Gypsea, in my high school days I was the queen of plot twists in our robins. If another author handed me one and said "I couldn't really come up with anything." I went all out. Most of my turns ended up being full pages. El (another author in high school) both were like that. Her ideas were the best.

Like Seika was saying, everyone can control any character. That is what I loved about it. If you need this character to do this for the plot you could make them do it. You didn't have to worry about it dying or losing the plot.

Good luck looking?



In a general nutshell, it's like writing a story but you're taking turns with people. Unlike RPs everyone controls the characters. More detailed in my opinion.

I could never stand it.... cant let others play my characters :feesh:

Seika 06-01-2010 08:37 AM

Haha. But Sharing is Caring though!

But I understand. Even though RR everyone shares, you generally still end up writing your own characters more than the other person's ones. Or at least from your characters point of view more often. Or at least I do.

Mehimaru 06-01-2010 08:38 AM

I have no problem letting my friend control my characters. They knew Mehi just as well as I knew El's Kitta, or Ash's InYa, or even Bannah's Baby. We all knew each others characters like our own. Makes it easier to let someone control your character when you know they know the character. I should type up one of ours and let you read it, Gypsea. They tend to be very interesting. Oh, wait I do have part of one typed!!

sorry - lost interwebz connection for a few - and i can't fall asleep right now - too hot - waiting for ac to cool things down upstairs

i totally can't RP or round robin - i have no imagination :( i envy those who can

Seika 06-01-2010 08:40 AM

Yeah. They're interesting when they're a friend who knows your character well. : D I have a few here in the lit spot too if you wanna read them.

when you have thought of their history and why they act the way they do, some one having your character say something or do something can kill the character. that is why I usually dont play some one else characters even if it is from a TV show or movie

Mehimaru 06-01-2010 08:42 AM

Seika, the lit spot is where the one I have typed is. It is called the Soap Opera and for good reason. Look it up if you want. It is under my main though (mehimaru).

I understand, Gypsea. And you are right. That's why I stick to the regular RP rules here. Although I would love to get back into round robins. I really miss them. *sigh*

Seika, forewarning, the Soap Opera is not normal. You will have to read it to understand. And it is in dialogue format not story format. Bannah likes dialogue format more than story so that is how we wrote it.

Lunna Dea 06-01-2010 08:46 AM

you know I could see how a round robin done in journal format might work.

Mehimaru 06-01-2010 08:46 AM

Yes, I could see how it would.

Seika 06-01-2010 08:49 AM

@gypsea Ah, yeah I understand. But I guess I'm okay with it? My characters are kinda vague to begin with it. If it's totally out of character, I tell my partner, but overall, I don't mind the real leeway. In some cases it gives me something to think about and sometimes to improve the character.

Though 70% of the time I don't even bother with my preset personal characters, choosing to make new ones for the RP or if I use my personal characters, it's usually only the name, appearance, and general personality. Everything else (history,abilities, morals, reasons, how they would react, etc etc) I try to make it up with the storyline.

@mehi If I get the chance I'll look them up. :D I haven't been in the lit spot since I basically stopped Round Robins. I'll keep that in mind too.

magikjaz 06-01-2010 08:49 AM

sweet dreams everyone! catch you tomorrow! the house is finally cool enough to sleep ;)

Seika 06-01-2010 08:49 AM

Night magi!

Mehimaru 06-01-2010 08:51 AM

nite magik!!!

Lunna Dea 06-01-2010 08:51 AM

night then magi

Mehimaru 06-01-2010 08:54 AM

I wish I could explain my friend and my characters to y'all. We do tend to make new characters for some stories, but each one of us as our own individual character. Like Mine is Mehi Tora. That is how I get part of my main avi's name (mehimaru). We have wrote tons of stories using these characters. Gahhhh!!! I miss writing so bad!!!!

Maybe just write your own story? As a side project. Vent any ideas you have but can't use?

Hello!

Mehimaru 06-01-2010 08:58 AM

Seika, lol. I have a thousand started stories on my computer. It just doesn't feel write without being able to hand it to El and say "your turn." Those were the good days.

Lunna Dea 06-01-2010 08:58 AM

the having Ideas is the reason I like to RP that way I can work out my Ideas. I get writers block if I dont have another person working with me.

Inuyasha-samaskoi122 06-01-2010 08:59 AM

How's it going?
