sure, i've got a good list of vocab (when was the last time you heard someone say outré, feckless, fatuous, or stoic in day to day conversation?), but i suck in terms of brainstorming ;-; always have.
sighh, i'm so jealous of some of you guys on here who come up with the best plots and characters!
although, you guys are the ones who've lured me into joining more roleplays than i should've xD
question ; would you rather be in three super interesting roleplays that don't move very fast, or one not-so-interesting roleplay that's very active?
*Cough* You sound like me. It always astounds me when someone does not know a word that I assume is everyday knowledge. It is not that I look down on the person so much as I feel strange for knowing the word, myself.
Coming up with plots takes practice, as does anything else. The more you read, and the more roleplays you take part in, the easier it will come. I also find that I do best making character-driven plots (though I do mostly 1x1s, so it works for those). What would motivate the characters? What in their past, present, or future has or could create contention and drama?
As far as your question, I would rather have a slower, interesting roleplay. If I am bored, I leave, no matter the activity level. In fact, slower roleplays often are more interesting because people take the time to write well and develop the plot.
