I like to RP because to me it feels like your on one of those cool awesome shows.You know why it feels like one to me?Because when your Role Playing you can act like whatever you want to be that your really not.And for some reason RPing helps me socialize or as everyone else would say 'get out of my shell alittle'.Thats really why I Role Play.Plus its really fun.

I think I'll just sort of jump in here as this section is what I originally came here for anyway...


I have first RP'd... what was it, two years ago? I really had no clue what to do but I gradually learned how to do it and I still am very happy with how my character Aleister turned out. He is an example to most of my other characters although I try to deviate.

Anyway, I started RPing just because it seemed like a good idea at the moment. It looked fun, and I was in the mood... so why not?

When the RP died, I found that its disappearance actually took something away from me. The chance to write, and to actually continue writing. I just can't write by myself. I need fresh impulses, other people's ideas, interaction with other characters, conversations I don't make up but that naturally develop.

I guess I just need input from other people, interaction with other writers, for me to write well. I have found, since then, that an RP is so much more than reading, or indeed writing a book. It is so much more than playing a game. It is much more than seeing a film. You make the story, yet you are not the sole director of how the story goes, or how it ends. An RP just offers the EXACT combination of control and surprise that I like.


Oh! Almost forgot! Hi. I'm new here.
