Jack’s Tips for Pleasant RP

Nothing takes me out of the mood of an RP more than poor technique. So here’s a short guide to writing fantastic RP posts and being the talk of the town!

-Write in complete sentences.

-Write in third-person, novel style.

-Do NOT use asterisks to denote actions. This goes with the above tip.

-Always use quotation marks when someone is talking.

-Don’t give one sentence replies. That’s like texting someone “k”. It kills the momentum of the conversation.

-Don’t only reply in words. Give an action, even if it’s a subtle motion like someone blushing or showing a certain facial expression. A good RP cannot run on words alone.

-Do not write it like it were a script.

-Check your posts for grammar and spelling.
