Did anyone ever see the Play Dough item from a while back that looked kind of like a dildo?
If not, NSFW (just kidding, it's really not)

Mind you, I don't know the specifics, but the FC in question was probably a generally attractive celebrity anyway... so that person was REALLY nitpicky.
I guess some people are just like that when it comes to their roleplaying, but like, you gotta have a little leeway, otherwise you'll never, ever find people who will rp with you.

There's someone for everyone, but it's unlikely you will agree 100% with every single tiny detail in every single thing you might write, so either it's not super important, so you compromise, or it is important, so you say, "Ah, I'll find someone else".
But there are people who get indignant when they can't dictate every single detail and get mad when the other person wants something to their preference.
Rudolph Quin said:When I first started rping 7 years ago, I didn't like men with long hair. Hated men with even shaggy hair, and the longer it got the more turned off I was. If we were going to start an rp and you sent me a photo of your face claim(i.e., the picture that is basically, "This is what my character looks like, this is how I'm imagining them and this is how you will visualize them when your character interacts with mine.") and they had long hair and I was not attracted to them, what is the protocol? What is the acceptable and "non rude" option for that? Because what I'm getting is, despite feeling no attraction to them and a lack of a desire to continue without attraction that at least I can feel towards your character, to make my own character's attraction believable, anything less than trying to play with that character would be considered me "trying to dictate how your character looks" and that's "not fair." It sounds very much like you're doing what you'd be accusing me of, then. :huh:
How about for the challenge rp? Would you not have a standard for that some people might find to be ridiculous and rude for being rejected by? I mean, it'll have very specific writing requirements or... you'll say "no, I don't want to rp with you", right? Are you allowed to set a standard for your personal preference or not? Or should you compromise and take me as a partner even though I'd go over the paragraph and sentence limit?

darkangel76 said:What I did want to bring up is how it can be hard to find people willing to write for more than one character for a story. And by this I am meaning main and side characters and even the little fillers you see once or twice or what have you. But basically, a lot of people don't really like to solidly RP more than a character at a time. Personally, I love epic stories of whatever genre that have lots of colorful characters. I find it fun to develop them and see where they go. Do they suffer? Do they die? Are they happy? Just what? But many don't like to attempt this or, if they do, they abandon it shortly thereafter. It's sad. At least for me since I love that kind of thing, lol! XD BUT....I suppose it just means I can make up more and my brain is always in overdrive with characters. So there's that. Hahaha!!!
darkangel76 said:Ooohhh....did I just read about another mentioning that they have a love of vore, gore, blood (not necessarily with vampires...though vamps are fun, but come on...it's not always about them damn vampires, lol!) and death???
<.<

I've said it before and I'll say it again! We're a rare breed. There's not many of us out there, but we do exist. I promise you. >///< And yes, some of us are even literate (since that's the word people are throwing around these days)!!! LOL! I'm huge on story--world building, character building, developing a fabulous plot whether it's an original story or within a fandom universe--and I happen to adore the kinks I mentioned above.
Hard vore (as opposed to soft vore) is more my cup of tea. There's something to be said about being devoured piece by piece as the blood drips down throats and muscle and flesh are torn from bone. It's like crossing a forbidden line, going down that dark path you were warned to avoid. The body is shredded, becoming undeniably close to the one ravaging it, bringing it pleasure. There's no way to discern pleasure from pain, ecstasy from horror. It's all a jumble as nerves become raw and senses warped. Nothing makes sense, only the moment until death takes its grip and only one is left standing.
Vore is wonderful that way! I first got into it thanks to a fantastic little anime titled 'Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne' (see my avatar and signature for snippet graphics). You can further the concept in a bit more realistic fashion if you delve into zombies or vampires. It makes for a great intense story and allows for vore to shine brilliantly.
Blood is just fantastic. And I agree that far too many people see it as something you only use for vampires. UNTRUE!!! Where's the blood play? A nice cut with a knife that pressed a bit too hard...or a purposeful nick with a blade to create a permanent scar as the wound is licked clean along with the blade's edge. And that's just the start! Of course, other supernatural elements can join in. Why not necromancy or a cult instead? Why does it always have to be vampires? >.<
As for death....well? This theme is glorious. For one, you can explore very dark themes with death. However, you can also use it as a plot device to bring in new characters and oust older ones. Whichever works for the story. But it is a wonderful thing to explore when it comes to twisted themes for Dominance/submission along with other concepts like death/regeneration or just plain having characters die for an emotional ride.
Ahh...so you don't think you get to play enough diversity within the role of dominant male? I assure you that there are several types of dominant male...just as there are several types of submissive female and so on with the combinations. I, personally, write heterosexual submissive females. And, I like to think I can write a pretty vast variety when it comes to them. I can write a vanilla girl with sub overtones to a very feisty submissive to the meek submissive and pretty much everything in between. What manifests greatly depends on the story being developed and thus what characters start to formulate as a result. Will she be a submissive? Sure.....but she'll be unique, have a goal and a history and all those glorious things that make her a wonderful three-dimensional character that is interesting because not all submissives are the same. hehehe...
Anyway, yeah. My ramblings for the moment. >/////////<
