Howdy there folks!
I'm going to contribute to the discussion to talk about something that is quite literally the anti-forum subject, in-character approaches. An example of an in-character approach can be found here, but other than that, I feel like the stigma of the approach is undeserved. Here's why you should consider In-Character approaches,
Quick Engagements: very quickly, you can engage with a large number of people in an effort to find somebody that clicks well with you. Usually, this means that you need to have a profile for the character, similar to F-list, as well as a means of communicating that you're online and active. However, this doesn't mean that a forum makes an in-character approach impossible. You can set up an RP and set up a contact for others to approach, the most important thing is to be fluent in the case that a player might contribute something you did not expect. An in-character approach is like fishing, you're tossing a line out, and hoping that the fish will take the bait.
Unexpected Encounters: You will encounter something new that you did not expect, nor ask for. This unsolicited means of RP means that you will be exposed to things that you never knew that you liked, and things that you never knew that you disliked. The most important thing is to get off of the high horse, and don't punish people for exposing you to something that you dislike. Like in the real world, a character will approach you that you might not like, try not to cancel them, or try not to cancel what they find fascinating enough to write!
Never Experience Recycled Ideas: It's very common to receive recycled ideas from failed campaigns to failed RP's or perhaps just an RP that you happened to have enjoyed, or perhaps your partner wants to revisit one of their favorite RP's: an in-character response might not have that same grand feeling to it as a pre-developed idea, but you're surely not going to experience the same old same old again and again.; unless if the RP devolves into just writing sex positions back and forward.
Taste New Personalities: Sometimes folks play the same character with different a different body and a different name, but I can't help feel like like many others when I say, they're essentially the same characters. If you approached a person in-character, you could get to experience the same things I do, hopefully! New personalities, new obsessions, new lifestyles, almost as if you're roleplaying on Omegle!
Now remember, QUNT to win! But not before realizing all the negatives that can come with the poison!
IC Responses have the cons of,
- Breaking character takes away from the RP
- Not being able to communicate means that a grand plan will be near impossible to develop
- People that you do not find attractive will contact you
- You will be exposed to triggers and kinks that you dislike
- And so much more!
What're some of your favorite experiences with an IC approach? Mine is being approached with an ass grab. The RP turned into a carnival pier by the ocean, being butt fucked by a furry over a railing. If I could get my main account unbanned on F-list, I'd totally revisit the RP partner responsible for one of my favorite RP's! ^&^
