getting a tag back from someone and having a handful of major details about the scenario wrong

fucking this i hate this fucking bullshit it takes literally two seconds to read through my tag and establish what our characters are doing where have you even been
the above thread just makes me mad and hate the fact that rpers haven't stopped this dominate/submissive top/bottom shit in smut and desperately cling to it
it's all i get when i want to play a sex scene with some fucking give and take

I really wish the mods at my game would just pull the trigger and close up shop instead of continue to let it die and drag on.
At this point the only people even bothering are part of the main clique and half of them aren't even doing anything. We have less than twenty people. There's no hope.

everyone here has different opinions on sj and we all know anyone can say any canon is the most bigoted piece of shit but what canons that are talked up to be so progressive really aren't that big a deal?
i'm so sick of this elemenatry pushback against sherlock, not because sherlock isn't shit, but elementary isn't that much better. it entertains me but i wish tumblr would shut the fuck up about how it's the most progressive thing on tv just because bbc sherlock fans are idiots.

Wankgate, am I crazy, or do some of the problems in RP (as far as writing quality goes) come from people not really "writing" and more trying to replicate the feel of the medium their character is from?
Given that most of us play from visual media of one kind or another, that means that most words are going to be dialogue, and actions, even thoughts, get neglected.
I know networks also have a lot to do with this, but I'm just musing. Maybe if people really tried to write, instead of being so fixated on a character's literal voice, we'd be better off.

While I sort of disagree with this, I also sometimes feel like people feel the need to have an action in every tag and it can make their characters seem pretty fidgety. Even in novels, characters can have long conversations with only occasional references to their actions. As for thoughts, I like including a character's inner thoughts in tags, but I'm also trying to cut back on doing this too much since I think it can lead to infomodding, which might even be unintentional on the part of the other player.
I guess I think the best approach is a middle-ground approach--not focusing only on dialogue, but not forcing thoughts or actions where they're unneeded either. Either extreme is bad writing.

forget shitty seme/uke dynamics, the worst thing is when you end up smutting with someone who goes heavier or lighter than you on the descriptors or little gross details
i'm good with talking about how sopping wet your chick is or how your dude has hairy balls or whatever you want to do, but don't whip out farts or shitdick on me without warning
goddamn

who even does that tho. I have literally never seen that happen/have had it happen to me in a thread before.
i am. so peeved by this instance with my rp partner. we're doing this one au, and it's kind of just cute and fluffy, and i have no issue with it, but then she tells me she's losing interest because it's cute and fluffy. "why can't they just kick butt and have action and stuff and not relationship drama?" okay, that's totally fair and i agree! i would love to do something with real action and violence and awesome shit that's not just relationship stuff.
so i suggest multiple different options that involve a lot of action, that involve the characters stopping bad guys, saving the world, etc.
she doesn't like any of these.
her suggestion instead?
a college au.
and all of it centers around the ships.
AND THAT'S FINE TOO I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT. mostly what i'm annoyed with is that her complaints about our rp being too fluffy and cute, but when i try to fix it, she refuses to even attempt plotting out something she specifically said she wanted, and instead suggests an alternative that's EXACTLY WHAT SHE COMPLAINED ABOUT.
it's frustrating. and inb4 no1curr, i just needed to get this off my chest because UGH. annoying.

she is just bored with your current rp scenario but doesn't know how to tell you that all she wants is a change of pace.
she wants to do a different rp instead. set in a college. with ships.

I feel good about my decision to only play smut with close friends.
we just had a picture prompt meme. jesus fuckin christ.
at least she's improving, this time she put up a legible meme.
Okay, be honest... do you get butthurt if you randomly tag someone new and they don't reply back? And if you do, why? Personally, it doesn't bother me but I do sometimes ignore tags if I don't like a fandom or a character, so I was just curious more than anything.
If it's in a game? Yes, that's shitty behavior. On a meme it depends, I personally don't have much time for them and will be put out if I've taken the time to write up a decent tag only for it to be never replied to.
Let's talk about you and how wonderful you are. You're beautiful and perfect and don't deserve to feel the rage or anger or frustration that brought you to this place. You're a human being and you have feelings that should be respected and I want you to know that I care about you.
anon youre very very cute and im sorry for all the other anons that are going to come and shit all over you for this
i care about you too come here lets have an internet hug

your character is standing there and looking pretty and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF INTEREST HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RESPOND TO THIS
Have your character keep right on doing whatever they're doing. That's what I do. I like to make it a challenge to see how long I can keep the 'MyChar reading/YourChar prettying' going before they crack or drop.
i like infomodding and i think it's necessary in rp.
i don't mean the "he's a villain, i can feel it!" type of shit that spoils someone else's gameplay, but i deliberately include things about my character's past or actions in my tags so that the other player can pick up on them if they want.
in most rp settings, especially with castmates, the characters are going to have more information about each other than the players do. castmates typically have tons of shared experiences that are only touched on or alluded to in canon. there's also a visual/interpersonal element ic that's lacking ooc because rp is text-only interaction. yeah, you could write "she fidgeted with the hem of her skirt" but unless there's plenty of canon evidence that this is what she does when she's upset, i think it's in an rp setting it's reasonable to write it like "she fingered the hem of her skirt the way she always did when she was upset" or "remembering her dead brother, she idly toyed with the hem of her skirt."
the character has access to all kinds of "real world" information that doesn't explicitly come across in a text-based medium unless you deliberately include it. i don't know why people hate this so much.

i was going to come here and flip my shit about the picture prompt meme, but i'm glad to see anons were already on it
it's so cathartic to see someone else has already wanked your wank for you

Someone I am threading with is ship-pushing, which I don't particularly mind, but it's very obvious they want my character to initiate everything.
So I'm just going to drag things out without doing anything and see how long this goes.

I hope you keep us informed about how this goes because this sounds like it has potential to be entertaining. Plus I've always wanted to know if this actually works.
it's been forever since i played on memes/with other people and w o w i forgot how introspective/limp fish i can get, i need to work on learning how to give other people better hooks
is your character a really introspective person, though? i love when people pay attention to detail like that and have a constant narrative in their head
idk what it is but something about rdj/jude law's sherlock/watson dynamic makes it my favorite of the recent adaptations (just the bit with their friendship, though i admit i have to catch up on elementary)
