Thread: Traveler's RP Organizer

How to start a thread For RPers new to the forum 1. Go to the Forum link on the top of the page, then scroll down to the blue banner marked Roleplays. You have several alternatives in deciding where to put our story. Each area has a brief description of what kind of roleplay would best go in the spot. Mostly, 1x1s are listed in the first five sections, the next three are request areas where we found each other, and the last four are for groups. 2. Once you decide where our story should go, open the link and find the New Thread button on the right. 3. Click the button and create a title for the story. I usually put who is writing in parenthesis like You x Traveler after the title, just to keep myself organized. Then write your introduction post. 4. Below the posting block there is a selection for Thread Subscriptions. You'll want to subscribe to the thread. Farther down are three buttons Post Thread, Preview Post, and Save as Draft. These are important. Definitely preview your post to check for glaring errors and to make sure that any links you include are working. Sometimes I find that I have to save my draft to work on later, or if my IP is acting up I save often rather than lose my work. When you're happy with it, go ahead and post. 5. Last but not least, send me a link in PM. Then go to the thread you just made and on the right side is a little place where it says Post 1. If you right click on the 1 it will allow you to Copy Link Location. If you paste this into a PM and send it to me then I can find your post and subscribe to it. Advice on writing a good request thread The most important thing you should do is to be very picky on who you play with. For instance, know what kinds of partners you want and how you want to interact with them. Figure out these things first 1. Do you want to play in threads on the forum, PM private message on the forum, emails, or IM Instant messaging, AIM, YIM, etc.. State it in your request thread and make sure that you stick to it. Sometimes it's best to stick to one form of RPing until you get the hang of checking for updates. I personally only play on forum threads because it's more organized for my style of computer use. 2. What kind of interactions do you want? MF, MM, FF... furries, monsters, etc. It's important to know what kind of pairings or threesomes, etc. you like and which roles you want to play. Role playing should be fun for you. If you continually play what others want to do without any regard for your own desires then you'll wind up unhappy. 3. What kind of sexual interaction, if any, do you want? What level of detail do you want in sex scenes, fight scenes, etc.? 4. How much plot do you want in the story? It appears from your request thread that you want more story and less smut. Be clear about this in your request thread. A lot of people will PM you and ask you to cybersex with them. If you don't want this then don't be afraid to 'hurt their feelings' by saying NO. 5. It's always okay to say no, or to tell a partner if you realize that you're not having fun and don't want to continue. Some people online will get really upset and try to torment you by writing hateful things about you, PMing you, etc. to get you to play with them. There is a useful tool on this site to block that. If someone bugs you for any reason you can click on their name and open their profile. In the bottom left is a place where you can add them to your buddy list or your blocked list. BLOCK THEM. It will make your life more pleasant. 6. Keep it short in your descriptions if possible. Use paragraph breaks to make your writing easier to read. Use spoilers to hide blocks of text so that people can click it to open the block if they want to read it. Take out the space behind the word 'spoiler' and use the code below spoiler Text you want to hide spoiler See more Text you want to hide
