RPing. Whether it's with humans, warrior cats, dogs, or anything else RPing requires work. It's not just fun and games; it can require work. Especially if your making a descriptive post. That's what this tutoriel's for; to help you make blah posts into blast posts (okay I know that totally sucks, but...xD)!
1. What is RPing?
RPing is like a game. Only sort of more like a writing emotional game than a computer one. It's where you post with a person, or many people and RP humans, cats, or whatever else you want. Putting a lot of emotions into the charrie is what really makes it fun.
2. Why should I make a descriptive post?
Cause it makes it mush more easier to reply to and mush more appealing to read.
Here's an example:
Tigerlily woke up and padded out of the warriors den. She stretched her legs, and went to go be alone to think.
..ick right? It makes it hard to reply to that.
A dark tabby she cat with black stripes walked out of the warriors den into the woodland creek. She sniffed around the area, smelling a mixture of thunderclan and shadowclan scents. Woodland creek was the border between the two clans. She sat on shadowclan's side of the border and sat down, curling her tail neatly over her paws. Her eyes glazed over down to the ground, clearly stating she was deep in thought. "Qute a boring day today." she thought to herself quietly, She twitched her ears as more sounds were made throughout the forest. She turned around scanning the area, finding nothing. Shaking her head, she turned back to her normal position and went back to deep thoughts.
See how I made that mush more appealing then before?
3. How do I make a descriptive post?
It's easy! Really! It just takes some getting used to.
~Starting your post: The first sentence of your post, or couple first sentences should set the mood.
Instead of: Tigerlily sniffed the air, smelling for prey.
Try this: The shadowclan she cat twitched her ears, and sniffed around. She smelled some frogs and mice in the deep forest beneath her. Looking up at the sky, she saw a hint of the sun between the clouds. It was a partly sunny day, but not chilly.
See?
~Middle of your post: The middle of your post should add some extra info that the begging left out.
Instead of: She smelled hints of frog and mice in the air. She postioned herself downward and looked around.
Try this: The dark tabby she cat didn't feel any coldness today; it was not chilly at all today. It was simpaly a normal new leaf day. She scanned her gooseberry green eyes across the forest floor, side to side and left to right. She spotted a frog hopping across the ground.
~End of your post: The end of your post should wrap up what you plan to post, and have enough info that someone can reply to.
Instead of: Tigerlily gathered herself backwards and sprang forward, pouncing on the frog. She killed it and buried it.
Try this: She quickly stopped her tail from twitching, her ears from twitching, and her eyes from darting to minimize the noise that would scare the frog away. She carefully padded very quietly closer to the frog until she was in sight of catching it. Then she shot her paw forward, crushing it down, killing it. She scanned around making sure their were no intruders, and buried her frog in the ground.
