Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~Edgar Allen Poe

This is a "game" of sorts in which we all add to a list of things that point to us being addicted to roleplaying. It's sort of like the thread in the writer's forum called "You know you're a writer when..." Let's try to keep the list in numerical order. I'll start the list off with a couple of things.

1. You know you're a roleplayer when you find yourself narrating things you do in story format.
2. You find yourself using script format roleplaying when talking to your friends on messenger. Ie. you say *sticks middle finger up* instead of simply saying "******** you".
3. You find yourself doing things your characters would do.
As Winter's ice brushed the trees,
Fall gave way,
let the earth freeze.

4. You wake up in the middle of the night and reedit your post because you had a better idea in your sleep.

5. In high school you carried notebooks to lunch to continue the RP you and your friends had going.

6. You spend an hour on the computer, doing nothing, hoping that someone will reply in your RP.

8. (I think thats the number we're on now lol) You start using terms like 'Mary-sue' in front of people like your parents who, having no clue what it means, stare at you like you just dribbled down your shirt. >.<

Many of these also point to being a writer. And now for my random advertising: If you ARE a writer, go check out the guild Beyond the Hourglass A Writer's Haven.

misswho: Yes, it's number 8. Thanks for keeping the numbers straight. ^_^

9. You find your explain RPing to your friends, family and strangers, hoping to recruit them into your dying rps.

9. Your RP characters are 'real' companions, and you can tell tales of them in the same context you tell stories of your real life.

Gods, I am so guilty of this . . . and so much number 6. sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop

11. You have more than four characters in a single roleplay, all of them original and none overlap.

I think we're ALL guilty of number 6.
PostPosted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 8:00 pm


I definitely do number six and 9....Definitely nine. Speaking of that, you guys should check out the new rp Shadows Fall. Posting for it just started but it still has open slots. Lots of them. Hehe

12. You take your roleplay characters, vary them slightly, then place them into several different roleplays to see which version is better.
