well crazygirl, our characters don't lend themselves to the big social interaction. Then again, storyline wise I think they will eventually be back in school, its just quite pointless to hop from Reven in a hospital to Reven back in school just so we could 'participate' in the whole RP. Pointless, not really no ... any rp post that entertains, even 1 person is a succesfull one, and if it is written creatively it is an exersise aswell
Well, I'm on both sides of it, really. I'm not posting this to annoy anybody, or because I'm on one side or the other, just because I think it's important, and I'm interested by what's been said.
I think, definitely, that two characters interacting with each other is an important part of role playing. Not just for RPing's sake, but for the sake of getting used to how different types of RPs work. It also helps to further character development and plot.
That having been said, I think there should be balance. It shouldn't be the only thing you do in an RP, and not all secrets should be revealed in one big meeting. The less secrets a character tells, the more interesting they become. This goes along with the fact that these meetings between characters probably shouldn't be long and drawn out. And, I mean no offence by saying this, I think Reven's and Kaiy's is getting there. To be honest, after the first few, I started skipping them. Sorry. ^_^;; Remember, everything but cheesefries in moderation. 😉 All I'm saying is, you can be creative, but that doesn't mean you have to be longwinded. And, believe me, I know of published authors who have trouble sometimes distinguishing between the two.
Anyway, I hope I helped. Like I said, I didn't mean to offend anybody in any way. If I did, I'm sorry. I just meant to offer my opinion in a hopedully constructive manner. If you wanna ask me something, or yell at me, just PM me.
Much *evil* love,
