This is the counter of the thread of rp 'icks'.
What is or are your 'clicks' in erp?

-I tend to start being ever more intrigued when kinks, limits, plots, and even refs are in common tastes. -Plots being built from the ground up or a half one getting finished up is also pretty fire. -The wiliness to tell their status almost constant. It's not something I aim for but it surprises the hell out of me and I respect it! -Detail being very detailed. One of the many key things to making an rp real good.

My clicks is when someone is really into the rp. Like the more engaged you are the more I will be too. Also having the ability to tap into each others kinks well is a definite click. Like i’m into praise myself so if my partner really goes into that it makes me go wild. I think something else is when doing an rp it isn’t just full on sex all the time. Like I love a bit of romance and some plot in my rp’s so if someone puts that in? I will not be leaving any time soon.

Basically same for kinks; if potential partner has a lot of the same it grabs my attention a lot.

Also if they're enjoyable to chat with while planning stuff or when not rping.

When somebody is as equally interested as I am. Lots of details and the ability to really tell a story like you’re the character is very important to me. I’ve mentioned this on here before, but one of my big fantasies is leading/joining a sex cult and accurately roleplaying that with somebody requires a good amount of background knowledge and effort put in by the both of us. It also helps when we both have similar sexual interests. Although, I think that’s probably a given.

And the ability to take a break from the horny and just tell a good story.

If you're gonna look for a direct request cause I've had people approach me. Be completely open on your kinks (or what's at the top of your mind), the ideas of what I got your attention on, and of course time-zones and when you're often active on your first reply. Sure that sounds demanding, but looking through two of my closest friends opening replies. Only those two stuck with me since then and I already confied in those after over two years.

Don't be minimal, go all out to show that you're truly interested and for the other to know the most about you first thing so they'll have a better choice weather or not to write back to you. But don't try to sound dirty or weird. Be casual like any other and you'll be fine. This goes for the girls too cause some actually freaked me out, but that's another topic.

-Really good writing!

-make it easier to respond, and wont control my character. Gives me room to do my own thing or make a decision.

-good grammar. Knows the differences between their they're and there. Also your and you're.

-interesting character. Not some generic or self insert.

1) Weird one, but the person prefers first person perspective (it shows me that they are really interested in rp imo and it kinda makes rp more personal, which triggers my serving personality)
2) The person shows in one way or another that they are enjoying the rp. Just small comments from time to time that they like what's going on and are not afraid of talking OOC to share thoughts regarding rp and what they want to add/remove
3) They enjoy brainstorming and worldbuilding (it's a very important part of the rp for me, because worldbuilding and character creation is something I enjoy a lot)

-People who are interested, and ready, to do longer, more, ambitious and grand plots. It shows to me that they’re actually interested in telling an intriguing and creative story instead of just some generic plot that’s only interested in sex scenes.

-People who actually give suggestions to further build and develop your ideas. Especially if they suggest something really interesting that you probably wouldn’t have thought of. It’s always annoyed me when I ask someone what ideas they might have and instead of a simple “No”, they just go “I’ll do whatever you want”. Atleast with the former I understand that they probably have nothing much in mind, which is understandable, but the latter just makes it seem that they aren’t interested or invested enough in the rp to actually want to contribute. Brainstorming is largely meant to be a collaborative process when it comes to RPs, so it’s annoying when it seems like they’re pushing all that brainstorming onto me.

- When the initial reference for their character or the scenario gets the dick twitching.

- When they're literate in writing and detailed with what they want, and what they don't want.

- When I'm not doing the heavy lifting without explanation.

- When they're knowledgeable about the character they're playing when we both are aware that this is an in character, in universe roleplay.

- Aaand when they prioritize our roleplay to a fair and respectable degree.

When my partner understands the charm and beauty of character romance over simple lust.

When my partner communicates ideas and problems in a straightforward manner without trying to telepathically tell me.

When my partner uses the Oxford comma (HUGE ONE).

I can’t exactly pinpoint it- maybe it’s a mix of a kink I enjoy, decent grammar and actual effort/enjoyment from both sides but if all that hits just the right spot and I wind up writing a . . . Decent bit more than usual then it’s clear my partners done something right!

- Actually tells me what they enjoy or avoid. It really isn’t much to just share excitement over an RP and what you’re looking to have, or what hotspots the last message touched on that you want to explore more into.

- Bounces off ideas instead of just ingesting them. Like sure, I can throw ideas all out there and lay out the plot, but when my partner grabs my idea and then gives something interesting to return back it’s a nice sign that they’re eager to play out the plot.

- Passion. I’ve seen the longest, and the shortest, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say some short three liners had enough passion to make some paragraph speakers blush.

- I love Nonhuman characters, so it’s always great when someone who has a nonhuman character understands they’re not just a human with fur. I’ve loved playing with scenes like for example, Rouge the Bat, and the partner actually acknowledges she’s a bat and has fantastic hearing.

Sometimes there’s some nice diamonds in the rough, but even more disappointingly is even most of the partners I drew examples from in these lists have drifted off in time. Can’t have great times all the time.

Brain is fully thinking now so another thing I thought of

Other person contributing towards planning the rp and talking what they're interested in along with me. Can literally just chat for hours about scenario setups, kinky situations, minute details of kinks and so on and that gets me really into wanting to do something with them.

Lack of any of that, and just giving empty replies that show no aspects of their desires usually indicates very uninteresting/dripless rp replies. Which kills my mood hyper fast.



Yeah basically all this but way better said than I did lmao
