Random RP Smut Rant
RP and Smut -- I haven't gotten to play much of it lately and those that I have started I lose interest in quickly. The problem often is if I already know how it will end I get bored quickly. Especially if my partner wants to work out the ending. I'm okay with vague but we can't work out emotional states until we're done unless you don't want me to tag anymore. I prefer starting something and not knowing just how it will end even if this means retcon in a game. Which is sad because I have a few that could turn into something but they're... sadly predictable for me. When I can predict the next five responses from the person i'm playing with... I might as well go back to fanfic.
I have some preferred kinks I want to play. They're all on the harder side of things. When I do find someone to play them with it usually gets dropped just when it gets good. I rarely pursue it and ask for tags after a week or two with no reply. Maybe I should but when it comes to my more extreme kinks I do not want to pressure anyone. So I lose a percentage of juicy threads to lost notifs. In that regard -- it's not my job to remind you. That's your ballpark. If you have a bad system for checking replies? I'm not babysitting our threads. The only time I announce tags is if we're going fast boomerang style and aim is open. Otherwise, no.
So, a lot of my problems are my own making but not without reason. If I'm bored with a smut thread I've learned it's not worth it to power through unless I know I'm playing with someone who will throw me a curve ball. I don't like constantly reminding people to tag something. I lose out on threads where things were actually forgotten about. Bottom line is -- if you're not that eager to play I don't want to keep going anyway.
It sucks for what I want to do. Sucks more that I somehow end up mentoring people with RPing BDSM stuff which is fun in itself but I don't see much of a return. I don't always like that I'm good at it because I get this empty nest thing when they leave. If I don't have someone I can teach or someone I can play off of regularly, I feel like I'm missing something. This, of course, sucks when I suddenly get the urge to play smut. I don't particularly like doing the 'who wants to smut' plurk. Not because I'm not interested in who replies but because I don't like to play favorites. Honestly, Yes, I do favor certain people because they are consistently fun but that's no reason to rub it in everyone's faces. Sometimes I just want one smut thread, not 20, so I have to choose. I like the people on my plurklist even if I don't want smut with every one. But this is a double edged sword because I also like to play with new people and sometimes that's the only way to get connected.
I sometimes adopt the policy of letting them come to me. It doesn't always get me what I want but it does ensure the threads last longer.
I'm hot or cold on smut memes. Sometimes there is one I like but I don't see any characters who've posted that I'm remotely interested in. Sometimes I get lucky, but not always. I've just given up on some memes just because even when I tag around I only get one or two replies, max. Once in a blue moon I'll get something that makes it 20 comments.
It does make me wonder if maybe I just suck at this. Then I'll have people who claim they stop because I'm such a good RPer. I'm sorry, even if you mean that, it's a load of BS. I. don't. care. I appreciate that you want to keep my interest or whatever but you can't keep my interest if you don't fucking reply.
so there, have a minor rant.
