[TRUST Mule]

Hello all! This thread is now open again! The lists were cleared so though there aren't many on the current list, they are all active. There is new management but the thread will stay identical (after all, it was perfect already!) Thank you to everyone who helped conceive and maintain this thread in the past. I hope I can do justice by your amazing work!

Please Note: This is NOT a personal search thread.

The aim of this thread is to help prospective roleplayers find roleplay threads or partners and vice versa.

Please feel free to chat in the thread and help keep it alive! The more the merrier! Please don't be intimidated if the thread is busy, anyone and everyone is welcome to join us - just dive into the conversation or start your own! We love newcomers! <3

As an absolute minimum you MUST read the Important Information post on this page (post 2) BEFORE even thinking about submitting a form. If you don't, it will be VERY obvious and you will more than likely have one or more people yell at you to go back and read the first page so you might as well get it over with now. I am not responsible if you get yelled at.

Some little things you can do to help us out:
Give this thread a <3
Take our feedback survey
Vote in the visitor count poll
Spread the word with a banner or button
Give your feedback! Suggestions and ideas are always welcome!
Give us kudo's at the Minishops & Resource Center (info on how to is listed in our feedback post)

Latest News and Announcements!
3rd March '16 - I'm planning a summer event! Details and dates TBD, if you'd like to help drop me a line!
22nd Nov '15 - The thread is now run by xx I met my fate xx. Please send a PM there or to this account if you're interested in helping out!

[TRUST Mule]

Following requests from thread users, the following have been collected here for your convenience. You MUST read at least to the orange divider. As previously mentioned, if you don't it will be obvious and you will more than likely be yelled at.

Filling out the form


✼ Post the forms in the thread or PM them to the mule, up to you!
✼ Do not edit the formatting of the form.
✼ There are three compulsory parts of the form:

• Username
• Literacy level
• Preferred pairings/groups
✼ Anything else in the form is optional.
✼ Literacy Level

Due to many different impressions of literacy level, we have created our own list. Use these definitions.
Please choose the one you fit most or fit most of the time, if you are in more than one.

• Semi-literate ▬ Able to write in sentences and use "these" for speech and 'these' for thought. Some punctuation used.
• Literate ▬ Able to spell accurately 95% of the time and use puncuation such as commas. Able to form detailed posts and help move the plot along. Able to double.
• Advanced Literate ▬ Near flawless spelling and grammar, consistently using good writing style (variety of sentence types, writing techniques, character thoughts etc. Consistently able to creatively move the the story along, including plot twists and unexpected outcomes. Able to include several secondary characters.
• Elite ▬ Novel style writing with extensive descriptions, detailed exploration of character thoughts, feelings and motivations. Able to include multiple, detailed characters and interact each in different ways with other characters.
✼ Because length of posts is not included in the literacy level, they have their own section in the form. You can describe this however you wish.
✼ Pairings

This is listed in the "my roleplay preferences are" section.
You are organized by this so this part is not shown, so do not add comments to this section.
List any of the following types you fall under in your form to be listed under that in the directory.

• MvM ▬ you play a male opposite a male
• FvM ▬ you play a female opposite a male
• MvF ▬ you play a male opposite a female
• FvF ▬ you play a female opposite a female
• Group ▬ you participate in group roleplays

Although you've now read the absolutely crucial information, the rest of the thread isn't just here for fun. If you can, please do take the time to read the rest as you will find other parts useful too!

Remember to subscribe to this thread and check back often! New roleplays and roleplayers being added all the time!

If you are using the thread to find someone for a roleplay/a group roleplay but aren't planning to submit a form, please do still drop us a post to help support the thread! Every little helps!

If you're submitting a form for a roleplay that is owned by someone else, please check with them beforehand!

Please do advertise the thread with a banner or button in your roleplay or sig - after all, advertising the thread is advertising yourself, and the more people use the thread the more benefit everyone will get from it!

We reserve the right to edit your form. This will usually be to fix any dodgy formatting and keep everything looking neat and tidy but may extend to adjusting the content (this would normally only be if bad language is used).

Since you're being awesome and reading everything instead of skimming the stuff in red, post the name of your favourite book when posting your form/posting for the first time and I'll tip you for taking the time to read this =)

We also reserve the right to remove your form from the directory if your account or roleplay has been inactive for an extended length of time. Due to the number of listings we deal with we will not be able to inform you of this, however if you check in and notice you've been removed and you wish to be re-listed just ask and we'll be happy to help. Please don't take offense if you have been removed, it's simply done to keep all listings as useful as possible to searchers!

Finally - let us know your success stories or feedback! It's always nice to hear the thread is actually helping people! You never know you might end up getting quoted on the front page!

Note: I reserve the right to refuse to add anyone to the listings if I feel their attitude to myself or anyone helping in the thread is unacceptable. This is a free service that I am running entirely on a voluntary basis. I will not accept abuse.

Index

These are some links to help you get around the thread. I am aware that these don't cover every post on the front page. It's like that for a reason.

• Links in - buttons and banners you can use to link to this thread and spread the word!
  
• Staff - a chance to find out a little bit more about the people that make the magic happen!
  
• Feedback - skeptical about how well this could work? Take a look at what others have said about the thread and the results they got from it!
  
• Affiliates - threads we think are definitely worth your time and visits!
  
• Competitions - fun things and ways to get involved with the thread!

Note: one small request to all who use this thread. If you contact someone (or a roleplay) with a profile on this thread and receive an answer that they are no longer looking please let me know so I can remove it. Likewise if you put up a profile please let me know when you no longer need it to be there!

