How did you discover/start role playing? What do you like/dislike about roleplaying?
My older brother introduced me to the idea, I suppose. When we were in elementary school, he made up this game where we played as kids who could transform into mythical creatures we called Dragon's Domain for reasons related to the plot. Gameplay was essentially us and a bunch of our friends would run around the field behind the school and pretend to fight enemies, but I enjoyed it. He also got me into reading, introducing me to series like Animorphs and Pendragon. Around the time I entered middle school, I decided I wanted to create stories like those myself, and started writing. Dragon's Domain died when I left elementary, but it was the seed for my love of RPGs, the craving for which I satisfied with things like Pokemon and Oblivion. I don't remember exactly how I discovered that online, text-based roleplaying was a thing, but I was quickly drawn to it as it combined two of my favorite things. I started on this one site that was actually more heavily structured than PC, but I found it difficult to keep up with the other writers and I looked for another place. After passing over one other site, I found PC's RPC (which I'd somehow missed when I lurked on PC before for ROM hacking). I liked it and so I stayed.
As for likes/dislikes, while I already enjoyed writing, the main reason I enjoy roleplaying so much more is as Ash_Ketchum123 said: It may not turn out what you wanted it to be, but it might be better. I love the unpredictability of these stories, which is thanks to all the different minds that come together to make it. What I dislike is how much time you need to devote to it, which why I think so many roleplays stagnate and die. Life happens, and people don't have time to roleplay anymore.
