[align=center]if you are looking for a plot, don't stop reading I'll get there I promise!
(but please do read everything or this won't make sense.)
(I know it's a lot, but it may be worth it...)
First off *ahem* I am Jobo/froggy queen/joebert/Berty/joby/Joey/little Howard/steph/whatever the heck you want to call me. So what I've seen so far in my time at this site, is threads die quickly. You get bored! I understand completely! Especially when there is only one character. You use up your plot on your one character, and poof. You're done and the thread goes into extinction. So you can see I like playing more then one character. Second off! Another reason threads die off, is confusion. You know what I mean. You join a thread with numerous people, and boom. Three minutes later there is a whole new page where you have no clue what's going on. You get flooded, and you give up on the circus. So pafp is a personal preference of mine too. And threads with plots planned out every step of the way are boring! Do you agree my fellow audience? Now. I want this thread to be slightly different.
I will make four characters. Two girls, and two guys. I will do my best to explain every painstakingly tiny detail about this person I imagined up, and then post them out. The introductory will be a couple of paragraphs and I will have written it in my journal before hand. Now during this time you will be doing nothing. Not thinking about my characters, not about the thread, and not about what your characters will be. This process will be slow at first, but you will reap the benefits of this, hopefully. (no promises). Once I've finished one of my characters, that's when you start Thinking about the right character to fit the personality of my character. That is up to you to chisel up the right details, I don't mind if it's short description, it all depends on how you play him/her. (oh and remember I don't do bi, so if I make a girl, could you make a guy? Sorry...). So it is a romance rp! You will have to be committed too in order to do this. And interested! If you are meh on this idea, I suggest you don't join. So this is the main idea of how to make your characters and mine and how it would start, but it'll be worth it because it would be a good base for the thread. But remember, no pressure. If you are getting bored after a while, tell me. No big deal I may think of some things to spice it up, or we could let the thread die. No problem. This expirement is just to find ways to make threads lastt longer.
And now for the plot. The plot is pretty simple, and not intricate(THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE THREAD WILL NOT BE INTRICATE!) the thread will be very intricate. Every plot idea ad twist and turn should not be said out loud. If you think it would be a good plot, do not consult me. Just do it. If you think so and so would be a better couple, go right on ahead. It is just as much your thread as mine. But be warned I do the same. But getting off topic a bit... The plot is this. Eight people all go to Yale colledge and start meeting and making friends and as time goes on romance and stuff they do things drama and crap. :3 see, I promised a plot. It. Is a sad one, but like I said, this is not going to be a boring thread. And take your time in making the relationships. Plan out dates. And when you play a guy, remember he has a big responsibility, and don't be afraid to play it corny. If my fellow rper is a girl, you would know how much you want a guy to bring you on a romantic date and tell you he loves you at sunset bla bla bla, but treat these cyber girls the way real girls want to be treated, and I think you'll find the rp a bit more believable when jobs and money is incorporated. So yeah. If you have read this far, I am truly impressed. Thank you, and please reply if you feel this is as good as an idea as I do! Thank you again and I hope this works. :3
