Semi-Literate+ RPers Club [DEAD;NEW LINK IN FIRST POST]

[Limerence]

If I see one more scene character I'm going to shoot something. I have been seeing them everywhere. EVERYWHERE. What is so goshdarn interesting about these poor little scene kids that makes you people want to RP them?! That and the female character with the long, shining golden-red hair that could never get messed up etc. My God, I've been turned away from one too many RPs by this sort of thing. It's really starting to get annoying.

I swear to God, the next female charrie I'm making is going to be extremely overweight and ugly. I just want to prove people wrong.

I know right? =__=

Seriously, people need to get a grip on their characters. Not every girl on the planet has perfectly curled/straightened hairstyles and flawless faces. Same for body types.

Honestly, I see this as a whole nother form of Sue-ing. Even if a character has flaws personality wise, shouldn't it be taken to heart that real people aren't all drop-dead sexy? >.<

Totally agree with this.

The way that I wrote my character description makes her sound that way, she's actually just average looking.

I have a problem describing my average look characters (which is quite a few of them, thank you very much). I mean, my 'speshul' characters end up with at least a paragraph, but that can be explaining WHY they're just the most repulsive beasts on earth, but then there's just the normal people and I'm like 'well... he's blonde... and tall-ish... he looks kinda nice... but he's not special.'
Annnnd it makes me feel like I am fail, because big shiny paragraphs just look nice! XD

Yeah... mini rant while we're on the subject.

[Limerence]

I always fail at character forms, no joke. >.<

I don't see how people can post so many epic paragraphs just describing a single person. It makes me feel so lame. xD

This >_< My forms fail. Badly.

Guys, there are other words to use to describe characters other than the ones you're usuing
Describe the shape of his jaw, use body type terminology, stop using pretty words. You're the ones that have the job of conveying what your character looks like. If your character is average. make it avergae. Stop using positive or overly pretty words. There are plenty out there.

I typically make my characters like me - skinny. XD I guess it's just the way I'm built? *shrugs* Doesn't mean I'm perfect, which means my characters definitely aren't, either! My personality type is already not supposed to exist according to some people (nice with a temper, yo!), so I just find that kinda funny. XD

ANYWAY! Enough harping about that for now. :3 Should owners of semi-lit RPs be... I don't know... strict with their role-plays? I'm not. XD I typically let anyone who has at least decent grammar into my RPs! XD

Then I get all offended when people say it's not semi-lit anymore apparently. Even though I have absolutely no right to feel that way!!! XD

One more plot for you people ouo
Lil' pet, lil' pet, lil' pet sitting there. "Ha" you mutter to yourself, looking back at the apartment your owner lived in. Although a bit of bubblegum pink paint is peeling from the walls, the place looked good enough to live in, and it looks good enough now. But really? Did you really want to stay there, where you where the underpet and that other stupid little animal was pampered to the maximum once brought home two weeks ago? You hiss to yourself and turn around only to see a group of other pets staring at you. Little beady eyed parrots, nonsense tough bulldogs, silent black cats and the occasional exotic snake. Everyone is staring at you. "Ya tough 'nough to join 's? Escaped, have ya? Ah wel, ya won' need to get 'ested then" one of the cats say, and with a nod of his head, the whole group follows.
Live as a stray? Join them? It's your choice, mate.
Your choice.

This may sound cruel... but I believe that semi-lit roleplay owners should be strict about who they let in. Semi-lit, in my book, means a decent paragraph. If they can't type one, they shouldn't be in that roleplay. Really, for the good of others and that person. It's hard to keep my muse up and write well if I'm responding to someone who writes very little, and if there are many good roleplayers, the less skilled person usually gets ignored.

And, I remember I used to join lit roleplays when I was still only semi-lit. xD Stupid me. I ended up feeling so bad about my pathetic posts that I usually quit after the intros were posted.
