Request thread tuneup/critiques.

[Revelations]

Henlo fine people of BMR.

So I tend to have okay success rates on my RTs, for a few reasons - but I also feel they simply put, aren't very great. They're too long, some of the titles of my RTs are generic, and in general I know I lack a panache that other request threads certainly possess.

So I'm kinda putting a thread up here to see what I could be doing better, because I feel I could be doing better. I don't intend for one person alone to look at all my RTs, but they all follow a similar 'vibe' in the sense that they kind of flow the same way.

First off, is my generic males request thread.
Second up is a NSFW monster girl and fandom request thread
Finally is my NSFW nonbinary request thread.

Some things I feel I can do already to improve the threads

• Punch up the request thread names
• Probably sanitize/remove the NSFW elements of my NSFW threads - though I feel this is one I am less likely to do.
• Make some of my RTs more concise, ideas wise.
• Flesh out certain plots while keeping them open to partner interpretation and expansion

The rub is in finding out the best ways to do some of the above, as well as see the angle other people might view my threads from and let me see what I'm not.

So TLDR, you wanna tell an admin his threads suck butt? Now's the chance! But for real I'd appreciate any and all feedback about my threads in general.

Hey Admin! Your RTs suck butt! (Well...you gave us clearance to say that, so... )

To be up-front: I only looked in-depth at the generic MxF RT; I did quickly look over the other two to know that they are largely the same by structure & layout. Also, I'm approaching this from the perspective of a person who likes things simple and clean and succinct - just give me the info, no need to dress it up.

The About Me section - short, sweet, list-form, to the point. For me, it works.

No About You section - while I realise that you may have chosen to omit such a section to not risk excluding anyone, by its very absence you are encouraging anyone to respond, which then risks you receiving people who may not (or do not) fit what you're actually wanting in a writing partner. To me, there's nothing wrong with outlining just a little of what you seek in and from a partner.

The Plots - for mine, way too many of them, such that it could be overwhelming to some (and I found the occasional inconsistent spacing between plots to be a little distracting - mostly you have a single line spacing between plots, but there is the occasional two-line spacing between plots, and the larger gap draws they eye away). Sure, you may have lots and lots of ideas, but can you really entertain all of them at once? I'd be inclined to suggest that you pick your top half-dozen or ten to keep active, and maybe slip the remainder into an "Old but open to consideration" Spoiler area.

In the Monster Girl RT...possibly over-the-top with the number of linked images. Sure, you've found lots of things that serve to highlight what you mean, but all those hyperlinks... Just my impression, though. I do understand other will appreciate them.

I do also appreciate the separation of genres with your plots, and the inclusion of writing samples is handy.
