What Is This Section? - Read Me

Postby Fomalhaut on Tue Dec 09, 2008 7:04 pm

This section of the forum is separate from the main RP section, Mighty Pens. Only users in the Mighty Pens usergroup may post here (people with a dark blue name), but all members may access this section and read the threads in it.
The purpose of this section is for those who aren't quite at the Lit level yet to be able to observe purely Lit roleplays and thus improve their own technique. It's also a place for Lit-level roleplayers to be able to run an RP at a more relaxed pace, and come out with a better story as a result.

If you wish to be able to post in this section, create a piece of prose or an RP intro and send it to either myself, Dragonizer or Wight. If it's written well enough, you'll become part of the Mighty Pens usergroup and get a nice shiny custom title. =D

When you re-post Strife you'd better put it here. >: (

Fun!
I don't have a problem with elitism, but I think that saying "those who aren't allowed to post here aren't considered Lit" is a bit harsh. I get the feeling that it's actually just the most advanced/experienced Lits who are given permissions for this forum. I haven't seen anyone on this forum who isn't at least teetering on the border between Semi-Lit and Lit.
I'd just like to clear that up before anyone's feelings are hurt. :)

Ever tactful,

Don't think that I don't have my own reservations about this section. Your concerns are valid. At the moment, only those I can personally vouch for as being Lit can post in this section (other than Shplane, since his role requires that he be able to access everything), but anyone who wants to post here simply has to show me that they're of that level of proficiency. I can't get a good enough indication of that from the posts we have so far.

If I haven't added someone to the Pens, it's not because I don't think they're up to snuff, but because I don't know whether they are or not. Yes, I've an enormous fear of coming off as being a high horse-straddling elitist scumbag, but I feel that this section is necessary, simply because I've seen the wonderful things that result when a bunch of Lit players get together and do a thread. I developed most of my RP skills by reading and participating in threads like those, so I know first hand that they're invaluable.

I'm of the opinion that a section like this is beneficial for everyone; less experienced players can read Lit RPs and pick things up, and more experienced players can work at their own pace - better threads are generally the result. If it ends up not working I'll delete it, but seven years' experience tells me that it's a good thing.

I don't mind the idea of a section for the RPs needing the heaviest talent. After reading just the INTRO to Survivalism though, I think I may be more than a bit out of my league, heh.
It's been about 15 years since Jurassic Park and I'm still readying my house for a raptor invasion.

Oh, I don't know, Lifon. In any RP, not just 'our league,' intro posts tend to be longer and more elaborate than any other in the roleplay (except for the 'finale,' which tends not to happen all that often since roleplays usually die before they end.)

I'm sure that if you put thought into a character, and introduce him/her in an original and interesting way, you'll find that you can more than keep up.
If you're still not confident in your ability, then you don't need to join the RP. Too many roleplayers causes a bit of confusion and chaos, no matter what their level of talent may be.

I've shown you my pretty writings. ;_;

Admittedly I haven't managed to quite convert them over to RP style stuff... But I think I'm getting there.

I plan to post in just NORMAL Mighty Pens for a while anyways, since I feel like I"ll be rusty as hell, but yeah.

Thanks mang, tho it won't help much really. I'm not a robot or anything.

Oh, and I also hold myself to an unreasonably high standard, and if anything I write looks even slightly under what I want it to be, I sort of give up and everything ends up sounding forced.
