Come on people, can't you at least stick around for more than one post before you decide the rp isn't worth it. I know a bad rp can been seen quickly, but isn't this too quick? Give the rp a chance!!
5. Really nice characters. You know, that really sweet and shy girl (sometimes guy) that forgives everything, wants no trouble, always backs down, never yells, or hates, a complete follower. I run into these ALL the time. These people aren't mary sue's really. They're even fine characters sometimes, but eventually it just gets really boring because I quickly run out of things to do in the story. This also goes for those damsel in distress chars!
*I've found a word for this: Hood Ornament. Sure some characters who are very sweet and shy are sometimes not hood ornaments, but because it's so overdone, I end up dislike them too. Which is sad. Don't make me dislike something I shouldn't. :( |
#3 Totally Irks me. I've had rps I was super excited about be completely dropped because the person just didn't want to give it a chance. And what's worse is they stop responding so I don't know what was wrong.
As for #5, I actually have a character like this and because I know that she doesn't make a great rp character I have her paired with an older sister who is hot tempered, paranoid and violent. Makes things a lot more interesting :)
But also something you didn't mention that is on my pet peeves, I hate not getting back what I put in. If I write someone four paragraphs of really nice story telling and get back one line. It irritates me so much and makes it hard to respond again for me.
