The Confessional

[FuckFantasy]

I confess I NO LONGER GIVE A FUCK.

ICT, After all these years, it still amazes me how good fortune can come in the most odd trappings.

I confess to being mystified with the degree of blatant godmodding in some threads in SRP here. I don't usually get to read a quarter as much as I wish I could, but I tried this morning, only to give up because threads that were written by players that could write and write well, were ruined by each writing the others words and actions before the creator of each character had posted it.

Ok, I know some don't mind, be it as a writer or as a reader., and I know some only do it with the consent of the other partners.....but -and this is my view, and I'm not alone- it's NOT roleplaying.
Roleplaying is taking on a role, developing it, and in that story, being that character. It's not about sharing roles with a partner. When I see a writer writing their character into one situation, and then read on to see the partner take that character and use it by writing its part to suite themselves, it makes my blood boil.
In one play I tried to read this morning, the girl was on the bed, hands tied, simply laying waiting for her 'husband'....By the time her partner was done with his post, there was little or nothing for her to write, because he'd written the entire scene himself; from joining her in bed, changing her position which is fine, but not writing her reactions to her moans and groans, how she cried out , how her body reacted etc.
His character had his fun, so did the male writer in writing it no doubt, while there was little for his partner to write but a short post merely confirming all he'd wrote at length. Complete killer of a story.

Oh and yes, I'm not a morning person. Seeing things like this I don't care about later in the day...first thing in the morning however it makes me want to bitch about lack of manners, rules or lack of, implementation, and common courtesy.

Alana, I am 100% with you on that, and I don't continue reading whenever I see it. I enjoy seein how two people blend, mingle, intertwine etc. their personalities, world views, kinks, or whatever other internal or external influences come into play. To me it's a psychological mind fuck, if you get my analogy. It's two minds, in the absence of body, joining together in a consenting relationship for mutual stimulation in at least some sense. The godmoding just ruins that.

I enjoy the fact the I can take my sexuality, express it wining the confines o a predetermined storyline, and then have my cowriter move or countermove in whatever graceful way they enjoy.

The only poking where I thinking might deviate from you position is that when two consenting people write together to their mutual satisfAction, I don't really care. I tend to take the attitude that, " oh well, no ody is forcing me to read it."

I'm glad that I have the freedom to write my way, just as they have the freedom to write their way.

the solution I've found to this, is subscribing to and looking for other threads of people whose writing I find myself enjoying andsticking to them. It's one reasonINg really like how some folks list the threads their in, in their signatures

Anyhow, that's my un-asked-for opinion.

Death to godmode!

 

[Stephanie4play]

Oh shit, I forgot to confess....ICT I'm horny as hell and my Tapioca Man doesn't want to wake up!

ICT as soon as I am done here I'm going to snuggle up next to
him and touch myself until I cum and if he doesn't wake up I'm making breakfast for one today!

I confess, I wish I had a thread response to get my head there...

 

[dirtymindedfun1]

ICT that I can't ignore a damsel in distress.

 

[sallythescorpian]

ICT..... I am bored!!!

I have tons of stuff to do, and zero motivation to go do it!!

I personally think if you do not like that sort of thing then simply stop reading as to be honest it is not our business to dictate how others handle their writing.

From a personal perspective I would, I do, find it very frustrating. To have a fairly clear concept of where a series of posts are headed, in my case unless I am blocked for some reason this means my mind had already half written my response , sometimes it even comes in the middle of my sleep.

I rush to put pen to paper to find it is all for naught.

My partner either clearly did not even read my prior post or totally disregarded it, moving my character actions and responses in his own unilateral translation of events.

It makes me ball my fists in total frustration.

The odd occasion this happens I immediately address my co-writer and the problem is usually solved.

Once in awhile I allow it to go on and simply adapt, trying to insert my will into each piece the best way that I can. I would only do this for a very very special person for reasons I will keep to myself. This type of writing presents a very special challenge all in of itself, I am in the middle of such a thread as I write...

Replying to this has helped me clear my head quite a lot , thank you very much ladies,


I confess I have nothing I publicly wish to confess today except that I am still behind with my threads

Firstly, I confess to speaking on my own behalf, I did stop reading as I said in my first sentence. Just couldn't be bothered continuing.

