RPing and YOU!

[Caleb]

Have your experiences in the Role-play universe, Star Wars or otherwise, significantly impacted your writing style?

How so? Obviously it's a theoretical work-out, but how do you think your style would've been different if you hadn't RPed?

 

[Sovereign]

Of course.

I couldn't even speak english before.

Of course.

I couldn't even speak english before.

I think that qualifies as impact, yes.

 

[Sovereign]

I think that qualifies as impact, yes.

Indeed.

I'm currently attending an english college thanks to this site, and I intent to pursuit my education in English as well.

Role playing is simply story writing only with more then one author. So you get a taste of very different writing styles, and that broadens your writing 'horizons'. Role playing is also an excuse to think up new and exciting plot lines and characteristics, I find myself regularly (mostly when I'm bored out of my mind) thinking up new characters, and new tactics.

Even after reading a good RP on these forums I'll regularly recall a well written role play to mind and run it through my mind's eye much like a short film. Which sometimes gives me ideas...

 

[Caleb]

For myself, I think it's been something of a mixed bag. On one hand, RPing has consistently developed an interest in the written word and, as you say, has been an excuse to write. However, I also think that I've picked up bad habits from RP that have translated into my other writing.

 

[JM76]

Kinda. I had some skill at writing before I found this site, and I haven't been here that long, so I'll have to wait and see how it affects my writing style.

I'll get back to you in 7 months. :CHappy:

Years ago, RPing helped me a lot. After I retired, I still kept writing storylines and just kept up with my writing.

I've found myself actually wanting to get back into RPing recently as well.

 

[Phil]

Yes it did. Without it, I'd prolly have a worse vocabulary when writing and such, and prolly would have failed my English classes.

 

[Regret]

Yes it did. Without it, I'd prolly have a worse vocabulary when writing and such, and prolly would have failed my English classes.

wow.


Anyways, Rping has helped my writing, yes. Mostly with spelling, grammar, and etc.

 

[Phil]

wow.

Prolly is just the way i say and spell(In OOC and things not important) Probley. No one really complained about it eitherway.

Probably**

Without Role-playing on this site, I probably would have done slightly worse in my english class, but for the most part I think it was my english class that improved my role-playing abilities.

I went from typing like a complete retard, making no sense and it being clear I had something wrong with me.

to now, where it's not that clear...Plus I would consider myself to be a good rp'er/

What is/was wrong with you? o.O

He'd need a whole separate thread to describe it.

 

[Lavi]

I have become far more descriptive in my writing because of RPing. And RPing developed my writing style.

 

[Hanshin]

RPing might have helped me, but school (oh my gawdz i'm admitting it!!) helped alot too. So maybe so :CHappy:

 

[Brandon Rhea]

Absolutely. As the role-plays developed in story, I was able to try different things and broaden the types of things I could do. Without this website, I would be just as bad as I was when I started RPing, and that was pretty bad.
