Part one: Creating the basic idea for the story participants
Ok, well thanks again Carlee for choosing me to help you out, I promise I won't let you down :).
Now then, you have opted for what I like to call an interactive method of learning, where we will RP, have instructional posts, and share pointers and tips.
The first thing we need to do, which will also help you with one key part of using detail in Role Play, is figure out what the story should consist of as far as key plot points or basic ideas, and what sorts of characters would be involved. For example, because you have shared with me that you like doing realistic genres with romantic sub-genres, and that you would like to start using more fictional styles; we could try out doing something fairly simple like vampirism or even fairies/pixies, etc., assuming were to go with fairies/pixies, we could say that the story would being where these the two main characters are living in a city ruled by a fairy/pixie king who has gone rogue and wants to take all of the magic of their race for himself. The two characters would meet at a gathering of people that are trying to find a way to overthrow the king and his minions and end up getting paired together as a team, through their adventures, battles, and experiences, they grow close to each other and eventually develop feelings, but they start out as mutual friends, making fun of each other's differences constantly and bickering like brothers and sisters.
That is just an example, but it doesn't mean you can't use it as a story line or anything else. Now, as you can see it's basically a bulleted list but with full sentences instead of bullets; it's also detailed enough to get the plot across, but not overly done. When developing an idea, it's best to leave the precision detail out, because ideas are always up for debate and development. Save the precision for the characters and story.
Alright, have at it Carlee. I am sure you've got a few good ideas in there about something you would like to write about as a basis of your development in using detail :D
