/erp/ - Erotic Roleplay

90% chance it was your wordplay. Theres partners that have hit my post length, their kinks lined up with mine. We OOC bantered well.

But.

I thought their writing was burning to the eyes and lacking any-and-all voice, so I cut it off at the legs.

>>63328

I thought I had at least decent wordplay but looking back on it, at 3 in the morning and kinda shy it did seem constrained in some way. How do you go amount improving your wordplay anyway?

>>63334

Well, to start off, you don't agree to roleplay if you're not fully conscious (super late/tired, medicated, angry/sad with something else to the point it shows in your posts). You may think you're making sense and being the greatest erotic poet in the world, but go ahead. Save the logs. Look at them when you're actually awake. And weep.

>>63327

This can happen if everything seems to match on paper, but there's no spark in practice.

It's happened many times to me in the past, giving or receiving. The both of us look like a couple made in Heaven, we like the same things, we can write a complete RP without a problem - but one's way of putting words, without being incompetent, just plain doesn't happen to push the buttons of their partner.

There's no shame in it. It's just how life goes.

>>63334

Well, first and foremost? Refuse to accept your usual standard as acceptable. People can whine about how 'difficult' it is to get your post length going, but as long as I put my mind to it I -must- top my partner's posts. You aren't challenging yourself if you aren't breaking your molds - something I've had to learn the hard way these last seven-to-eight months since I last had a proper scene and getting back on the wagon.

Adjectives are your friend. Raunchy adjectives at that, as are licentious details. Your character might not be a whore, might not even be someone that casually fucks. But guess what. =This is sex.= Make it slutty, make it lewd - chock it full of debauched details that light the fires of passion within you to no end. Make it so your character exudes whatever sexuality and sensual nature they are meant to. Big ass glistening latex monster from hell? Mention the slimy layers of filth covering the twisting and coiling tentacles slithering upon the ground towards the victim. Muscled male? Chiseled abs, layers of shimmering sweat beading down the crevices as the scent of perspiration radiates out and stings upon the nostrils. I'd do a female, but I'll be writing here for the next week because that is what I find arousing.

Google + Thesaurus.com = Winning Combo.

Oh, and if you're using Hemingway, as anything other than, "Am I within a range of what a 7-to-10th grader could read', you're using it wrong and you should feel bad. Just a note. This is text-fucking, not, 'How can I write a dissertation about FUCKING'. And yes, it feels bad not having lewds in the 16+ category. But you know what that means? Your lewds are un-fucking-readable to the common masses and you should feel fucking bad. I know, oddly specific. But this shit right here has been pissing me off lately with 'lengthier' partners I've stumbled upon who don't even know what the fuck the tool is meant to be used for. Jesus.

>>63336

Can't say I disagree/agree. Tired lewds have been some of my best. Ingenuity comes from desperation and your brain not clicking properly. They've also been some of the fuckin' worst things imaginable as I look back and realize I didn't even have coherent sentences in a few places. Depends entirely on the partner for me.

TL;DR I just woke up and I'm rambling, take it as a grain of salt holy fuck I'm late for work.

I had a partner when I was first starting out on F-list. Perfectly fine character with kinks that matched up on my own. The problem was that eventually, it just felt like they were going down a checklist of my kinks. That's not really fun. Eventually you just sorta know where they're gonna go and it ruins playing with someone cause you could just imagine the scene yourself if it was going to be entirely about your favorite stuff.

My favorite partners tend to be those that find a few kinks that match up and throw them into a relatively normal scene. The fun comes from bouncing dialogue back and forth and how the characters interact, not the actions they were doing. I felt bad, because I knew that they were doing it to please me, but I at least told them what I felt was wrong.

>>63362

Looking back at them I think I wasn't descriptive enough. I need more adjectives and bigger words I guess. I focused entirely on the action being done, and tried to make it sound hot and not the character's dialogue or how they felt. And that's where it kinda fell off.

>>63370

So… focus less on going down the list of kinks and just kinda go with a flow? Is that what you're saying?

>>63334

Don't take advice from fai

>>63328

> "voice"

Using this word to describe ERP, no matter the context, calls to mind something akin to Marlee Matlin reciting the Gettysburg Address.

>>63400

Excuse me whilst I go off, log in, and get mounds of praise and ego-stroking from my partners (not even submissives) for how I roleplay, and you just whine about how no one likes you kthxs <3.

>>63400

>>63422

Newfag here. I've seen your name pop up on this board before, who are you exactly? (if you don't mind the question)

>>63400

This, the guy is just a troll and is a laughably bad 'writer'

Just keep practicing your writing until you're better. A lot of low tier players think ERP is just hitting kinks and having attractive character art. You've got to actually have decent writing talent if you want to make the most of it. The difficult part is finding a reason to waste your time on F-List if you're actually good at writing since you could be writing things that actually matter. Get to that point. Make it your goal.

Fai is someone who's right 80% of the time but because she's "mean", the majority of the board writes her off as trolling. If you can look past her oh so scathing words (Or just not be some weak skinned faggot with absolutely zero reading comprehension), she has pretty sound advice. For example, she didn't say a thing about your skills at all. She just said your partner may not like your wording, which is a thing that happens. Different strokes for different folks and all that. Trying to please everyone gets you nowhere, so just develop what you have.

>>63454

Just look at >>63460

>Laughably bad 'writer'

>Has repeated ad nasuem that calling what we do writing is an affront to the craft.

Sometimes I hate retards, but then I simply feel pity for they know not what they do.

>>63422

>Excuse me whilst I go off, log in, and get mounds of praise and ego-stroking from my partners

Don't come back.

>>63474

> his tendency to put an apostrophe before every word-ending s (thing's)

I'd have dropped him there and then. This shit is not a hard concept to grasp.

>>63468

It's ad nauseam.

Thanks bae. Much appreciated.
