As the title says, I'm curious about just who all lurks in and reads rps. And if you do, do you just read or are you also an rper? I just became curious because I know some people have said they've read some of mine and I've read bits of other people's though I've never stuck to that.

ME! I love reading other people's RP's! (I do also RP myself.) It's just like reading a story just a bit different, and it can give me ideas for my own RP's ^_^

oh yeah, that's a good idea to get your ideas from reading other people's rps. I never thought of it quite that way.

Yeah, I'll read through some RP's and think how cool and think how I can twist something like that into my own!

I think that's a really good idea. I usually read an rp if I think it's a good idea, but isn't something I would write myself. especially with fandoms which I love to read and never write.

It's just, I haven't read in so long. not fanfics or rps. I get so burned out because of my school reading load. maybe over winter break I can get back into it some. I have a couple stories bookmarked that I've been wanting to read.

That was one of my main pass times on here a couple years back. I'd respond to my own rps and then go read through interesting rps other people had. Mostly to pass time because I'm such a sucker for a good story. And it helped to scout out other players that were strong writers or really creative/productive. Mainly though, it was about reading the stories.....

I must admit, even though I have only been on here for a little while, I have read other's rps occasionally. Mainly just to scope out what kind of rper they are, or to check out what my rp partner is up to with other rpers. (I'm such a stalker O_O) I think I'd be weirded out if someone told me they had read mine O_O But I suppose it would be a good way to get some ideas for your own rps or for some research like I do :D

If it's a private or one-on-one RP, I try to leave it alone, because lurking around those makes me feel dirty. If it's an open RP, I'll sometimes latch on like a soap opera fan until the thread dies, or if it's the sort of thing I can get into I'll start playing in it.

I used to read every dead RP thread on forums too, pages and pages of them, because the more material you encounter and experience, the more experience you'll have to draw from in making up your own stories, plot lines and characters.

That, and some of them are just really fun to read. I've read some awesome stories in old RP threads. I like too how you can see someone's (or even your own) RP skills go from crap to godly over the course of several RPs. It's like watching their inner storyteller grow up and evolve, right in front of you.

Why would you feel dirty reading a private rp, vera? I've never heard that before. I never figured there was any different feel to reading public or private.
But I definitely know what you mean by watching a writer get better. Lately I've been reading over some of my old stuff and it's just amazing. I hate to read dead rps though, from me or others. It makes me sad to see a story that leaves me unsatisfied.

Have you found interesting things that way, kas?

I do. I read them. Private RP threads too. I'm terrible, sure, but not exactly sorry. It's a public forum, with a private messaging system. You post out in the great big world and I might just read it. Please don't hate me.

Who would hate you? :O I don't think of it as something totally private from other peoples eyes. Lately I've been going through and reading a lot.

I mean...the first time someone told me they read my rps I was surprised and weirded out because I never thought about people complimenting something like that. I always thought that no matter how private your thread was (rp or otherwise) there was always at least a mod lurking in there. Always tried to imagine what they were thinking.

I lurk occasionally. Back on Gaia my subscribed section is a graveyard of dead plays I don't want to forget because I always thought it would be fun to edit them into an actual story... I wanna go look at that now.

A graveyard of your own dead stories? That's what I have here.

Some died because of me (ridiculously long ad lits) others died because because apparently keeping a plot alive is too hard.

Repackage those old stories with sprinkles, baby. What's old is new again and has sprinkles on top.
