tfw anxiety and constant self-doubt keep me from trying to join in rps
also the fact i am not a novelist writer type i'm literate when i want to be [casual japery doesn't require much punctuation or capitalization to get the message across, which is the ultimate goal of communication by any means, and hey, snakes take the path of least resistance so why shouldn't i when it comes to writing eheh,,]
but advanced is. a bit much, i type short and sweet with no formatting so i know im in the minority of rpers that want to be in long active, lore filled clans so ehheeh,,, i know i'll never get into an rp bc i don't have the skills for it but im in an instictive sort of denial so its even worse

A clan I'm in, LichenClan, would be wonderful for you. Not at all necessary for longer posts, and the majority have no formatting in their posts. Super casual but pretty active during the day. Maybe check it out !! Either way, feel better soon <3

Hey! I'm sorry that you're feeling like that! I'm working on an RP, I'm not sure what you're looking for, but it's not even up yet and I accept everyone. You don't need to write novels as your responses and I would just be happy for you to be there!

I'll look into it!,, I'll also try to lighten up, right now it's eating at me while i scroll through fanclans. some of those have individual posts that probably come in with the word count of a short essay... how..

Agh I feel the same way too
I can't be literate. I just.. I can't do it. I can't type up five paragraphs every single time. One or two, got it. But five or more... no.
Quick history lesson, one time I got kicked off if a roleplay because I wasn't writing novel length responses. What really gets me is, the title red semi literate.
SEMI LITERATE IS NOT NOVEL LENGTH RESPONSES GEESUS WAY
sorry still a lot of pent up annoyance at that. [ please refrain from abbreviating cuss words that aren't allowed on the forums. thanks ~ ]

thank you for the offer Golden!! I'll look into your RP when it's up ^^ it feels a lot better to know i'm not the only one, ehehe,, I think it is absurd to ask someone to respond with an essay every time they reply! And to have super formatted replies... well, no hate, but that's just not for everyone!
I'll let you know when it's up! You can have the link to the planning page if you'd like to see if it's interesting to you. If it is, you can totally start working on your joining form! c:

I like the premise-- it reminds me a bit of this one book where a boy hatches a dragon egg and the dragon gets him into trouble, then the boy doesnt want to let the dragon leave back to her realm because he was friends with it. I think the dragon's name was Tiamat? That aside, I do think it's pretty cool! I'd have to sleep on joining, just simply to formulate a character, eheh... I'll tell you if i want to join when I think i'm ready. ^^

It's a cat website. And most people won't care if you can't rp well. It's not like they are gonna say, "oh gosh that girl Ferntail man she SUCKS are rping man dont talk to her" nah that won't happen. You can do it

I really dislike the concept of advanced role plays for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is they inhibit character interactions. How are you supposed to carry out a conversation if you have to write an essay for every post? Another reason is that they encourage bad writing, ie. purple prose. People will stuff their posts with unnecessary description and other fluff to meet the length requirement. I can understand not wanting people to post one-liners, but some role players take it way too far.

I can understand not wanting people to post one-liners, but some role players take it way too far. The sheer length, even if it isn't a written rule, imposes a hugely difficult standard of posting on any newcomer who wants to join, making them extremely joiner unfriendly. I can't understand how anyone has the time to type up these posts and still active more than bi-daily. On the topic of purple prose and bad writing skills, can I just say I've seen people use wolfspeak and claim it as advanced and it.... Really gets on my nerves. I'm not sure if it's called wolfspeak here or if that a Feral-Heart only term, but just call "eyes" eyes rather than oculars

It's almost impossible to start, let alone finish it! And I've seen that many a time with ultra advanced roleplayers. How they stuff unnecessary crap into the posts just to meet the post length. It's pretty awful.

Also, is it okay if I can throw out an rp pet peeve
I hate the terms illiterate, semi-lit and literate Like, if you can read ANY FORM of writing, you're literate. I've seen illiterate and semi-lit used to mean a short post when both pertain to the ability to write and understand language I grade it as basic (illit), casual (short/semilit), formal (medium/lit), articulated, advanced, novella
I dunno it just feels bad man when you see someone being called illiterate when they're a kid on the internet new to RP throwing 1 liners since they're newbies, ya feel
