It's happening again. I have been visited by a soviet mad scientist, a king, a penguin prince of darkness, a house plant god thing, a mystical ancient member, a tired reaper (thank god) + a greeting.

As long as you put in a fair effort, I think you'll do fine. The majority of your post was well written, so I don't think you'll have a real problem.
Welcome :)
I consider it a balance between telling plenty about a scene while leaving many specifics of thought to mystery. Telling a lot, but not everything, leaving certain things to mystery and/or curiosity. When you do not reveal every aspect of a character's thinking, and merely leave core tidbits to implication, there's plenty of room to add nuances.

I'm sure others will come up with far more insightful inputs than this >.>

Not speedposting, if it means having a sentence or two.

I was thinking maybe a paragraph or two. Action > Reaction > thoughts / descriptions.


The issue here is the rare chance of this actually being viable to find. Not impossible, but I'd be a little surprised if you found this on a regular basis, in the right timezone, and with the right degree of quality for ya.

Something that I think is prevalent on this site is the fact that people simply don't have the time to sit down and crank out a paragraph of good material frequently during the day, as that's time that is typically spent on the job or whatnot. Otherwise, chat platforms (though good luck for finding the expected quality) may be a good direction to look into alongside hte guild.
Is it relatively active? The closest thing to roleplay I've done is probably DnD, so that's all I have to go off of.

Is it possible to find people who can just sit down and collaborate on their writing for hours, as opposed to sitting around for posts?


Roleplaying is inherently a pretty active activity, but it makes up in burst activity with the fact that people have easily dwindling interests. Expect to be dumped once, twice, one hundred times, often without warning, or if you're lucky with a polite 'I have no time/interest anymore, sorry'. I've lost count of the failed gigs. I don't even care about the count. It's the few successful gigs that do come together that keep me interested; kinda like how a true relationship works.

Burst posting, speed posting, etc sounds along the alley of what you're looking for, which certainly happens, though good luck finding someone who does that and produces something with fair quality. Chat roleplaying is probably the better method for you, which again has that stipulation that chat roleplaying is often of lesser quality/effort per post (though not always, depends on who you get). In any case, it's relatively unusual for how the site works, and so it is something you'd want to make an interest check for. From there you'll need patience. Even when you get someone, you'll still need patience.

And if you're dropped by someone, well, I find the best mechanism for that is to simply take whatever was created in what little was put together and stick it into my own lore. No loss when it's all blended into your content in the end.

Welcome :)

This can get you going on the site, and this can get you going on roleplaying. Feel free to shoot a PM for questions or further ideas.

The most basic idea of roleplaying is that it is a collaborative story, typically told in back and forth segments from the perspectives of the characters under your control and then from the perspectives of the characters under the other player's control.
