I'm mad that Dark Fantasy is a niche market. seriously I'm all for the light-hearted and jokes all around fantasy stories but I enjoy my despair and whatnot. *sips tea*
Argh... All the sci-fi RP's I joined seem to have frosted over
Um, so, yeah... It's a minor bitch, but still I wanna get my sci-fi jollies

I find it's easier to find people into the same things as you and make them into your friends, than to make friends and then see if they like the same things.
Consider finding an RP that you like then, and sticking with it and chatting people up. A friendly bit of banter goes a long way.
<Snipped quote by The Mage>
Find friends that you enjoy RPing with, introduce them to each other, and if they get along, bam, you have a dedicated group of roleplayers. That's how I've started doing it and that's what I typically have best results with. But I have friends that are whimsical, so it doesn't work as well. When you have friends that are still very into roleplaying, then it'll work. And then you can use randoms to fill in the blank spots.

I was mostly referring to a promising RP that crashed and burned recently since it had over twenty people playing at a time, and was an absolute mess (I can handle that many people if, you know, they aren't rapid fire posting back and forth). The GM totally ignored my suggestion for cutting the RP off, and... it just died like a week later. lol
