rpanons | generously pack butt with peanuts & carrots

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

It honestly depends. Yes, sometimes. Is there a reason you don’t feel the need to put in as much effort as the person you are threading with?

Length isnt equivalent to effort. Ive crapped out huge tags with no real thought and ive spent an hour mulling over a paragraph.

it isn't always equivalent but it is a good indicator. if i consistently write a lot and only get half that in return, my first assumption is going to be that they other person is less interested in the cr/thread than i am.

tbh i've seen threads where one person writes several paragraphs and the other person consistently responds with only a few sentences. i have no idea how the second player isnt mortified by their own laziness.

long, multi-paragraph tags are often very difficult to reply to. They might be so heavy on introspection that there isn't actually much to respond to, or they might have so much dialogue that you have to either split the conversation (which can get awkward) or you have to write the characters as if they're standing around monologuing to each other (which is always awkward). so sometimes a very short response can be an attempt to bring a bloated thread back on track... but the root of the problem is probably just incompatible rp styles.

I appreciate my partners for lengthy tags with good descriptive setup, but what the fuck is my character supposed to react to? "he thinks to himself how the moutains are indeed very pretty and the clouds in the sky appear to be fair. that's good."

found the person who uses five sentences where two would do

sometimes I overpour and get word soup all over the table cloth, yeah. I hope I tag you next and you hate it for having to read too much.
