an rp guide to making drafts more fun and less stressful

if you’re like me you tend to stockpile replies like you’re preparing for the apocalypse, and there are times when i look at that large number (across multiple blogs whoops) and wonder WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE I WILL NEVER DO ALL OF THESE.

BUT FEAR NOT. i have compiled a list of tips i’ve gathered over my 13+ years of rping that have made chugging out responses as stress free and fun as possible. take them or leave them, i hope you find some use in it!

       1. never ever EVER EVER give yourself a “due-date” DON’T DO IT. PLEASE DON’T. I MEAN IT. you can set a goal, that’s awesome. say, ‘hey! i want to get x amount of drafts done today’, but don’t ever tell yourself you HAVE to. this is a hobby, for FUN. when you go into your drafts with a due-date, you go into your drafts with initial stress and if you don’t meet your self-determined quota you’re going to feel bad and you should never feel bad when you write for fun. when you sit down to do drafts just tell yourself, i’m gonna work on these today and see where i get. as long as the only concrete goal you give yourself is to try, then you’re already on the right track!

       2. first thoughts, jot them down! when you go to draft your posts/like it/save it/whatever you do to keep track of your drafts, you should try to jot down a few “first thoughts” before you do so. this is just something i do personally, it’s always helped me out. when i get a reply from my partner, before i go to draft it, i make some bullet points where i would respond; my muses initial internal reaction, possible dialogue, and my muses initial external response. even if you come back to it a week later and take a gander at the reply in your drafts, you can gloss over what you wrote down to try and bring some inspiration back for the reply. you can change your mind, keep it the same, whatever. it just helps brings you back to how you first responded to the reply and spark some creativity.

       3. respond in the order you want to, not the order received this isn’t a job at the local diner, you don’t have to rotate drafts like FIFO (first in first out.) your reply isn’t going to ‘spoil’ the longer you have it in your drafts. if one draft jumps out at you more than the other, DO THAT ONE. your rp partner will (they should) understand muses can be fickle and you have preferences. when you force yourself to do a draft, it tends to come out less than stellar, or not like you wanted, and you’ll just frustrate yourself further.

       4. when you DO decide to sit down and write drafts, get comfy! listen to music? like white noise? need some generic background noise? put that shit on! even if you’re responding mobile in class (shame on you) or at home naked in your bedroom, try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. me? i prefer silence or soft ambient music in the privacy of my room, but that’s just a preference. i tend to write better when i feel the most comfortable. 

       5. TALK TO YOUR RP PARTNERS!!!! trust me i doubt they are going to mind if you head into their im/skype/inbox/whatever and ask questions you have as they come along. if there’s something in their reply you want clarified to help you in yours, ASK! even if there’s no question, i highly encourage you talk to who you’re writing with, especially for longer, more plotted threads; it’s no secret that you tend to write better with people you know/get along with. ask them to chat about their muse in that specific setting, maybe talk over a couple possibilities in the near future, get some inspiration just by chatting. i understand for some of us, talking with others we don’t know is a daunting task, but just try to remember we’re all here for the same reason; we want to write, and have fun, and be creative. the worst thing someone can say to you when you ask for feedback or input is ‘no’, and tbh if they say that then i think you’ve dodged a bullet lmfao

       6. PRAISE YOURSELF for the love of god don’t be ashamed to say HEY I DID ONE DRAFT TODAY GO ME. even if its one out of 100, you still DID IT and that’s AWESOME! the more you congratulate yourself and the more you believe in what you create, the easier creating more will be. 

       7. don’t be afraid to back out of some things this one is the hardest for me to follow, because i love everyone i write with and i tend to not want to let go of threads. but if there’s that one draft you constantly look at every time you try to get some done and it just makes you sad because you’re not sure, you’re never sure how to respond, maybe it’s time to move along. that feeling effects your overall mood and tends to make writing for other drafts more difficult. DO NOT FEEL BAD WHEN YOU DO THIS, DON’T YOU DARE. think of it more as…putting it aside for the time being. you can always revisit that particular plot/scenario at a later date, and your rp partner will understand. if they don’t, if they pressure you to keep a draft that only proceeds to upset you when you go into your drafts, you do not need to write with them. repeat after me, my lovely creative nuggets, you do not owe anyone anything. you don’t. i repeat, THIS IS FOR FUN. this is a hobby. you are not getting paid and unless your rp partner is paying you by the word, do not let them control what you reply to and when. 

