The character roleplayers who you contact and they just disappear after one-or-two messages, why put yourself out there if you're just gonna drop out without bothering to give a valid reason? At least "Hey, I'm not up for this," would be more polite.
it's not as easy as you think...
there's a big difference between roleplaying as yourself vs. a character from media.
you're tasked with staying in character while dealing with the expectations and needs of your "partner".
it's kind of hard for someone like cream the rabbit to be obsessed with anal while also retaining the innocence of a young girl.
there's also the fact that most newcomers start roleplaying only knowing a name and general information about their characters and roleplaying can quickly go from being a fun experience to a burden not many want to see through.
however, the roleplayer isn't always the one to blame for a failed RP.
Most of the times it's just a case of disinterest in what each person likes (remember, not everyone has the same likes as you do.)
or a lack of quick communication/patience that can result in a failed RP.
but occasionally roleplayers can run into...
"partners" who are either not involved enough in the scenario(prone to leave all decision making to the roleplayer.)
or
"partners" who feel the need to take control of the roleplay completely(tend to criticize the roleplayer without offering any advice or try to take all control of the RP/make decisions for the Roleplayer.)
when your partner is non-responsive or overly controlling it can turn a roleplayer off.
ultimately Roleplaying should in most cases be a symbiotic experience. the roleplayer is given new information to improve upon their skills and the partner is given the opportunity to interact with an otherwise non-existent(real world case only) character.
but hey, i just RP cause it's fun to get someone all worked up then blow hot sticky loads of fresh Alfredo sauce into their unexpecting backdoors. the hell would i know about Roleplaying anyways
