Apologies to all writing partners both current & prospective. Been sick for two weeks straight (and have to go to work regardless). No energy. Can't think straight. Taking a hiatus. Sorry again.

Where's the personality? The flavor? the drama? The struggle? The humanity? The texture of the time and the place in which this conversation is happening? In a word: where's the story?

Looking for Vampire and Hunter Rp mainly. Victorian era preferably. And prefer to play the vampire.

But won't say no to other offers or suggestions til I hear them!


When you say "prefer to play the vampire" do you mean you prefer to play it or you prefer your partner to play it?

And is this referring to "Plot 1" in the OP?
Obviously none of the "rules" for each section are actually set in stone and enforced. But let's say they were. Subsequently the Advanced section has four guidelines for quality, and I quote:
  • longer posts
  • in-depth plots
  • character development
  • extensive settings/lore
Now, again, pretending these are actually enforced, you cannot pick and choose, at your leisure, which rules you like and which you don't. If your story does not or cannot adhere to all four characteristics then it is not an Advanced RP, simply put.

Perhaps "High Casual," then, is a failsafe for the wary player. He acknowledges that his game follows some, or most, of these guidelines, but does not wish to deceive anyone into thinking it follows all of them. So he calls it High Casual and leaves it where it actually meets Section standards, albeit exceeding them in some measures.

For me personally "High Casual" means Advanced in every way except post length because my experience with players is writing more than they read, and long posts tending toward the redundant side moreover. If two pieces of writing manage to convey precisely the same emotions and events, but one is 800 words long while the other is 2,200, the shorter one will have richer prose, and a richer story, every time.
oh, sorry my bad; i'll do that now

Also, looks like your formatting is broken.
aesthetic asymmetry

Thanks for setting a deadline. Now I'll find the motivation to actually get off my ass and do it 👌 no sarcasm

I was about 30%-ish through my first app and I lost it, so I'm starting from scratch, but I'll get it in on time for sure
You can't create all that build-up and then just leave us hanging

I think he was talking about "collab posts" where several people enter a PiratePad room or download a Google Doc and then all work together on writing the same post. In theory we do it to give everyone a simultaneous chance to respond to the scene but more often it serves to muddle together several incompatible writing styles until the piece seems to have no clear "voice" at all outside the matter-of-factness of the events happening therein.
Comma splices are worse than Hitler. That is all.

Edit: Nah, I'll expound eventually. My two biggest writing peeves both revolve around punctuation.
