@Dreampipe goddamnit, calling me out over there.

@hellfrog not with that attitude.

See, Norwood had plenty of people interested! Fucking can happen at ANY age!
Edit: I feel slightly dirty writing this.
-
There was even a book series about it.

I completely forgot about the books.

Gently steering this back on track
What do you do in your MU RP to make it fun for other people?
-
Most of what I try to do has already been said by better RPers than me, but maybe slightly different is I try to be the one who comes up with the scene premise. I think (hope?) it’s fun to be able to run with something but the “thinking up” part might be more difficult. Obviously no one is the one who does it every time, but I did shoot for at least usually having a concrete idea in mind, even if a scene ended up being something my partner suggested instead.

@junipersky I literally made Aureth 5’9" and he was 37 when we started and going a lil prematurely gray because I liked posing about his hair. He got… so much ass. Lmao. I can’t remember how old he was when the game ended but he was still doing just fine.
Edit: I looked it up, he was 50.

Making your RP fun for other people for me is all about reading other people’s poses, responding to what’s actually there and riffing on it. RP chemistry develops from the way you can bounce off the other player so I always want to be both reactive and proactive in terms of giving my partner something to react to. Also my sense of humor is dumb and it is everywhere.

I also think it’s important if it hasn’t been said, that YOU are having fun in the scene too. While it’s great to run things for other people, if it feels like work, you aren’t enjoying it. That’s going to come across in the writing dynamic. If you are also having fun and they are having fun, then we have chef kiss magic.
