The Semi-Literate & Literate Roleplayer's Club (V4)

[mr.kingrichard]

dude, I have, like, an awesome group roleplay idea
a school for kids who were test subjects of this horrible laboratory that did all kinds of tests on children/teens, leaving them as animal/human hybrids (kind of like maximum ride) but also with mental/personality disorders as well. it'd satisfy my need for a roleplay with neuroatypical people and otherkin.

okay guys, if we do this RP, it's going to have to be on AS (sorry guys) since I'm afraid of what CS mods might do to it if we put it up here. i'll be accepting four people for this roleplay, so if you want to be in it, PM me with your AS username. thanks~

I've reached the end of the semester and I would like to start role playing again on a regular basis. I only have two finals left and I'm working on the few replies I owe right now, and I'm looking to expand my 1x1 list now that I actually have free time. I'm looking for semi lit, with more focus on the quality of the writing rather than the length. I'm tired of stressing over post length for something that I'm supposed to be doing for fun. I prefer to role play on AS or through email, but I will stay on CS if you cannot do either of these. If any of these ideas catch your interest shoot me a pm, and definitely don't be afraid to ask questions. I love to plan my role plays with my partner, so if you have any ideas I would love to hear them, I don't bite I promise. These are very crude write ups, so bear with me.

-Shifter role play: I have two characters I would like to use, but they can be used separately or together. One is a female white tail doe shifter in her early twenties, and the other is a male grizzly bear shifter in his mid twenties. I'll do mxf with my female, and mxm or mxf with my male. I don't really care what the plot/setting/time period is, as long as their animal forms are prominent. I'd be more than happy to brainstorm and come up with a topic.

-Forbidden romance: A prince is engaged to another royal, but is in love with his personal guard and vice versa, however both repress their feelings for years. The Prince's wedding date approaches, feelings are confessed, there's conflict between duty and heart, guard decides to leave, Prince tries to talk him out of it, they are discovered by the Prince's betrothed, guard is thrown in prison, Prince frees him, they go on the run and are hunted. This would be historical.

-Werewolf and hunter: A female werewolf (my character), the daughter of the alpha, and lead werewolf hunter fall in love, but the females identity is hidden from the hunter. He finds out who she really is in an attempt to kill her father. He spares his life for her but there is plenty of conflict and inner turmoil. Could be modern or historical.

- A mxm good boy bad boy thing. I would want to play the good boy, and he would be closeted for various reasons. Maybe your character could be a star athlete at school, could be high school ( pref. seniors, I find it hard to write for younger characters anymore) or college, known for his partying and bad rep with local law enforcement. Lots of drama, lots of conflict, and lots of character development. Would be placed in stereotypical small town for the added drama of everyone knows every one and all their dirty little secrets.

- Always up for a wolf role play, stray dogs, cats, etc, so if you have an idea that your dying to use throw it at me.

- Assassins, mxm or mxf. We would develop this together.

-And Star Trek. I'm always up for more Star Trek. Specifically, Spirk.

And pretty much anything else you could think of. So if you've got ideas, send me a pm. I'm open to pretty much anything.

The literate role players thread? It has higher standards for acceptance.

You can also be accepted into both

I don't particularly understand why people view being literate as having long posts.
I've stopped asking for a minimum length in my roleplays because I view that people shouldn't be ordered to have to write essays every single time they want to post something.

Sure, it allows you to fit in more content and action into a post and maybe move the roleplay along more quickly, but how much of that post do you think is fluff?
Either way, it kind of ticks me off the way some people put length as a higher priority than quality.

as it does a lot of people, actually

This has been brought up countless times. I think that most people here can tell you that I'm one of the biggest proponents for quality over quantity. But you can still write novel posts stuffed with quality. Just because it's multiple paragraphs doesn't automatically mean most of it is fluff.
Though length policing always breeds purple prose.

This is the only site I've role played on that has ever had coding standards. I never even bother trying to join the ones that are accepted purely on the basis of the skeleton.