And while it's not our business, I think if it's on the open forum, open to views, then its open to being discussed whether liked or not.

And as for the personal perspective of being stuck with a partner that does it, you're more patient than I, for the simple reason I state it clearly in my OOC and on my sigline which is linked to the OOC.., also have a litany of threads that I've pulled from because of such writing, where I tried and tried to be polite and persistent in my asking NOT to control my girls actions/words, etc. But it didn't work in most cases, so I ended up apologizing for wanting to leave the thread, and took the burden of blame on myself..
Now, I no longer do that. I have a standard, it's not brain surgery nor rocket science to do, but I have a standard, and stick rigidly to it, and am fortunate that the guys that I write with excel in either feeling the same way as I do, or do their level best to understand and put into practice.
I'm a very giving partner I think, as I respect my partners, their talents, and would never take from them control of their words. Therefor I simply won't keep asking as I used to. I now simply and politely make it clear by inviting prospective partners to read my first OOC post thoroughly, and if it happens, I'm simply out.

I won't upset myself, or lose enjoyment of my writing here by the frustration of finding a post waiting for me, having looked forward to it, only to find the life sucked out of a story by reading what a partner has to say on behalf of my girl, without my input. Total no no.

And yes, for one that doesn't want to be upset by finding it in a thread I'm in, even reading about it, or debating on it, totally pisses me off, as can be indicated by my ramble.

While I'm sorry if I sound cranky about the subject, it's only because I care so much about the happiness of my partners, and myself in a story and our story., in that neither of us will dread reading a post and finding our characters wrote into a situation neither of us would ever dream of writing our creations into ourselves.

This has nothing to do with communication between partners via pm btw. I would never consent to my girl being controlled by anyone other than me via pm, or otherwise. A good talented partner can progress their part of play from their perspective without having to do more than guide a partners character along with no reference to their reactions or actions.

I am however not sorry for having an opinion on something that is practiced on too many threads here unfortunately, nor my standing by it. There is no excuse for it. In my view it's lazy, and an easy way of controlling what interests a selfish partner, who has no interest in taking care of a partners interests, likes or dislikes.

I would love to read more when the time allows..; love to read outside the few trusted members I interact with and I know don't goddmod, but it's hard to know where to start, where to look, what threads do or don't support it, as there are no indication to guide towards such threads, or in cases like myself, steer one away from.

 

[Stephanie4play]

Yep, it's a public forum. I agree just as well with your right to express opinion on it personally. And I think it is a very interesting subject. It cuts right at the heart of why different people are here in the first place.

I hope nothing I said implied I didn't think you should express your opinion Alana. I thought it was well thought out and interesting, even if I wasn't 100% on the same page.

I'm glad you mentioned it in a context that didn't finger point and spawned fruitful discussion, IMHO.

 

[Stephanie4play]

I confess, I hate how bad my text gets goofed up when I type fast on my phone and post sentences that are hard to interpret.

I hate it...but it happens anyway.

 

[yeishia]

I too never meant to imply that your were not entitled to your opinion or to your interpretation of what I actually wrote.

As of course am I entitled to mine.

I confess, I think you are an angel sent to earth to make me appreciate how beautiful submission RP can be.

I'm just sayin'.

ICT I feel exceedingly fortunate to have found the writing partners I have
IACT I feel like I'm testing their patience at the moment but I am trying to get posts written...honestly I am...

flutters eyelashes beseechingly at said partners

ICT I direly need a new thread, with constant posting, something I can lose myself in

IFCT it amuses me when my exes start asking questions about my life and then get offended when I answer them...

ICT yay on the snugglings because I need them so, but can we watch movies where things go boom?

ICT I'm spending way too much time trying to figure out if I can call in sick tomorrow and exactly how I'd spend the day

 

[madhukar]

I confess to that I am addicted to the discussion board at the expense of other things that have to happen. Sneeking the ipad to the bathroom and completing my side of the bargain.

I confess that I envy the creative and the style of many of my RP partners. I just got out of my writing puberty and hope that I will be as good as them when I get my RP adulthood.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

ICT I am mentally exhausted and trying to find the words to respond to my Boy Toy. I don't want to.

IFCT I am in serious need of a nap but would settle for a shot of Stoli with a nice girl...
