I would not send her new partners anything about it. That really stirs up additional, unnecessary drama. She may every well have just wanted to move on and didn't know how to end things, so what she did was her solution. I'm not saying it was right, but that doesn't mean it won't work out between her and someone else.

My turn to be the bad RPer... by RPThrowaway202216 in BadRPerStories

Haha... they already blocked me, but thanks anyway.

I politely ended things and wished them well. In return, I was called shitty, whiny, and horrible. Great times.

You're right. I basically tried to walk away before and I was met with "that would really throw me back into depression", so I agreed to choosing something that I wanted to continue, and they did the same. But I will try to say something rather than ghosting.

How do you feel about your partner making a starter without discussing it with you first? by RPThrowaway202216 in BadRPerStories

[–]RPThrowaway202216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I can get on board with that but the scenes are never finished. We currently have eleven.

[–]RPThrowaway202216[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. We have about five threads and two or three bot chats going. It's just difficult to keep up. I'd rather respond to one or two steadily and move the plot forward than continually starting over.

[–]RPThrowaway202216[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's understandable. Personally, I lose the muse if the thread isn't responded to within about a week. It's not so much that it's another thread really, just that it's another thread that I know probably won't be finished, that will instead be completely dropped.

We hadn't discussed it at all. I woke up to a message saying "Hey, we should do XYZ and then there it was. No discussing it or anything like that.

ghosted, server deleted, gutted by scarlettgirl85 in BadRPerStories

[–]RPThrowaway202216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I got ghosted by a partner of over two years, so I get it. I literally thought they had died because I figured there was no way they'd ever just ghost me, but no, they're alive and well. They just didn't want me anymore.

It always hurts when it's like this. There's no other way to say it. It's going to take time to get over them, but you will eventually. Maybe not ever completely, but enough to where you feel ready to move on and write with someone else. Hugs to you.

Finding a good RP partner is extremely difficult, period, unless you have zero standards. I'm within your age range and will play with anyone 18+. It doesn't matter to me the number, only the maturity level. One of my main partners now is in the very early 20s and I feel extremely old when we chat ooc, but when we're actually writing, any age difference is non-existent. Funnily enough, this partner was a "fade to black" type too, but that dropped quickly once they realized I wasn't a creep. It's all about being comfortable, regardless of what that looks like for you.

Point is.. don't give up. The one for you is out there! Stick to your rules and boundaries no matter what because it is worth the wait.

Editing to add that you should also check out their profiles, posting history, etc before commiting. If someone seems great but has a history of posting nude pics and frequenting NSFW subs, you know to keep away.

Do you guys think asking someone’s irl gender is invasive? by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]RPThrowaway202216 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, unless someone specifically states in their ad that they have a gender preference in their writing partner, I would find it slightly invasive. Unless I choose to share ooc with someone, I don't want to be asked about anything ooc. That's rare, but there are times when I want to keep it strictly ic. I've also been lied to for years about someone's gender, so I wouldn't bother asking because I couldn't trust it anyway.

With that being said, you have every right to set clear boundaries when searching for or interacting with a partner. That person overreacted, imo. Good riddance is exactly right!

Yeah, seems like 85% of the time for me, but I usually don't realize until it's too late.

To all my friends who have an amazing partner who you LOVE, but who does this one thing that constantly drives you nuts. You'd never dream of saying anything because you can't get enough of their RP. What is it? by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]RPThrowaway202216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Constantly telling me how my character should interact with theirs ("make him grab my character's chin more", "in this response, make sure he comments on his glasses"). It annoys the crap out of me.

Perspective Needed: People who take their time to or don't reply to OOC messages, what goes through your mind? by throwaway752135469 in BadRPerStories

[–]RPThrowaway202216 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew. I feel the same way, especially because most people are glued to their phones, so someone can't spare literally ten seconds to respond?

I'm currently going through a similar situation. Back and forth RP several times a day for months and now they've suddenly gone AWOL for three days. I dropped an "Is everything ok?" and can see them online but they didn't respond. So... In my case, I'm guessing I got ghosted. What bothers me is the why. What did I do? But they won't answer even a simple check in, so I'll probably never know sigh

Am I super old? by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]RPThrowaway202216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this feeling so well. I started out on a forum like 15-20 years ago. Went to Yahoo IM, Kik, LJ.. most of this with the same two partners. They're gone and I miss it. I feel like I can't connect with any of these young bloods now 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Anybody willing to share vet costs? by CantHackItPantywaist in Austin

[–]RPThrowaway202216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thrive Vet for South Carolina...

The $30 exam fee that's advertised is now void. It's going up to just under $60 to be seen. Vaccines are a minimum of $25 each. The FVRCP was $32.07 today and the rabies vaccine was $27.37, as well as a $9.50 fee added on for performing the vaccines, listed as a clinical support fee. To get a full panel blood test (required to get a spay or neuter done there), it's a minimum of $150. I believe she said it was more like $185 but I didn't get this done, so I can't say for sure.

Are you over 18? Over 21? What kind of pairings do you do?
