I think I'm cursed. Almost 95% of the people I've started a scenario with have randomly fallen into the void and never returned, likely due to the things I've stated below.
As for my flaws:
- I have a very busy schedule, which can conflict with the flow of a roleplay. I also often lose my interest in writing, but I ensure that I complete it from start to finish.
- I roleplay more for the enjoyment of writing than sexual gratification. A majority seek the latter so that can create conflicts since I like to not rush things.
- May be a flaw or not. I almost always require adequate preliminary events before getting to anything sexual. A lot of people do not have the patience for this. I have disdain for sex with no context, since no tone, atmosphere, or setting exists. This might be why so many ghost me. They want to satisfy a sexual craving as soon as possible and don't want to go through these things; it's understandable but quite rude.
-I have a tendency to be "too" detailed (if that's even a thing). It can make people feel pressured to meet the same amount of words, despite myself stating that I'm not strict with that. I often have to omit details that I'd like to include because I feel that they wouldn't want to read such a lengthy response; however, including some extra details is crucial at times to set future actions up.
- It can be difficult to find adequate vocabulary to avoid repetition when the sexual parts of the story are lengthy, especially when the same position is used multiple times or the character I'm playing as limits my possible actions.
- Sometimes not enough context is provided to write a lengthy reply. I'm not one for verbosity. I like when details are relevant so it leaves a bad taste to artificially inflate the writing.
- Some RP requests can be really vague or ambiguous. I have no idea how to approach the person. The ones that are specific are my preference anyway.
- I lack vulgarity, despite the nature of this site. My elegant personality can be inappropriate and conflict with my writing.
Myself personally, I don't think a lot of these are flaws in the slightest. Based on personal experience, I do think that explaining every little detail is a bit of a bad habit that's hard to break. 99% of the time, your reader is going to be able to assume the nitty gritty details without it being spoon fed to them exactly what's happening.
The problems with not having enough context comes from the fact that there are two completely different spectrums for what roleplaying actually is, especially on here. There's a mix of people that want something more straightforward and to the point, which is not a bad thing by any means, and people who want something more long term.
While, story oriented rps are certainly few and far between and harder to find, it's all about finding someone that matches your writing preferences/style.
As for my faults, consistency is my greatest flaw. Not because I lose interest in the rp itself, but because real life obligations come up and pull me away from being able to reply in a consistent fashion. Sometimes for a month at a time. By the time I come back, my partner has usually lost interest or moved on.
