the best advice I can give you is find one where its easy to follow the plot, and stay away from romancy ones if that's not for you I can PM you links to a couple of the ones I am a part of, if you'd like. also feel free to message me about anything else

Thank you! Its wonderful there are so many great people on cs. I will probably ask a few things.

I agree the best way to get into the hang of things is to just get started.
This is also a good thread that has classes on roleplaying. Roleplay School

There is also a roleplay guide here

Well, I wouldn't call myself a 'seasoned' roleplayer, but I've been around the forums a couple times.
1. Read the rules and follow them! As a beginner I had trouble with this. Trust me...just...do it.
2. Don't mess with other people's characters. They will get really ticked off at you. And it's against the rules.
3. Avoid one-liner roleplays. Sure,they're easier, but they suck. I have never read a one-liner/nonliterate roleplay that came anywhere close to a decent plot, or nice characters.
4. A personal rule of mine is that I won't roleplay anything I wouldn't do in real life. Just a personal thing, but I thought I'd put it out there.
5. Description will boost your word count and it's awesome. Rather than "The wind blew through the trees." try "Rustling leaves sounded all around [your character] as the wind raced in the evening light."
Ok, that's my basics. For general information, the roleplay school is suuuuper inactive.

I do tons of role plays and they are totally fun.
My advice would be to start slow
Don't try semi lit yet...
I could give you some names of the role plays I am in
I could suggest you some...
Just pm me and I'll tell you more.
Just go for what interests you and then you will become like us RP addicts!