If you want to apply the relevant forms are here

There are 6 different pages that categorize the different types of roleplay and roleplayers that have applied to the thread. Within each of those pages are different posts to split the category further, based on literacy level. When looking at the literacy level you require I suggest also looking at the group above and below, as many roleplays and roleplayers have a range of more than just one literacy level! The questions below will help you get where you need to be!

...

.....semi-lit...........semi-lit.......semi-lit................semi-lit................semi-lit.............................semi-lit

.....literate............literate........literate.................literate................literate..............................literate

.....adv-lit..............adv-lit........adv-lit..................adv-lit.................adv-lit...............................adv-lit

Before reading any further into this post, please ensure you have read the 'Important Information' post further up the thread. Several notes have been removed from this post and placed there, and it's crucial you read them if you want to get your form right first time and avoid being yelled at!

If you wish to appear on the thread you need to fill out one of the following forms. The first is for if you are a roleplayer the second is if you want your group thread to be listed. Please please please don't edit the form itself, just change the parts in the square brackets for your information! When you've completed the form post it in thread and you'll be added to the directory as soon as possible.

NB: If you apply to this thread and a week down the line find you have joined as many roleplays as you were looking for please do post and let us know so we can take your profile down! If you wish to be re-listed again in future just let us know again =)

To win any competition the 'winner' must have posted at least 5 times in the thread before participating.

Writing Contest:
To enter, all you have to do is write and post a 500 word (max) introductory post to a roleplay with 'Competition Entry' written in big blue letters across the top of your post. Ideally this should be for a new plot you really want to do but can't find a partner for (you never know that might change by the end of this competition!). The competition opens on 23/11/15 at 1pm (gmt) and closes at midnight (gmt) on 28/11/15, so you have 5 days to enter and work on your entry. You can edit your entry as much as you like up until the closing time at which point I'll copy them all to my computer for judging.

Even if you don't want to enter, there are still prizes up for grabs! The best advice/tips given to entrants will prizes too!

An entry can win in more than one category, but obviously isn't likely to win in all of them - don't try to warp your idea to fit more categories as it will just detract from your original idea! Remember to stick to the rules or you will be disqualified and receive nothing!

There are a number of different things I'll be judging on with prizes up for grabs for the winner in each area (see further down for specifics!). Every entrant will win some kind of prize but remember this is at my discretion.

Rules:
500 words max
One entry per person
No mule accounts
No plagiarism (aka copying ANYONE, either directly or indirectly)
You may edit your entry up until the closing date of 28/11/15
Only ONE character per entry. Obviously you can refer to other characters but you can only control one, just like in a basic roleplay.
Characters must be original - I'm not handing out prizes because you can puppet someone elses idea!

Prize Categories:
Most creative setting
Most descriptive intro
Most loveable character
Most developed character
Most original story
Best cliffhanger
Funniest moment
Most inspiring (makes us want to write a reply back)
Most improved (those giving advice please PM me nominations for these!)
Best improvement advice (entrants please PM Blue any suggestions for this prize from people who have made suggestions for your entry!)

Entries:
None yet

Some random facts and info about me: I grew up in the UK until I was 11. I have been married for almost three years and have a four year old son. I have been on Gaia since 2003 and enjoy most areas of the site immensely. When I'm not on Gaia I'm at work, with family, or playing video games (Currently Fallout 4). And last but not least I got this job by emailing Blobby and I'm very excited to take on a thread that has helped me so much in the past!

Some random facts and info about me: I'm a second year business degree student hoping to do a year's placement in America in the near future. I have three half-brothers, and a step brother but no full siblings. There are twenty-three years between my oldest and youngest brother, although they're not related to each other at all. I did actually have blue hair for around four months five years ago. I had to change it because I went on holiday and apparently it might have offended locals. I also had fire-engine red hair which turned out neon pink for 3 months at the end of 2012! I'm totally unathletic but I enjoy sports like snowboarding and rockclimbing. I've abseiled about fifty meters from a bridge to raise money for charity. I like cooking and baking, although I'm not always great at it. I adore books. My favourite thing in the whole world is hugs.

Some random facts and info about me: I haven't used spell check for roleplays in about four years; at this point it's just annoying to use because it always underlines my character names. My nickname is Sony because my dad is a programming engineer working for Sony Online Entertainment in San Diego. You'd never guess it, but I dropped out of high school. My life dream is to become a published bestselling author of light fantasy crime novels - 'light fantasy' in the sense that it's realism, just with vampires and demons and Jedi mind powers.

Dear Lord, I need to say that you all are amazing.
I am almost positive, all the RP requests I've been getting have been because of you. So much so that I have so many RP requests that I'm overflowing with.
I'll have to PM you guys to tell you to take me down, I'm literally filled to the brim, and all my cravings are cured!

Just wanted to try to thank you in perosn TRST for taking the time to set up The Roleplay Search Thread. I've been busy with life lately and in my absence all my old Roleplay's have seemed to have died on me. Just finding this thead has helped out a lot.

So anyway just wanted to say thanks!

Yaknow, I keep seeing those testimonials on the first page. . . . and I have the urge to write one for myself. So here we go.

Before being invited to THE Roleplay Search Thread, my role play life was completely different. User interaction in my role plays wasn't all that great, performance was terrible, and it was so hard finding a person to play a pimp to my prostitute! With this search thread, now my role play experience is complete, and I have so many role plays, I have to pick and choose which ones to post for! It's as if Mister Role Play went and had a complete makeover! Now he's committed to fulfilled my every day Role Play needs. Thank you search thread. Thank you V__V

. . . . .
I dunno why, I just figured my testimonial should sound somewhat like a performance enhancing drug infomercial >.>

These are lovely peoples that deserve lots of love and visits to their threads! Go on clickie!
