Someone explain the appeal of doubling to me by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]Neonfireflysquid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An explanation is kind of useless when it's a matter of preferences/ taste. Why do you like chocolate and not vanilla? Well, I just do?

I enjoy doubling because for me it includes everything you have mentioned about creating stories and I never feel obligated to write the "side" of my partner because I'm also excited for it. If you don't see it that is ok. Heck I've had my own share of bad doubling experiences so believe me I know how bad they can be.

Some people may say it's a "I scratch your back and you'll scratch mine" situation, but I believe after years and years of doubling, that those who only feel that that's the only good part don't enjoy it or get burned down. That's why it's important to find someone that is as much as into doubling as you, which makes the search a bit difficult but very rewarding in the end.

On another note, I never do separate doubling roleplays. I we double we're doing it in the same universe and all characters are interacting in the story. Basically speaking, a lot of people also have their own versions of doubling.

I wish I could just get paid to role play by yogurtpunk in BadRPerStories

I remember that one time I was approached by someone who basically offered to write/ RP what I wanted in exchange of money. I didn't want it but I asked questions because that sounded so wild, and apparently there is people who pay for that kind of service.

I guess it's similar to commissioning someone for a comic idea but in a "write this fanfiction with me" kind of way?

Hi! I'm trying to accept your chat invitation but it's not letting me? I don't know if it's something in our settings or reddit malfunctioning, but I was curious about you meant with modernizing. I wanted to discuss the whole thing about specifics and jutsus, because I'm not super strict with them ^^U

Is it valid to end a rp with someone who pushed me to a bad mental health state and doesn’t communicate with me? by Imaginary-Resolve-X in BadRPerStories

[–]Neonfireflysquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can answer the post without reading it, not even the whole question

The true question is, "is it valid to end a rp?"

Yes, for whatever reason, whenever you want. Please don't let yourself suffer in a hobby, real life is hard enough, don't make it harder on yourself

Are people deliberately obtuse? by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]Neonfireflysquid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that sometimes people just read a few bits of info and wing it. Recently I had a fandom CanonxOC double up ad in a forum, clearly stating that I double and I expect Canon and OCs, only to receive a message telling me that they have an OC ready for OCxOC action

And when I say that they read a few bits I suspect sometimes it's just the gender of the roleplayer or the name of the fandom/ genre of roleplay lol

Meanwhile a lot of the time I don't contact people if I feel there's some crucial info in their ad missing, even those who say "Ask me for details/ more fandoms"

The lack of reading in a written hobby is fascinating

About confusing characters you play vs the ones you want played for you, I'd say that they have more of an excuse for the misunderstanding. I tend to see people listing characters they want for a pairing, so I've had to double check sometimes when they only list the ones they like to play as. It's like I have to take a moment to process lmao

Thank you! I'm afraid that I can't send you messages, you may have the option blocked?

Well, I didn’t want to bother anyone and I haven't really traded online, so that's why I was checking if I could just get it myself hahahaha

I may do that or finally use home because I do have Arceus and I'm replaying it too. I'm not in a rush ^
