Ok, so I'm not new RPing, but I am new to this site. I've RPed several other sites before and I've always been good at it, but a lot of the RPs here require us to post a certain number of paragraphs, which I can do, but I'm not used to. See, I'm used to only having to write out 4 or 5 sentences for a response and sometimes I get confused about who's posting at whom.
So I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what might be a good RP for me to start in on this site?
Thank you. I'd appreciate it.

I don't know of any roleplays to start you out, but once you're able to PM, you're more that welcome to send me one. We can do a PM roleplay to get you used to posting in paragraphs, if you would like?

Hey there and welcome to Gateway!

I just wanted to let you know that we have a dedicated team on Staff here, Mentors, that exists to help RPers get a feel for how to make their way around the site as well as how to write to ensure the best possible experience here on the site. I've moved this thread to the RolePlayAcademy, which is where the Mentors hang out and can help. Thanks!

@ Jag -- thanks. I knew there was a "Help" section somewhere in the forums, but this site can be mundo confusing to someone who's not used to it.

@ Sky Harper -- I can post in paragraphs if I HAVE to cause I'm an avid writer. I wrote a 50-chapter long X-Men fanfiction and I used to write novellas for fun in middle school. The thing is that on all the other sites I used, there either weren't any standards regarding post length or if there were certain standards we had to follow, they had all the RPs separated and categorized by those standards. So I'm not used to someone just saying, "You have to post at least 2 paragraphs. No questions."

Hi Ninjakitty,

Usually, things like minimum post length are up to the discretion of GMs for their individual games. The longer, multi-paragraph style is by no means exclusive here, but it is fairly prevalent. That said, there are plenty of games that don't institute minimums. Usually, a GM's expectation for post length is listed in the "Rules" section of their RP, but in the case that it isn't, a simple PM or question in the OOC will probably tell you.

Would you like assistance finding a roleplay that's in your area of interest without a post minimum? If so, I can help more if I know what sort of RP you're looking for. Feel free to send me a PM or respond here, and I'll do what I can. Otherwise, myself or other Mentors are usually around to answer other questions you might have.

Hopefully this helped a bit. If not, tell me why not and I'll give it another go.
