[OOC] The Hobbit/LOTR: Another Age of Evil Beginnings { Elven & Angel }

[AngelBites15]

At least "The Desolation of Smaug" is over and done with.

[TheElvenJedi]

Yeah, guess so

[AngelBites15]

On the bright side, Thranduil will come back.

[TheElvenJedi]

Yeah, I guess so. Though I got to admit I am kind of losing flare for this rp, typing responses for it is starting to feel very forced for me and I'm not really enjoying it anymore

[AngelBites15]

How can I make it more interesting or easier for you? I can make changes for you, plus most of the storyline is coming from my ideas, and it could be causing you to lose the muse for it. How can I help you with this to make it easier? What elements do you want to add?

[TheElvenJedi]

Well for starters I actually hate the writing style of "let's just both play all the canon characters whenever we feel like it" I HATE it.

I prefer to have certain characters that certain people play, and then we always know who is supposed to say what and when. Secondly, I'm sorry to say it but I honestly don't know how else to put it; the way you write your posts bothers me, because you don't break up any of your speech at all you just write it in a giant block of people all talking at once and the only reason I was ever able to respond at all was because I've watched the movies so many times that I know who is meant to say what, so I don't get confused by it but it annoys me to no end!!

Also, having to have everything exactly like the movies sucks and takes the fun out of it completely, I feel like I can't add anything that diverts from that or goes more by the book, or ANYTHING for that matter, without getting a tantrum thrown in my face because it's not the way you wanted it to be. And I'm at the point where I don't HAVE any ideas to add because all I'm doing is robotically replying exactly what I "should" be according to the movie to keep you happy :L

[AngelBites15]

Okay, I get it. It's too much, and certain characters have to belong to someone. Alrighty then, I will stop doing the jumble on the dialogue and I will put my posts down to a level that is smaller.

So, how can I put this? As far as I know, you are playing Thranduil, Tauriel, and Mel, while I have Maleficent, Legolas, and almost everybody else. So, for the canons now, who do you want? I know that Kili and Maleficent are supposed to be talking to each other with each of us playing one of them, but who do you want?

[AngelBites15]

I have edited my post to make it shorter, and also made it to not be jumped to the next scene. So, I have made it small to give you the chance to respond in the same scene.

[TheElvenJedi]

Well, I don't particularly mind who I play or how many for that matter other than the characters that I already have, I just hate when it's just "let's whack in whichever character is supposed to be in the scene and just keep going till I decide to stop" because there's literally no structure.

I pretty much always just play whoever the other person doesn't feel like playing as really

I'll work on a response in a minute, I'm going to have to go eat soon

[AngelBites15]

Okay, thank you. I just didn't want to make things hard for you. And I worry too, since I have a habit of skipping ahead or doing things my way. Like I said, it's a habit.

So, I will follow to what you want, and we will go from there. Thank you for your opinion.

[TheElvenJedi]

Thank you for understanding.

Well, for starters I won't be doing any of that ridiculous Thranduil being a jerk and only helping the Lake people because he had to, because that's totally uncanon -_- in the book he heard about their troubles beforehand, turned around and went back to get aid and helped them because he didn't want to see them suffer

[AngelBites15]

Okay, that's fine. In that case, we will do it your way.

[TheElvenJedi]

I would have liked to have done a ton more stuff more according to the book as well but it's too late now so it doesn't matter *shrug*

[AngelBites15]

So sorry if that's a problem. Well, at least we did a few things by the book. :)

[TheElvenJedi]

Look, if we're just going to be switching between characters again then I'm not going to be able to keep posting, so you need to tell me which characters you're writing for and then stick to those, or we need to just stop this roleplay right now because I am at the point where I am so fed up with it I want to throw my laptop out of the window!!

[TheElvenJedi]

Like what? We literally did nothing by the book, except that I managed to squeeze a few of the book sentences into Thranduil's interrogation with Thorin. That was the only time we ever had anything even remotely like the book

[AngelBites15]

I stuck to Bard for that part, my bad. Basically, you want me to stick to one of the characters per scene, if that's what you mean. It's also hard for me to not know what you would prefer me to put down within a post. I made a mistake, yes, but if a mistake is made, I will fix it. Also, I'm not a pro-Roleplayer like you, and I'm not an advanced writer, although I do try.

[TheElvenJedi]

No, not that you need to stick to only one character per scene, I never said that -_-

I meant that you can't just have me write for Smaug for a post, and then you suddenly jump in and 'steal' the dialogue or lines writing for him for the next post! THAT is what I meant. So, for example, at the beginning I said to you for canon characters I enjoy playing as Thranduil, Dwalin, Balin and Smaug, and then I said that I didn't mind how we shared out playing the rest of the characters, that means that if I'm writing as certain characters you DON'T write at them for your posts, you stick to the characters YOU picked out and were writing as.

You'd be bloody angry if all of a sudden I took Maleficent in a post and started making her do a bunch of stuff because I wanted to run off ahead with the story wouldn't you? That's exactly what you're doing with every single post you make.

It's not pro-roleplaying, it's basic roleplaying manners. You stick to your characters and you don't control what other people's characters do! You wait for them to respond how they will respond, if you want something where you just write out whatever you like, you should just go write a fanfic..

[AngelBites15]

Alright, alright. My mind just trailed off at that time, and sometimes, I forget. But fine, I explicitly understand. I have Legolas, Bard, and Fili, so I clearly understand what you mean. I apologize, I really am. I can already imagine how bloody angry you are, and I don't want to make it worse and cause you to bail. I'll bear with you, and follow.

[TheElvenJedi]

Right so you're just going to do those three? because I mean there's a literal crap ton more characters to have between the two of us, I can't do ALL of them -_-
