Yeah yeah i know. The initial response to the title is "Well come now, there are pills for that!" That, however, is not what i'm getting at. My struggle is that i have come across what seems to be some incredibly talented and well spoken roleplayers on this website. Nothing makes me happier in fact. My problem comes in that I fall in between the two categories of roleplayers that we've established here. I'm not quite the casual as i can, with a well built world and enough interest, easily respond with three or so paragraph.
However, I am not even close to being on the level of those I have attempted to roleplay with in the past who are replying with literally 7-10 paragraphs for damn near every response. I respect and admire that, do not get me wrong. I have read through some of those responses and they are certainly all on topic and relevant. Yet, when i myself try to respond in kind, i have troubles keeping things relevant, on topic, and interesting for more than 3 paragraphs when it comes to more simple situations. The question i pose is this. Until I have worked my way up to that level, what would you folks recommend i do for roleplaying?
I scan through both interest checks and actually roleplays for both Casual and advanced, and do not find i fit with either well. Most Casuals either are not of my handful of themes,(which is certainly no ones fault. I do not expect everyone to cater to me by any stretch!) or simply cannot hold my interest. In the sake of discovering new things and not being a hermit, i do try to get out of my comfort zone of themes to roleplay. However most that i would look into, as i said just do not interest me for a number of reasons. They either may not be in depth enough, serious, well thought out, anything.
So with that i then take a stab at Advanced. And by golly do they usually have everything interesting to me. World are built so fantastically, lore is incredibly rich and in depth, characters feel alive. I can then create a character and assist in world building for these characters. The problem comes when i move to actual RP and i am then completely boned as I cannot for the life of my respond with a post that is longer than my 25 inch monitor is wide.
I simply ask if anyone else either is in my boat or has recommendations as to how i can work towards bringing myself to that level. As i always wish to improve and better myself as a writer. excuse my if this whole bit is jumbled, it's currently one in the morning and im tired as balls.
Thank you for any and all criticism and help. -The Real OG
