PSA: POST LENGTH.
when I say that you don’t have to match my length in a post, I mean like… If I write 4 paragraphs, I’m not expecting you to write 4 paragraphs? y’know. i’m cool if you write 1 or 2 or 8.
but… when i write 4 paragraphs & get a one/two line reply? that’s… stretching it a bit, don’t you think?
I really wish I could be one of those people who’s like fine, with everything?? but I guess I’m just not. & i was feeling bad about it for a long time but my logic got to me. & let me kinda’ explain.
in a post, generally, I have my character do three things:
SAY SOMETHING. or multiple things. or… shout, sob, etc.
DO ACTIONS. to progress the plot.
THINK & FEEL. to help me & you understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.generally, a good way to roleplay with someone and to progress the plot, and deepen the connection to the characters, is to respond to what your partner does in a post. so don’t pick, at random, one line of dialogue and respond to that and nothing else? don’t ignore everything they’ve just said, and respond only to the action.
as well as RESPONDING you then add something of your own, to progress the plot. so you could… ask a question, prep an attack, try to coax them into doing something, explain something… y’know. give them in turn something to RESPOND too.
weather you have your character inner monologue or not is up to you. it helps to connect but it’s not always needed. but it helps others understand them.
so, while all this can be done in a little paragraph, it can’t be done in one or two lines.
it’s about RESPECT for your partner, too. like, the effort they have put in. i don’t care what people say. it’s rude af to expect one party to carry a thread.
so my I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH YOU REPLY WITH has a limit, dudes. it’s not anything personal. it’s just I need to be able to continue the thread.
