Do you ever bond with your RP colleagues to the point you consider them family?

Absolutely! 🥰❤ I have an entire list of people that became close friends of mine because of this site, and here is also where I met my fiance. We've been together for over three years now. 💑

yes, i think it would be more weird if you didn't make close friends with the community you do your hobby with wouldn't it?

I mean, I've made friends through RP. To the point I'd consider them like family would be a bit... far. I tend to be a bridge-burner, not a bridge-builder.

Yes! There's only so much time you can spend chatting and writing with someone before your lives intertwine – especially once you find interests and common ground beyond that shared hobby of roleplaying, and get to know and care about folks as more than a username.

I met some of my closest friends here when I was seventeen, so five-ish years ago now. (6 for some, which is a scary thought!) While we started as just roleplay colleagues, it has extended into a routine of regular bad-awful-trash movie nights, video games and online boardgames, tv marathons, and for lack of a better word, 'normal' friendship stuff, just over a great distance. We've been friends since roughly the end of high school and through all of college/university, which means even if we're separated by an ocean, we get to enter adult mundanity and hit milestones at the same time. Growing up and going through such formative trials and tribulations together honestly makes it feel like some kind of familial bond.

Our plans for a 2020 meet-up were put on hold because of the Rona, though, so while I might love and treasure them, still gotta cross the hurdle of meeting the Americans face to face ._.

Of course! This is a hobby I love dearly and in the twelve years I have been roleplaying, I have met and befriended so many people. Some drifted over the years for a myriad of reasons but some have been with me since the start. So there is no doubt that I have forged friendships that are honestly closer to me than some members of my own family.

So far I have really only bonded with one person on this site to the point we try to video chat once a week if we can. I guess I can consider her family as we draw closer. I'd be open to making more friends! There were times I'd RP with RPers almost every day for a year or so and were never considered 'family.' But close friends.

Of course. Bonding with other Roleplayers is half the fun. It's actually how I met one of my first friends in high school after transferring several states over. Not even that, but I also dated another Roleplayer in the past, so that was fun too.

Only one person through my years of writing and that person I actually married. That's the only exception. These days I'm not looking for anything beyond writing partners.

I always try to become friends with my partners. It's a lot harder to do in groups though, as timezone differences seem to worsen when the incompatibility isn't resolved by us meeting halfway, but by people going by whatever is the majority (if 3/5 people are from North America, as an European player most of the time I spent awake the others aren't even online let alone engaging in the OOC, and quite the contrary it is likely to become most active after or when I'm just about to go to sleep...).

Interesting question. I have made a couple friends, and dated a few (all over long distance and none from this site)
But it's something I am open to! I generally enjoy making new friends. (Duh. Who doesn't.) But I can be a bit of a closed book without meaning to be.

Interesting question. I certainly made very close friends through roleplaying, and became closer to some friends when we started roleplaying with them.
