How to make a good prompt?

[Skyess]

Ok so I realized I have been posting a bit and I promise this is the last one for a while but here's my question. How do you make a roleplay/roleplay prompt good?

So mostly I'm wanting to know how to make a good and interesting prompt or the thing you use to hook people into participating in the roleplay. I don't like ones super long but just enough information has to be given so people know what it's all about. Then, once the roleplay starts how do you keep it going? If any of you understand what I mean and want to help out a beginner please comment haha, everything's appreciated 🖤

I want to get better and I know posting a lot seems like I'm either dumb or trolling but I'm genuinely curious and want to know what you guys think.

Bango compiled some good opinions and suggestions as far as how to attract people to your plots. As far as keeping it going, I think having good rapport with your partner goes a long way in that.

No need to worry about this! Anything that brings good faith discussion and activity is good I'd say.

I'm talking with staff about starting a monthly writing contest with a new prompt every month. I think the key to it depends on what you're aiming for. How much of the idea you have formed already and how much you're open to changes.

If it's a prompt that you have a lot written up already I think it's best to make clear that not everything is up in the air. If more is open it's good to make that clear and make the prompt relatively succinct. I favor a word to convey a theme or setting or subject matter and then a couple sentences to make it clear what your limits are.

Writing Prompt : Aspirations

Long term goals, things you wish to be. Might be nearly in your grasps or something you almost surely will never accomplish but damned if you're not going to try. Love, wealth, power, fame, freedom, recognition, mastery of a skill or trade.

I throw darts on a wall of sticky notes and perform whatever plans the dark deity watching over my life has for me.

If you look at that thing Yankee posted check out the Presentation for GMs and RPers - Interest Checks - Bango Says line.

I list a few really really good Interest Checks and OOC opening posts from RPG. Poohead, Stormflyx, JB, HaleyTheRandom (has a ridiculously good Character sheet template), and then myself because who doesn't love a bit of self promotion.
