OOC: Yeah, I know, belongs on the GB, but it's an RP question, really.

Am I the only one who returns to specific posts in a roleplay (either SRP or ORP) and just chortle to myself, gloating over my sheer genius and positively wonderful wonderfulness?

Okay, question two, am I the only arrogant S/DOB who'll admit to it?

 

[Vivid]

I do it too, but I'd never admit it. Doh!!

 

[Ravenloft]

Gloaty pants! Gloaty pants!

...Thats sounds like some sort of horrid bowel problem to me acutally... Ick...

 

[Angelus]

Ewwww.... that does sound like a bad bowel problem to me, you should get that seen to.

But yeah, I am guilty of doing that with the posts myself.

 

[Isolde]

*sighs* Okay! I admit it. There are some posts that I do that I am really proud of and I tend to gloat a bit about them.

 

[Renegade]

Yep! Have been guilty of doing that myself. Usualy it's with my longer posts where I tried to do something that I had in mind and it came out good. Dear lord, I'm so full of myself at times. lol

You know, even after years of work, Michaelangelo still considered all of his art nothing more than pieces of crap. That's how I see my posts, I don't like them. There is a message, a specific one I am trying to show everyone, and the only way to do it is with words... that forum already bastardizes the idea I wanted to share.
I don't want to be ignorant to anyone else here, but my personal opinion here is everything I create is crap, that's why I am here... for practice. If I was really any good at this, I would probably already be a millionaire, but I'm not... just a kid in college going onto an adult website at one in the morning writing stories with friends.
I go back to other peoples posts and see them from time to time, but never my own, except my first one. I went back to that once... and almost had a heart attack. It was worse than Pauly Shore's sitcom.
Just a Pooh's opinion.

 

[Vivid]

Oftentimes when I'm writing a post I won't be able to appreciate the humor or the erotic nature of it until I go back and read it in the context of the other posts around it. Then I can laugh or... ummm...any other emotional response, as appropriate. ::sheepish grin::

 

[Miguelito Breathstealer]

What ever could you mean? *blink*blink*

I am completely humble about everything I do, no matter how great or wonderful. Some might even say I am humble to a fault. And lets face it, I have a lot of great things to be humble about.

 

[Ravenloft]

What I like is when I can play off of my fellow poster's posts. Thats what I derive my pleasure from.

 

[Neale]

Even this one...

I agree with poohlive. While there are stinkier piles on the boards, I still see my work as, oftentimes, crap. I know I have some technical writing skill, but the spark I see so often in the better posters' work is invisible to me in my own. Still, I'll keep on practicing!

 

[Renegade]

Pooh and Neale have a point.

I've always said that often times an RPers worst critic is themselfs. For every post that I'm proud of(and there are a few)there are atleast twice as many that I regret turned out the way they did. I read a lot of my old posts from time to time, but I do spend more time reading others.
