Let's Talk About... Roleplay

[Suz_anne]

I think this will put me firmly in the "If you have to ask, then you have not" camp...but I have a question.

Some of what has been described sounds like dirty talk/sexting type stuff. So is that considered to be RP or are we talking about actual "I'm the park ranger and you're a sexy squirrel" kind of stuff?

Good question

I guess it really depends on the person. For me it's long scenes, with some build up. For someone else it might be sexting, or a hot email or message from time to time.

But for me it has to have a touch or realism. No sexy squirrel.

I am more into scenarios than role plays, though I have done RPs; the trick is to know when it’s time to wrap up. More than anything, I have been more into good convo, usually pretty simple to start and then building into something yum. I am still aghast at the thought that someone has to do sonnets or a treatise to get more convo with some folks. Anyone who puts rules of engagement in more than two sentences will usually put me off. One-sentence PMs have been great starting points

so wait...can I be the lumberjack?

Yes.

Absolutely. Let's see that ax swing.

WOO HOO!!

Hush, you. Stand there and do what you're told.

Absolutely. Let's see that ax swing.

That's what I'm talking about.

Do you do it?
Yep I do it - it seems to be an off and on thing though. I haven't found anyone really consistent but I'd like to. Usually they say they want build-up which I'm fine with but then I guess they just either leave or get a better offer <shrug>

Do you like the person with whom you're communicating to do it?
Of course I'd have to like or at least have a rapport with someone if I'm going to RP.

When is it appropriate?
It's appropriate all of the time if you're both into it


Is it context/subject/person dependent?
Hmmm - not really. I think I have a good imagination

How much is too much?
When the constant fantasy interferes with your reality in a negative way

Have your feelings about RP during conversation changed over time? And if so, how?
From a RP - hmmm- I don't think so. But there are a few women that I've chatted with on here that I'd go to for friendly advice, support, and would spend hours showing my appreciation

I actually think this is a great question. My official answer is 'I don't do RP,' because i think of it as an actual, intentional writing project, vs. something spontaneous and flexible and open-ended. But clearly I do, and I could totally pull off a sexy squirrel for the right park ranger.

I like my RP light and fun and not too serious. It's a game - maybe foreplay, maybe not. But I don't like to RP actual sex. Just, no. I'd rather have an actual conversation about it. I have in the past, and that's how I learned that I dont prefer it. It gets to feeling like some out-of-body experience that I'm watching on the telly. Boring. Zzz zzz

Not on the SRP boards, or during roleplaying games, but within exchanges such as texts, emails, PMs, message board posts, etc.

ETA: What is your goal with RP? Do you see it as purely an exercise in creative writing? Are you trying to get you/your partner off? Is it just a bit of wordy fun?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions with us!

Yes, I love it. It is one of the reasons that I am here.

If both parties say they are interested then maybe straight away or after a bit of chatting.

All are very important. You need a connection with the person and the scene, no point trying if you don't 'feel it'.

Some scenes can be very long but for me that is the fun part so it can take a lot of messages to develop.

It is something I have developed more of an interest in since I joined this site.

The goal is joint. I have found each one so far exciting, hopefully the other participant has too. But it's also fun just to let the mind wander and push boundaries

The idea of roleplaying has been intriguing to me, and I've tried it a few times in the past. I'm admittedly not a very good writer, and slow when I am writing, so I've committed my share of disappointment to where I just don't want to attempt it again. I do like reading through the roleplay threads, and appreciate those who can do it so naturally and are willing to share with others.

I think maybe..

You might need a better partner.
