This community doesn't seem very active when it comes to person to person engagement. It's more of just post an ad and leave, which kind of makes me sad. I think that, when you have a community like this, we should be friendly with one another. More friendly than we are now, anyway. I know, it's silly of me to think that way! But I do! So, consider this my hello to you, my question of how you are? What are some things you'd like to see more of on this site?
Also, this is your reminder that March 8th is Daylight Savings Time, so remember to set your clocks accordingly!
Anyway! Let's start a discussion! I look forward to engaging with you all more!
I'm not really sure what more I'd like to see. I'm just here to gather partners.
Edit - I'm feeling a lot better today =)
Hello, hype! It's wonderful to speak to you! I am so happy to hear you're feeling better today. Some days are harder than others, so I hope your future days bring you peace and clarity.
I understand the simple want of just gathering partners, it is the main focus of this site! I can't blame you for that!
Thank you. It's nice to speak to you as well. I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday because I find that I have a trigger that unfortunately is something my partner's like, so I've been in a state where I have to sort of suck it up and deal with it.

Whoa! That's a very serious thing that your partner should know about! If it is harming you in such a way, you should tell your partner and they should respect it! That sort of thing shouldn't be "sucked up and dealt with". It's a pretty serious thing! If you've told your partner this trigger is damaging you emotionally and mentally, and they don't respect that; DROP THEM! That behavior is NOT okay.
You deserve to feel safe and happy when writing, angel!
Thank you very much for caring about me, but this is not one partner it's more like a lot of Partners and the problem is not them so much as it is me.
The main problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to word it. I feel that since I brought it up I should probably go into an explanation but it's really weird for me to word.

If you don't feel comfortable with something then you are well within your rights to voice it, even if someone doesn't agree with you. You have to tell people the issue in order for them to respect it, they won't know otherwise. And if they continue, you're within your rights to discontinue communication!
Sometimes it's hard to explain what bothers us, it doesn't make how you feel any less valid! <3

I know I’m butting in but if they’re writing something (or wanting to write something) you’re uncomfortable with you should tell them. The worst they’ll do is stop the roleplay. I find that if the roleplay is going very well and the partner is really liking it they’ll Do whatever to keep it going. At least that’s how I am.
I LOVE writing sex scenes and 99% of the time have to have them in my roleplays at some point but if I’m dying for a certain roleplay or I just love the roleplay I’m doing and how my partner writes I’m usually willing to make the exception for them.
Though I did have one bad experience once where I told the person over and over I don’t do You x Me roleplays and we went through all the info swapping And starting the roleplay and me remind her again that I wasn’t okay with it only to be called, in her words, “a fucking cunt”.
Most people will understand and will be an adult about it. If they really want to write sex scenes and you’re not cool with it most will accept it and move on or work with you to see how far you’re okay with going before “fading to black”. And if the person is a massive bitch about it then they don’t deserve you as a roleplay partner. God knows you deserve better than them.
I’ve never really had big issues with partners (other than the one I wrote about above) but the ones that I have had some trouble with in the past were minors who wanted me to write sex scenes with them which is a big no no on my part. And typically when I turned down writing adult themes with minors they flip out like the immature kids they were and demanded I do it anyways. That’s why I only roleplay with 18+ now. No way am I going to put my free life on the line for some stupid fictional story just because they wanna write porn. I mean, I used to write sex scenes in roleplays when I was a minor but most of my partners were also under age too. Still, there is a big difference there.

At what point does putting your character through trials lose its justification and just become a cheap gimmick to torture them?
See, I don't like needlessly torturing my characters. Yet whenever I bring this up people will say stuff to me like; "Well if they don't ever struggle, and win all the time that's just really boring!"
So they get this idea about me that I want my characters to just breeze through everything.
I do want my characters to go through some hardships but at a certain point with some writers I've met it kind of feels like they're just using "it builds character" as a really weak excuse to justify getting off on abusing their character.
There is for example a cartoon that used to be on...in this cartoon, the main character was a young female who was basically the chosen one.
Well throughout the series she basically loses every major fight she ever gets into. Including a point where she gets tortured and injected with mercury poisoning. then after that when she's literally in her super form she gets her butt kicked yet again by someone that should have been a lot weaker than she is because she was in her super.
At what point do you stop justifying torturing your characters as being good for them?
And when I say you I don't mean you specifically I mean it more as a collective term for people to do that.
I gave it a while myself to think over, and I'm pleased to report, I think I've managed to answer my own question.
So now how is everyone/anyone else?
Hello hype and everyone else on this thread. Silly question... am I the only one who feels that asking for a roleplaying and getting feedback is like trying to get a needle in a haystack?
