Have you ever created a role-play and if so do you like doing
so more or less than just joining an rp?

tbh, i just like joining rps. i get a ton of ideas for rps but just like
ari said, i never go through with them. the ones i do make end up
being dead after a while so yeah, i'd rather just join rps.

where do you find quotes/sayings for your forms? do songs help? books?
i use songs exclusively. sometimes it takes some effort, but i can pretty
much always come up with a "theme song" of sorts for a character, and
from there i'll just take the most relevant lyrics from that one song and
use them to decorate the form. idk. i prefer lyrics over quotes because
they're more flexible, like you can just cut out the parts you want and
stick them wherever and it's fine because they're like short, standalone
sentences, while it's harder to incorporate an entire quote and have it
make sense unless you put it all in one section, which i personally don't
like to do.

have you ever written for a character so easily and naturally that it felt
like they were just writing themselves?
most of my characters are easy to write when i actually have the motiv-
ation to sit down and make a reply. the only example i have that isn't
from months ago is adrian, but yeah. for me, the plot is what makes the
difference; the words come more naturally if something interesting is
going on. if nothing's happening or if i dislike the interaction between
my character and that of the other person, then it gets a lot harder.

have you ever created a roleplay and if so do you like doing so more or
less than just joining an rp?
i have, but i'm absolutely awful at maintaining them. i like coming up
with plot ideas, writing the synopsis, and coding the thread, but after
that i tend to lose interest really easily. so yeah, i get excited as hell
while i'm making them, but in most scenarios they lose that spark for
me within a day or two and i end up ditching them. tbh i kind of pref-
er just joining rps because it's less stressful for me; i don't need to up-
date the front page, i don't need to message people about finishing th-
eir forms, and it's not really my responsibility to keep everyone excit-
ed for the roleplay to start.

since we're all throwing questions out there, here's another one:

Code: Select all

[b]do you have any old characters or posts that make you cringe when you see them now?[/b]

oh god, i have so many. i thought it would be a fun idea to search the
name "natascha" from my posts since i used to use it for all of my char-
acters. big mistake. i found a bunch of stuff from 2010, back when i
didn't know you were supposed put spaces after punctuation. here's a
great one:

( what is Natascha a werewolf, Vampire or a compination o the two?)

Rose jumped around and graved her sword that was still in it's holder at her side she smiled at the girl " What is your name?"

((In between.She's a VampWolf))

Natascha decided to trust the girl,and said,"I'm Natascha"

have you ever written for a character so easily and naturally that it felt
like they were just writing themselves?
this is something that i don't find very easily when i'm making charries.
sometimes when i try to write things out for them it's a bit more
difficult than usual, but i do have one that i've found very easy to
roleplay with. currently in a one x one, i play the character atlas
and i just found it so easy to write for him, i could write page after
page after page cx but yeah. doesn't happen for me too often.

have you ever created a roleplay and if so do you like doing so more or
less than just joining an rp?
ahh, i've never created one so i don't really know what to expect ; u ;
i'm a bit nervous too since i don't know if many people will join or
if i'll leave plot-holes here and there, it's just shyness and anxiety
that gets in the way.

do you have any old characters or posts that make you cringe when you see them now?
spiff omg this question gives me nightmares. so i went back and
searched through my old stuff and found my first form ever.
oh the horror, click on it if you dare. then there was this in 2013.

Winter
Winter smiled. "That's so sweet! I-I sing too.." She murmured, brushing her hair from her bright blue eyes. "But I'm not very good." She autimatically said, blushing. Drumming her hand against her thighs, she said softy. "Let's get back, before someone catches us." She teased warmly.

look at that spelling. it was truly a masterpiece.
