I've been looking through the thread of information for new ERP'ers, but I just couldn't find the answer I've been looking for.

What is the correct way to first approach someone?

Seeing as I have a new character on f-list and I'm not likely to get noticed (though I already have a few contacts from /erp/), I decided it would be a good idea to go out and approach people myself. However, I haven't had any responses as of yet.

I try the following thing. "Hey, I saw your character and I think it's a really good one. We have the same kinks, so how about we rp sometime? Hope to hear from you soon."

Also, general etiquette thread.

There is none really. Some people like a friendly hello, some people want an IC introduction, some folks want an idea to plan around… There's a whole mess of ways to open, but it's always going to be hit or miss depending on if they have a way to approach them listed on their profile or not.

All in all, most basic etiquette is to not be a douche. What this means is specific from person to person sadly, so just try not to be butt hurt if someone turns you down or doesn't respond.

Also, have you posted your character profile link in the shilling thread? Might be a good way to get some further attention if you haven't.

Honestly, the "don't be a douche" thing doesn't even count. On my NTR enabling girlfriend stealing jock character, people seem to respond much better when I go out of my way to do precisely the douchiest thing possible – including OOC stuff and engaging in kinks that they have listed as hard "No"s.

The honest truth is, that as far as etiquette goes, there is none at all. Literally nothing. Do whatever the fuck you want, and try to be as attractive as possible to your partner.

It's just a little bit frustrating because I would rather get turned down paired with any reason whatsoever than get ignored.

Also, I shill my character at any opportunity I get and I have two people from /Erp/ now. The only problem is that they are from vastly different timezones.

>>62445

Seems kinda faut pas, but I will try it sometime.

Approaching me with a scene idea would put you heads and shoulders above most of the approaches I get.

Link to character? Not sure I could help but I'd gladly take a look and see if you're up my alley or not :)

Sure~

Also, criticism is appreciated.

Alas, not my speed of character (a dominate male myself), but nothing seems "wrong" with the profile on its own. The character seems closed off a bit in some areas that might make finding partners a tad bit difficult though (sadly, being open to furries can get you plenty of partners even if you're not big on anthros). Past that, no real issue I can see. Seems perfectly fine for what you're after really.

Good luck finding someone all the same dude!

No, you are not a "dominate" male.

You are a "DOMINANT" male.

Jesus. Sorry, but as a sub it fucking kills me when people can't even recognize basic shit like that. Like, how can I love and worship you if you can't even figure that shit out?

Not him, but auto-correct works in mysterious ways I've found. He's probably on his phone or something.

Because my brain moves too fast for my fingers to keep up? Seriously though, that one simply slipped passed me. Didn't even notice in the review until you said something. I try to be good about that sort of thing most of the time.

>>62458

Can't stand browsing the site on my phone actually. Hate having to do it if I'm out of the house and bored.

This shit right here. Do not call your dominant partner, a 'dom'. Fucks with me every fucking time.

As a blue who approaches only pinks, you want to make sure your approaches are to the point without beating around the bush and no bullshit either. Male characters get bad reps for being unimaginative "Ey bby, want sum dis? ;)" types, so you need to break the mold and put in some extra work if there's someone you really want to play with. You profile for Alex is good considering it's your very first, but you got to work on a bit more characterization, perhaps a few reference pictures (don't focus on dick pics unless you're going for poon and nothing else), and some formatting just to make things look prettier and easier on the eyes. A good profile/character will set you apart from the sea of blues out there.

>"Hey, I saw your character and I think it's a really good one. We have the same kinks, so how about we rp sometime? Hope to hear from you soon."

Not bad, much better than the typical "What's up!" people get, but it needs work and something more personal. Mention their character's name instead, perhaps say that you think they have an interesting backstory or setting.Say that you think your characters can mesh well, other than your kinks though. Kink talk can be mentioned in another way, or even just wait. If you're going after someone, you'd want to pitch something right in the opening, so they know you're serious rather than asking if you can RP sometime. It sounds wishy-washy and passive. Being thoughtful and kind though is always good, you might want to try something like this instead though:

"Hey there, I gave a look over Jennifer's profile and I really liked the background you had going for her. That being said, I'd be really interested in trying to do something together. Since it seems like we're both into a strong dom/sub aspect in an RP, I had a few scenario ideas in mind that could be fun and bring both of our character together. Feel free to give Alexander here a look over and let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure we've got kinks that match up pretty well, but if any of this doesn't seem to be like your sort of thing, then I understand. Thanks for giving this a read!"

Shows that you actually read the profile, are looking for immediate play, and are most importantly coming to the table with ideas in hand. I pitch stuff like this fairly often and players playing females 9 times out of 10 actually end up being thankful for a more thought out approach. So it works without being a huge wall of text or anything, and if someone refuses, then just keep moving. You also want to change it up every so often, make sure it seems personal rather than a generic greeting you just fill in the blanks.
