Writing is a Passion

I feel like I have finally found my RP soulmate. They love my characters and they love the ships we do where they play a canon and I just play my original. They adore her and everything from just scenarios to plots we think up. They even liked my original ideas. We shoot replies back and forth daily, and talk for hours and hours until one of us had to give up and finally get some sleep. If I mentioned I liked a certain character, they’d offer to play them in a RP if I wanted. They told me that they really loved writing with me, that I wrote super well, and we’d think up more threads and characters than we could keep track of. They were like a jack of all trades partner. It was great and I was so happy.

Lately, they don’t seem to be noticing me anymore. If I don’t think up a topic to talk about they won’t reply to me. And even when I do our conversations fall flat. They won’t bring up topics. They won’t tell me what’s going on in their life anymore. Our threads haven’t been replied to in months. They won’t talk to me about characters or plots anymore. It’s like they lost all interest. And yet, they seem to have no problem informing me of roleplays they’re doing with other people. Or sigh and tell me they have so many replies to get to but mine’s never of them.

I have a roleplay search thread posted up that has all of my information like my writing experience and most importantly, the RP genres I’m searching for. Sometimes I get people interested in a roleplay who have very clearly not read my thread properly. I know this because they’ll do one of three things. 1) They’ll ask what I roleplay. —Yeah they definitely didn’t read my thread. 2) They’ll give me a plot pitch for something not on my list when my thread clearly states I’m not open to new prompts. (I don’t get angry at them for this but lately the only plot prompts I’ve been getting have been really creepy and outta left field.) 3) They’ll ask what I’m currently craving, when in my thread I clearly have symbols next to all my genres that tell if I’m craving them or not.

Roleplaying isn’t as fun as it used to be for me. I run three blogs, all female OCs, and it’s a pretty lonely existence, I’ll be honest. Once in a blue moon I’ll get someone who’s interested in a thread but each time it’s becoming harder and harder to get excited. More often than not, threads with me get dropped. Usually after a few reblogs. I can tell I’m not their immediate favorite, and sometimes I think maybe I’m just another 'thread’ for them. I’m just something for them to do, and if I’m not interesting enough, they’ll drop me like a sack of potatoes and not seem bothered that they left me hanging.

Can I just point out this is the first time anyone addressed me by name here and I got really excited about that. Anyway, I’m going to guess that you mean like what I rant about. Okay, one of my pet peeves is getting a thread dropped for no reason without being informed, especially if it’s like something that’s going to develop both characters. I’ve had that done to me a couple times and it sucks cause not only are you not letting these characters grow, but both of us might have two different ideas of what might have happened at the end. For example: in my head my character stormed off and just didn’t come back for a few days, but in yours my character kept yelling till finally your character told them to shut their mouth. That will always cause confusion in the next thread if something is mentioned.

Another big one is godmodding. Oh my god have I been godmodded before and it sucks especially if your partner refuses to realize, “Hey. My charrie isn’t like that.” Don’t do it to anyone. It can really kill the muse. That’s all I can really think of right now. Thanks so much for the question. Now, do I tag this as a rant or...
