I thought this might make for an interesting discussion.
Our request threads are our way of advertising for new partners, so what makes a good one from a bad one?
Some of the things I like to see in one is an idea of how the person likes to write, what they like to see in a RP, their style.
Also their ideas, sometimes if it is just a basic idea with a series of cliche partnering options then I am left thinking "..And?" I like to see that at least some of their ideas have some thought behind them, some idea of where they would like the plot to lead.
What turns me off in a Request thread?
I read one that gets bumped often that starts off with the writer reading me the riot act, they list a series of things that they do not like or want and that they are quite strict about, ok we all get annoyed when partners leave us hanging, I have come to accept that, that happens now, no need to carry on about it in my request thread.
One liner type requests, or requests where they seem to have every aspect mapped out from start to finish.
So what about every one else, what makes you want to answer someone's request thread?
