Why I don't RP on this website.
So, i have several reasons why I don't wish to RP here, or in most places, some deal with mentality. but allow me to explain.
1. My lack of RP skills
I am very bad at writing, I am just dreadful. And in order to get better, you have to practice, RPing, is good, but see where I am at? I am already stuck. I am woefully inexperienced in any kind of writing. Considering the other reasons I will bring up later, I won't be able to join one in the first place.
My only practice is writing stories for myself, Nothing else.
2. The lack of availability
This community is very American, very, very American. Especially the RP community. this means shooting myself in the foot when it comes to communication. Since I am slightly busy, it means that all catch up is very, very difficult. RPs generally shoot off rather superbly quickly. And completely without me. This has happened in literally every single RP I have ever joined on this site. So it is neigh on impossible to keep up.
The worst thing is, RPs tend to have a gigantic amount of participants, creating an even worse clusterfuck to deal with. Just nope.
3. No interesting RPs.
This is important, a lot of RPs I see, I am not even interested in story wise. It's difficult to join something you just don't care about or seems stupid and stale.
Now, you might say, why not make your own? I have three major ideas I've had so far. All of the feedback I have received on them was basically, "this is stupid?" or "this is meh, I wouldn't join it." and even "You should just make slice of life."
This includes Fiasco, a Fantasy inspired action RP and the Fringe RP. This has been a lot of work, and literally, no interest whatsoever. This is toxic to wanting to do this.
This is essentially how my experiences and how people have been, this has me annoyed greatly. But it makes sense. I have been effectively been discouraged from making or joining RPs.
I hope this was worth reading. Even as a cautionary tale.
