion.
