[TL;DR: do you know any other mlp rp sites that aren't quite as far out of my league?]
I really wanted to get into this forum, and I love almost everything about it.
I love that there is structure in the roleplays, and I love the standard set for character depth. I love that the people here are respectful roleplayers and that quality is expected and delivered.
However, there's one thing I just can't compete with.
I'm not exactly an English major (in fact, I'm currently failing college English for the third time in a row).
250 words may not seem like much to you guys (it sure looks like it doesn't), but I just spent an hour trying to write my "Overall Persona" in my OC application, and I'm only half done. It's not like I don't have a crystal clear idea of my OC's personality, I just can't seem to come up with enough words.
That got me thinking about how the same word count is required for each rp reply. I feel like I'm swimming in a pool where I can't touch the ground with weights on my ankles. I don't want to have to use a word counter every time I post a reply, and fill my replies with useless filler words just to meet this seemingly unattainable goal.
Is not that I can't be descriptive, I feel I'm plenty descriptive, and I feel that with replies even less than 100 words, there can be plenty to respond to.
I just don't know any other site that provides the structure this one does without the hurdle of an unattainable word count.
If anyone can help me find such a place, I would be very grateful.
I'm very sad to have to find somewhere else, but I just find this word minimum to be too much, and it would be beyond selfish to expect it change just because I'm inadequate.
