Hey, I just joined and have never been on a solely-RP'ing site before. Because of that, I wasn't sure where this post would go. But here's my idea: (feel free to comment on it if it's not what this site's for)
I have been writing a story for a while now, but I don't know what to do with it. It's about a high school with a supernaturally evil Headmaster, horrible teachers (and some nice), a specially chosen librarian, and an extremely gifted student. I thought maybe doing an RP would give me some ideas. I'd prefer to RP it 1x1, but I'd be willing to do it as a group RP. If it's done as a group RP, I'll need students, teachers, a Headmaster, and a librarian. (Naturally, I'll be taking the lead role here :P.) I'd also like to do it as a Casual RP. If there's any interest, I'll move to the Casual boards and explain more fully there. If anyone wants to know more or is interested in a 1x1, pm me :)

While this certainly fits in the GIC area, it sounds like you've already got a set plot in place. Group RP's can of course be guided, but I think you'll find that people will often try to do their own thing. You may see the plot attempt to change in ways you perhaps did not expect, even if it still moves towards what you had originally planned. Essentially, you can give the setting and some major characters, but there is little guarantee exactly how the story progresses.

Seems rather interesting. Haven't done one of these in a while now - and I can handle more than one role, if needed.

tip-never have one lead character, actually, never have a lead role at all. all players should be at an even field. The headmaster should not be a playable character given the supernaturally evil bit, either it should be your character, or just an NPC.
if any player would be given special treatment without good reason, it could be seen as a huge blemish, and if that specially treated character was yours (aka a lead role, not the evil guy, as that's generally fine)then you might seem self centered, putting your guy above the rest, making everyone else's character have no reason to be there.
so yea, it might be best to keep this as a 1x1, a group RP would most likely need to change far from your original plan to be good enough.
why did I say any of that....

I don't really care if it gets away from my original plan. I'm mainly wanting to just let it play out. But I see what you're saying on the character bit. I guess I do prefer a 1x1 for this. :) Thanks
