Yeah, it's called roleplaying. We've got a separate section for that, but peoples are not posting there either . . . *growls*
If you would like to start one, just go back to the main page, look for the header that says "Roleplay" (it ought to be in the middle, under "General") and then click it, then there should be a long thread list, but at the top, in a banner, (I think) there's a button that says "start new thread". And that's how you begin.
We usually start with a fun beginning piece, just to get the hang of it, then fine-tune characters.
I hope that makes sense.
I can't start one right now, becuase I have a paper due tomorrow . . . *clears throat* . . . and I'm procrastinating. As usual.

This particular thread is for posting snippets of stories, and getting feedback/editing/confidence boosters for it.
(It would be fun . . . IF PEOPLE POSTED.)
so, I don't know if you write fantasy or whatever, but yeah.

The best way to get the gist of how we do r-plays in this place, Ty, is to get the basics (preferably from someone like Madzid who actually knows what she's talking about) and then go and read the first page or so of one of them so you know how posts tend to go.
Hm...info you might need:
Power play- characters belong to their respective creators. For example, Xellas (R-play?...) is Maddie's, Llatahtsi (R-play power play allowed) is Fafimbaki's, Rain (R-play power play allowed) and Keeper (R-play?...) are Beth's (Beth needs to update Keeper when she gets some spare time back). Power play is the term for when one writer interferes with another writer's character. The general rule on most of the r-plays is that power play is NOT allowed. Meaning you can't even so much as write "she said..." about someone else's character. This is convient when making sure all the characters are unique and don't have the same voice, but it also means that writing conversations between characters that belong to two or more writers is sometimes a very long process (see the beginning pages of R-play?... for an example of this if you think that'll help clarify things). The one exception to the "no power play" policy is the r-play called R-play(power play allowed).
Terms- OOC= out of character; used when a writer wishes to indicated that they are not writing as their r-play character IC= in character; pretty obvious
Hmm...Madzid, did I forget anything?

You posted it in "Scribbles" and, I believe I clarified this on another thread yesterday while posting, but this is Jo. I should be under the username RiverDaughter, but my computer doesn't like to let me log in or recognize that I'm logged in, so this is the only way for me to post. It's also the reason that my "Name" on the posts say "Locked Out".

*grin*
Yeah, power play is USUALLY not allowed, and I kind of figured that would be the way to go, BUT . . . these bozos freaked out and reblled and it really was rather funny . . . so now there's one thread where NO POWER PLAY and another where its allowed.
I already asked this on another board, but, I think we ought to start a new one. VAMPIRES. I've done 2 or 3 vampire ones already, so I have a character made up. Yeah, he's similiar to Xellas, but I'm working on that. So . . . vampire yes? please?

Ok, sorry, I had forgotten about this thread for some reason!
I have a little story in my head that I'll write right now for you:
My life as a ping-pong ball was a very painful one indeed I don't know what I did wrong, but they kept spanking me! One day they knocked me out the window and I fell into the lawn, Where I sat, and sat, and sat for days in the rain and sun. The neighbor's dog came later and we played, he was a gentle friend, And he took me to his home so our friendship would never end. Sadly, that was not to be, since he left me in the grass And his owner was a trim man, and he loved to cut the grass
