What role do you like to play in fellowship/party RPs?

honestly i usually end up playing whatever the story needs. i do like thief characters. maybe like a healer or support char that has a bunch of tricks or some kind of long range fighter. my chars, despite not being front end fighters, are typically daredevils used to push the plot further along when no other character will anyways.

The ERP Discussion

Hmmm it's okay. I've never tried it bc most of the people I saw advertising it didnt make it seem interesting or fun at all. Just gross. And honestly if i went through their posts they had like a free kind of writing style as someone else said. Not really anything fun to read from my pov.

Im guessing it can be done well and i'd want to give it a shot. But i think i'd also be bored. I think i'd also want to focus on giving the erp a meaning. Not just smut but maybe like throw some symbolism or even character development lmao or just something in there if that makes sense.

How do you know it is time to come back from a hiatus?

When you feel like writing and have a concrete idea of a conceptyou want to execute

Name change?

I'm thinking of changing it up.

nuance in your writing

@Rockatiel I am not sure what you mean by a nuanced character? Can you clarify a bit?

@Odin

character nuance, to my understanding, is like the difference between, say, a walking stereotype and a character that is more real. the subtle actions or things about your character which make them different, either from similar characters that are like them or the archetype they are derived from.

nuance is a lot easier to see in movies than writing, imo, because in movies you can see people's tone of voice, the prosody of their words, their hand gestures, stuff like that. so even characters built on a similar archetype will seem completely different. in writing, it can be a little wordy describing all these little traits every paragraph, so then you have to go to the main part of a character-- the conflict, their personality. but then how do you go about explaining these subtle differences without making your character too confusing, or worse, not make sense? or, what are your favorite things/concepts to use for making a character nuanced?

I'd say it's about the same definition for plot too.

hope that made sense lol

nuance in your writing

we all know that nuance is like, being subtle and stuff. how do you incorporate it in your writing? Your characters? your development and plots?

to me, I think contradictions are a great way to establish nuance in a character. for example, do many people want fit and model-like bodies? Yeah-- but do those same people workout everyday and eat healthy? Nah.

So like that's one example of nuance to me-- contradictions in characters. what are some of your favorite ways to implement nuance with your writing?
