I've took part in and/or read half a dozen 1X1 RPs and none of them were what people are describing here. The two I read, were the longest lasting RP's I've seen on this site, with good plots, realistic and gradual world-building and amazing character development and relationship development.1X1 roleplays seem to be more successful than groups because it's harder to get a bunch of people who are all willing to write in sync and not give up when it gets difficult.Of the 1X1's I've took part in, the key to avoiding smut is to bring more factors into the story, not just your main character. Discuss things OOC, lace background plots in that make the planet turn, spend a little more effort on cameo/side characters. It's easy to avoid "meat pounding" or whatever lol

"Meat Pounding" is now my favorite slang term for smut. 

Also, you are like a unicorn and doing what I wish moar of 1x1 was like. Good job!