       8. don’t be afraid to start NEW things don’t punish yourself. i see it all the time, people joke about having too many drafts and yet they do starter calls, reblogs memes, whathaveyou. THATS OK STOP FEELING BAD ABOUT IT! if you need some creative juices flowing, and your drafts don’t look appealing, then reblog that meme! ask for some starters! as long as you keep writing, inspiration will find you in time, i promise. 

       9. HAVE FUN. i’ve said it like 89745974 times but i cannot stress it enough. rping is for fun. it should always make you feel better, not worse. if it takes you two days to do 20 drafts, or two weeks to do 1, that’s ok. the more you worry about ‘losing followers’ or interest in your muse, the more stressed youre going to make yourself which in turn makes focusing harder which makes writing harder and then your drafts contiue to sit even longer. it’s a vicious cycle we all fall into sometimes, and that’s ok. just because you’re stressing about it doesn’t mean you’re terrible, we all do. just TRY to recognize the signs when you’re doing it, and pep yourself up. talk to someone. maybe just chat about your muse with a friend if you can. if you get drafts done by the end of the day, great! if you don’t, you don’t, and that’s ok too.

write up on polyamory & writing characters in polyamorous relationships in RP

so what is polyamory?

polyamory is the state of being in a romantic or sexual relationship with more than one person at the same time with all partners involved consenting and aware of the parameters of the polyamorous relationship

isn’t that just the same thing as a threesome / love triangle?

nope! polyamory differs because it’s a relationship. a threesome is purely sexual and often only happens once between those involved and love triangles don’t involve consent or sometimes even the knowledge of all parties involved and are largely considered unhealthy with how it can impact the parties involved.

polyamory thrives on two things: consent & awareness.

whereas a threesome is generally a one time thing, polyamory is a relationship involving consistency and commitment between more than one person.

polyamory isn’t just about sex. it’s about love and commitment as well for some if not all of those involved but there are many types of polyamory.

well then isn’t it basically polygamy?

polygamy is the marriage between one person and multiple partners. it’s a type of polyamory but does not always involve love between all parties involved and is usually politically related more than it is love and consent related. which is not to say polygamy can’t be consensual and loving the way polyamory in general is, it’s just to say the modern notion of polygamy is largely political.

TYPES OF POLYAMORY:

open relationships: in which two parties are in a relationship but it is open to the parties involved having other romantic relationships on the side / in addition to the one they are currently in

polygamy: closed relationship in which the parties involved are all married usually to one person

polycule: a complex inter-connected polyamory relationship

polyfidelity: all partners are primary to other partners within the group and sex is shared only among the group

eclectic relationship:  relationship in which members are of varying sexualities with diverse elements as to how they function in the group

group relationship: a committed, loving relationship involving multiple partners

inclusive relationship: a relationship in which all partners agree to include more lovers into their relationship

multipartner relationship: any relationship that is nonmonogomous

WRITING POLYAMOROUS CHARACTERS:

this is a tough one because a lot of roleplay settings involve only one on one interactions. a good way to roleplay polyamory is to have multiple verses set up in which certain character involved with relationships with your own take place in the same verse. it’s important that all characters involved are consenting to this relationship, understand it is not monogomous, and are okay with being in the relationship. this can involve as many people in a ship as you want. it can be as diverse as your character only loving one person but having multiple consenting sexual partners or as complex as loving multiple characters who also love your character / love certain characters in addition to. it’s up to you and what feels right for your character! 

polyamory is just as complex and diverse as your character(s) is / are, it’s okay to play around with group dynamics to see what is right with your character and polyamory.

just as much as it is important that the characters involved are consenting, the muns involved should be aware and consenting too. make sure you discuss it with your writing partners out of character as well to make sure they understand how it works and how it will play out in threads / writing.

ALWAYS REMEMBER:     CONSENT IS MANDATORY. CONSENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF EVERY POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP.
