What are your motives and goals for writing in this way?
I like to make stories. It's a creative outlet for me. It's fun. It's something to look forward to. And I really truly love to write with other people that "click" with me on that level. I have a hard time writing on my own. If left to my own volition, I stagnate in my own ideas. I never finish any of my solo projects. I also don't really get a lot (if any) feedback to my writing outside of the RP community. So it's always nice to see when someone appreciates the work I put in to my posts.
Are you here to make friends? Are you here to write an epic tale? Are you here for a specific fantasy?
Ehhh... none of the above, if I'm being perfectly honest. I guess a good story? I wouldn't go as far as to say it will be an epic tale. But some well-written, co-authored stories would be a realistic goal.
I'm definitely not here to make friends. I don't have the time or energy to keep up with that. I barely have time for friends irl. And while I have my range of kinks and fantastical settings, I'm never just looking for one specific thing. I assume most people switch up their mood and inspiration to undertake different stories. And I'm no different in that regard. Though I will say that I have a real big craving for spacey. sci-fi settings that I really don't see too many people share with me. It's my absolute favorite genre, but it usually goes unrequited.
Do you rp for kink? Do you rp for a story that you want to write beginning, middle, and end?
Yes? I mean, the two aren't exclusive from one another. I like story in my narrative, and I like it to have sexy parts as well. How focused it is on the sexy parts differs from story to story. But closure to even a short story is nice.
When you start an rp with someone what is the ideal, perfect situation for you? How does it go when it is going the best it possibly could be? What do you want?
Well, I have some kinks that are on a lot of people's blacklist. So, finding people who are not just tolerant of those, but actually WANT to include those themes is always something I'd consider ideal.
But aside from the obvious points of having similar interests in character dynamic, setting, and mutual/corresponding kinks with one another, I guess the ideal would be to be to write with someone that posts in similar format to my own. I strive to find detailed writers that enjoy multi-paragraph responses. I don't have the availability to post multiple times a day, or even once every day. So, someone with the same kind of availability is best. That way neither of us feel rushed or are left waiting for the other to post for too long.
While I'm a pretty patient gal, and life throws me some curve balls as to my own availability, if I'm left waiting too long for a response, I will quickly start to lose my enthusiasm for an idea. Even if the other person has explained to me that they might be away for a bit from writing. I mean, I don't get upset about it. I know they are busy or otherwise preoccupied. But my muse doesn't give a fuck. It changes if not entertained. And there is little I can do about it if I start to lose interest in an idea.
What are your goals when you rp? Do you achieve them?
I mean, they are probably the same as everyone else, yeah? Find a suitable partner, share some common kinks, write together, have fun. Find some kind of closure to the story?
Something that I seem to be perpetually hunting for is a good group roleplay. I really only do 1x1s as Adult roleplay. But group RP has always been where I want to be. And as I mentioned before: I love space-oriented sci-fi. Space Opera is the name of the genre. But I feel very segregated in that being my geek label. It's not very popular, so I don't really see any groups in that setting. An in the rare instance that they are, they aren't focused on the high adventure with aliens and starship battles that I crave.
As far as achieving my roleplay goals... Well, let's just say I spend a LOT more time discussing Roleplaying than actually Roleplaying. The ratio is dismal, actually.
