So I have never really paid attention to this in the past, but response frequency is something that should be detailed in pitches or responses to request threads.
Look, I get it. Many of us are busy. We all work differently. Some of us work at night, some of us work at home, some of us only have a set amount of time we can follow up with this hobby. And to some of us, this hobby is a primary way to escape, while for others, this may be an option, but not the go to source for escapism or entertainment.
I am not even getting into school, exams, children, pets, etc.
Time is our most valuable currency in this world, and dedicating it to writing is a choice, not a requirement.
That being said, is it rude to ask about expected response frequency? I am not trying to lock anyone down, or kill RPs if you said youโd post daily but you donโt. I think itโs just good to have at least a general outlook so you know what to expect.
For me, long gaps between posts can hurt the excitement, I can find my interest waning quickly and disconnecting from the characters established.
Iโve had partners who post every couple of days, partners who post multiple times a day, and partners that post maybe weekly, maybe bi-weekly, heck, Iโve had partners who basically post monthly, but it works.
Would you be offended if asked about your response times? Do you just rather reply when you reply and thatโs the end of it?
I think itโs a good thing to discuss.
