what do you hate most about coding?
definitely when you mess up on one thing and you can't figure out WHAT it is, so you have to do it over.

what is your coding process?
- rise from the depths of coding block hell
- pick a song to listen to on repeat for 3 hours to help keep my muse up.
- scroll through my tagged 'cs' on tumblr.
- watch movie and completely forget i had to code
- realize it's been at least three days and everyone has finished their forms.
- stalk look for inspiration on people's storages.
- copy and paste main traits of astrology signs, cause wow i have no creativity.
- eat cereal, no matter what time it is.
- eat second bowl of cereal cause wow that was really good.
- place lyrics on empty spots.
- give up on trying to make it look nice
- presses submit

what is your coding process?

• be lazy
• not do anything
• be a whiny crybaby about coding
• finally decide to do something
• spend at least 3 hours on fc
• randomly slap on lyrics and borders a text boxes
• stare for a few minutes
• delete everything
• kill all of my coding in storage
• attempt everything again

what is your coding process?

• Stare at other people's forms
• Cry and pity self for having horrible coding skills
• Give up looking for a fc even before trying since I know it'll take forever and I don't know many celebrities
• Manage to find something decent and then cry due to not knowing who said person is
• Proceed to Google about said person and get the name
• Find or make up some quote that fits said oc's background and/or personality
• Proceed to erase said form due to it looking so small and simple next to other forms
• Cry for a while
• Forget about said RP
• Come back to it after a few days and see they aren't accepting any more forms

I finished the first chapter of an idea that I had for a while now, but I am not quite sure yet if this idea will be finished with this chapter and left to rot or actually be continued, so I'd enjoy some input on it and if you think that it has potential.

What is your coding process?


• It all starts out with me imagining a layout, that most likely caused by a roleplay that I've joined or a 1x1 that I've asked for or been asked to participate in.
• Now comes the time where I search for a face claim and get lost in all the pictures and hardly ever come out with a suiting far claim for the female side, although not as much trouble occurs with the male side.
• I usually go with gifs, so at this point I'd be cropping, resizing and editing the gif, if I've chosen an Image I'll usually just resize and crop it to my liking.
• Once I've done that I'll play around with borders around the image, add some extra gifs here and there cropped into borders, search for a suiting quote if I do not have something in mind from songs.
• Font search, see what looks good, avoid colour, try to add some, refrain from it.
• Usually at this step chances are that one of my eyes are irritated, or my contact went up to the top of my eye behind my eyelid which is a whole story, or I've gotten distracted by videos or am replying to texts instead of focusing.
• Now I usually add all the finishing touches and then post it, after whine to myself about how things keep turning out like signatures.
  
  What do you hate most about coding?
  
  Finding female face claims.
  
  
• Here's a question for all of you who host roleplays or initiate 1x1's:

  [b]How do you come up with an idea for a roleplay? Is it usually inspired by existing plots or do other factors spark ideas?[/b]

what is your coding process?

- start coding random borders
- start adding stuff to the inside of the borders
- make the entire bottom half of the border shift
- fix it and add more information
- border shifts the other way
- finally fix after half an hour of figuring out what went wrong
- move on to aesthetics
- aesthetics don't want to go where I want them
- have to add so many invisible dashes
- everything is perfectly aligned
- post
- everything shifts
- invisible dashes added/removed

invisible dashes are my life.

what do you hate most about coding?

coding something to perfection in preview, forgetting that everything shifts when you post. also when you make a mistake and the entire post you coded goes into a jumbled mess.

How do you come up with an idea for a roleplay? Is it usually inspired by existing plots or do other factors spark ideas?

when coming up with plots I just stick to ones I personally enjoy (zombie, apocalypse, survival, etc.) and either make it immersive or add a small twist to it. typically it's nothing complicated, but adds more depth to the role play.

How do you come up with an idea for a roleplay? Is it usually inspired by existing plots or do other factors spark ideas?

Imma be real if I make an rp it's usually for a character I have no place for.
My ideas come from things I see. Like, I might be watching tv and think "that sounds like a situation where [blank] could happen" and then it goes from there. Another time it might be a post on tumblr about something completely irrelevant and then I start developing ideas and bam, plot.

can a few people pm me who code frequently?
need some critiques on something but don't want to advertise. lol

any help would be great! thanks!

hello fellow aliens!
I've gotten a stumped on an idea of mine. okay, I've been getting rid of all my storybooks and donating it to my local library. but suddenly I found an old fairy guide book. I looked into the book and suddenly got an idea on making a roleplay about fairies. but

here's the trippy part, fairies are ranked by their wings! the lowest rank is a fly, highest being a butterfly or dragonfly. (still thinking about that.) the wings are decided the day your born, (some weird tradition like that one scene with tinker bell chose the tinkering job.) I honestly have no clue on what I should go from there... I was planning on making it a BIG harem shoujo like with main character being a fly winged girl. but decided against.

I have no idea what the plot should be about. any ideas?

pls help
