Totally not challenging Ice's thread monopoly here

So, different aspects and types of roleplaying attract different people. When you sign up for an RP, what kinds of attributes do you look for?

Literally the only things I look for are "This sounds really fun" and "I can see myself writing for this."

I think it really depends for me, but mostly just if it looks fun. That being said, I also make sure to look for quality when it comes to the RP as well, at least in the first post. The more effort the GM tends to put into it in the beginning the more likely it will last longer it seems.

The rating, if I can figure up a general idea for a character once I finish reading it, and if it's not pokemon. Can't do Pokemon rps.

If I have a character idea once I've read the OP, I'll probably join. If not, then too bad, I don't. I'm not the type to really think about a character idea for too long, so if I don't have an idea, I don't bother signing up. I'll have to force a character concept out, which makes it less fun to play.

If there is too much original lore or a too fantasy-ish world, I might actually be deterred from joining. I'm better with universes I know well, or the real world, I think.

What I do enjoy seeing is well thought out plot that sounds like my character can be an important part and get to interact in fun ways with others. Super powers is always attracting me haha. And digimon 8)

Used to join any pokémon journey RP that popped up haha, but lately... I haven't been feeling the journey vibe ;; that's sad. I want to get my journey gears going again, hmm.
