/erp/ - Erotic Roleplay

>>69493

Perhaps you could post some of your logs and others here could try to give you some genuine feedback.

Or if you'd rather not expose yourself to everyone like that, perhaps you could find someone to play with who will give you honest and complete feedback afterwards, so at least you know what you can do to improve. I don't want to sound pretentious or anything, but I wouldn't mind doing that if you wanted to give it a try.

The biggest and best recommendation to improve yourself is to read.

Read the quest/fapbait/ERP threads, observe their styles.

Skim through a thesaurus, look up new words.

If you're desperate, lower your standards and typefuck depraved illiterates that are more likely jerking off to your posts than putting effort into their own.

My encouragement comes from doing unexpected kinks with my partners.

After lots and lots of vanilla banging and sloppy kissing, just break into the most disgusting or "different" kinks they have listed, the kinds that are virtually unheard of.

This gets me excited - and I mean actually excited, I mean giddy. My own arousal is second to theirs and I will type out paragraphs of twisted fuckery just to make their knees weak and their typing progressively worse as they fall to masturbation.

I completely feel you, OP. Recently I've felt like my writing has just totally stagnated and that I can't do either role well enough to provide for the other party. I'm more or less just trying to force my way through it to get more practice with partners.

I'd say, don't quit! It's kind of a writer's block, I think, and with time, you'll get through it. Just take it easy for a little while. Write casually, play with friends who don't have expectations, and remember that this is a hobby that you should be having fun with. If you're not enjoying yourself, then what's the point?

At least you're still trying. Some of us just gave up completely.

>>69498 is right, at least when it comes to reading what others do

Most people I shebang are people I've known for a bit so I can't trust their word. Yeah, I've tried branching out, but holy shit some people are bad. Worse than I, even. I don't even know, buh. I'd take up the offer but it just feels awkward.

>>69498

I've tried reading. Marginal improvements, but I'll concede they're improvements all the same.

>>69499

Problem is, I've tried that. It's turning into all I do. Unsatisfying to say the least.

>I've tried reading

It's not something that will lead to instant success.

Writing is a skill much like drawing - you need to practice often and observe the methods of others to improve your own.

It sounds to me that you're in a rut, OP, and, while they last for quite some time, you need to be the one to get yourself out of it.

Maybe you've been playing the same character for too long, or you haven't branched out your kinks and have done the same thing way too often, but you need something new and interesting to get you excited again.

I only say "I tried reading" because that's really most of what I do. If it's not a book, 60% of my other activities are literary by nature and the remainder being, well, I draw.

Maybe it's the kinks and maybe it's a rut as it sure sounds like it now that I take it into consideration. Might also be characters, eh. I'm notorious for making and scrapping characters back-to-back lately, but they rarely garner any such attention as my older ones (I have people who know me literlaly coming to ask if I can hop on Eliza).

I mean, how would you branch out kinks? I have a metric tonne of them, but the play becomes mildly vanilla (for my tastes) a lot of the time even if my partner and I share the same kinks. Probably sounding a bit too lost, but that's exactly what's going on. Bah.

Look at your list of kinks and take into consideration those that don't come into play. Think about what you would do with it, or how it would be to experience this in the eyes of your partner.

It doesn't matter if you're a dominant or a submissive - you have to assert these kinks onto your partner and start the scene. Preplanning removes a lot of the spontaneous feel of it, so I would recommend against that.

Take charge and be the one to move the scene forward, flex your literacy and let your imagination flow into words.

As long as you're asserting yourself and doing something and someone you absolutely want to do, you'll feel encouraged to do your best.

Where I can see this failing is with a partner who won't "get" it, who will try to take the scene into their own hands and create a sloppy power struggle that's no fun for either party. You should avoid these people, for more reasons than that.

I would also add that it's important to drop vague "What do you think of this kink?"-ish questions beforehand so it goes a bit more smoothly. Unless, of course, it's in their favorites.
