~Mentor Request~

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby mummydove on Wed Aug 08, 2012 1:59 pm

Hello.

I would like to improve my writing, add more description to my post, and lengthen my post. I want to do all this so I can be considered at least literate and or advanced. Oh and to get rid my habit of writing somewhat run-on/long sentences. So,that is all I believe I need help with for now. Though, there could always be something I didn't notice in my writing or missed. I hope a mentor can help me with all, most, or at least one of these things I'd like to improve.

P.S. Also maybe tips/help with making characters or something. I'd like to make them better and not overdo things, like if I write them out and write too much. Lastly is, maybe making plots up for an rp. Oh and I could probably have help with playing male characters. I believe I do pretty okay with playing them, but I could always improve.

Note: I will add more things to improve on if I think of more.

So guess someone can just close this or something as I didn't get anyone to help me by now. Please and thank you.

Mummy, there was a mentor system and I myself am trying to find it now. I could have sworn they still have it so give me a second to confirm or deny that.

Ok apparently they do!

the-team.html Look for the Scholars in this list and pm one to help you! Though I do not suggest Augmentation Audit as that was my mentor and he/she is very busy.

Hello, friends! I'm Sato, a long-time member of RolePlayGateway. I am also one of the three Scholar Team Leaders, and I'd just like to step in and clarify something that Baby said in their post.

The Scholars team is a re-imagining of the Mentors team. The Mentors were a team of writing experts whose sole jobs were to work with users either in a one-on-one, or group setting and share their writing knowledge in the interest of making them better storytellers. You'd see a lot of Mentors taking on pupils, answering questions for new users, that sort of thing.

The Scholars are a slightly different take on that. Someone who is a Scholar exemplifies the idea of what it is to be a user here at RolePlayGateway. They are friendly, active, dedicated, full of innovation and primarily contribute to the betterment of the community with whatever they do. They are not required to work one-on-one with users like Mentors once did.

However, there are indeed some Scholars who love doing that sort of work. Ylanne, Marionetet, myself, and AugmentationAudit just to name a few.

The thing I just want to really establish is that yes, a Scholar is a good person to go to if you need help, but their first actual responsibilities here on the website are not to train or mentor users. If you send a PM to a random Scholar and find that they do not wish to teach you the ways of writing, they're not being rude, they're just recognizing that it isn't part of what they're supposed to be doing.

Thanks. Any other questions, please let me know.
