So, as a writer, I've always been intimidated by the concept of roleplays, but my past few months on this site have gotten me used to roleplaying on other people's rps. but now i'm ready to tackle a new challenge. I'm ready to try making my own rp. I know that I Should be asking for advice specific to me, but i'm also kind of looking for advice for any story, in case someone who has the same problem stumbles onto this topic. So. Any advice when making a new RP? I'm willing to give specifics on my idea if you need, but I'd prefer to keep it general, to help anyone's sort of story.

As for advice. Hm. Well you're on the first step even by seeking to improve yourself. That said, I find emulation helps. Find a book or another roleplayer's content that vibes with you and, don't 100% copy it obviously, but try to integrate elements of what you find enjoyable into your own plots and format.

Over time you'll become more confident.

Also try different genres and get a feel for what's more intuitive to you to even write as a way to filter down doing the above. For me, I like getting into arguments. So here, "Arena" content is a natural fit, since I really don't give a shit if things get terse OOC and that's usually gonna happen in those. Some people are more inclined for romantic genres meanwhile, or historical roleplay, etc.

Once you have a lock on that, seek out others who've done the thing you're wanting to do in broad strokes. Best mirror is in another.

Absolutely, that's exciting! Starting your own RP can be a rewarding experience. First, think about the setting and theme you want to explore. This is your chance to craft a world, so delve into the details—what are the rules, the culture, the conflict? Having a clear foundation can guide the narrative and help participants immerse themselves in the story.
Next, consider character dynamics. You want to create a space where players can develop complex relationships and arcs. Encourage diversity in character creation, allowing various personalities and backgrounds to bring richness to the RP.
Also, establish some guidelines upfront. Clear expectations can prevent misunderstandings and keep things smooth and fun for everyone involved. And lastly, don't forget the importance of flexibility. While having a general direction is great, the best RPs often evolve differently than planned, shaped by the creativity and interaction of the players. Embrace that unpredictability—it’s part of what makes roleplaying so thrilling.
