Roleplay Habits: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

Roleplaying Habits Questions

2. are there any languages besides english in which you think you could comfortably roleplay?

[[ Probably not! Despite growing up with spanish and being a fluent speaker, I much prefer to read/write in English. ]]

4. how often do you need to translate your own or the other’s writing with a dictionary or google when writing and reading replies?

[[Thankfullly basically never because when I see people using purple prose/overly flowery writing, I just avoid them on principle.]]

6.do you have ideal writing circumstances when you can do a lot of drafts or tackle really long ones very easily?

[[ Answered! ]]

8.how does tiredness affect your writing?

[[If I’m really really sleepy, most of the time the character will go with me. Unless something drastic happens to them, in which case their feelings will force me awake. ]]

10.how much do you proof-read as you are writing vs. proof-read at the end?

[[I usually proof-read while I write. Since I type in the Academically taught way, I can tell when I make a mistake the moment I make it, and I usually backspace immediately to go fix it. Other errors will occasionally get in though, but it’s usually me completely replacing a word with another (hence me not noticing the error), and I will usually notice these post publishing when I’m re-reading the post. ]]

Roleplaying Habits Questions

6. do you have ideal writing circumstances when you can do a lot of drafts or tackle really long ones very easily?

[[I seem to be hit and miss, really. It depends if I’m really feeling the thread(s) at the moment. Once I am writing a thread I can reply in under a minute, tops. Lady can attest to this. I type extremely fast. If I’m not really feeling it I won’t even start typing and then I can take days/weeks. For some reason I can’t listen to music anymore while I write, I get really choppy.

Long ones don’t bother me, though. It’s all about whether I’ve set my hands to the keyboard yet. ]]

18. what’s your inbox count currently? what did you do to get it so high/low?

[[ ;_;

This is because this blog has been active for 5 years and there was a period where countless people asked me for info on meta/scenarios/what ifs, etc. I’d still like to go back and tackle these one day that the series is over so my answers aren’t purely guessing, though. ]]

24. what’s your thought process when you format? any unspoken rules you follow?

[[ Legibility. That’s it. I’m never gonna be that person that does overly fancy formatting. I can just tell where I need a page-break depending on the flow of the text. What’s happening, who’s talking, will it be a dramatic pause if I stop the text here–

and continue here? So on. And I don’t spam bold/italics. I’m allergic to small text. Overall I want people to be able to read my text without having to do anything extra on their part. ]]
