Sloppy Writer
My roleplay partner is an absolute unicorn, but nobody is perfect, and they have this one issue that I'm letting get under my skin just a little. I gotta complain.
Basically, I saw their AD on a roleplaying forum about 2 months ago and I just left a like but didn't reach out because they asked that any potential players write a lot. I have no problem with writing a lot, but for every single post? Nah. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up without it reading unnaturally, especially during dialogue heavy scenes. Plus every time a novella-style roleplayer reached out to me, the roleplays felt unfun and they were mean.
To my delight, they reached out to me soon after I liked their AD and they asked if I was interested.
I told them I was, I just wasn't going to write a lot for every response so I decided not to tell them that.
They told me that they didn't care about that so long as I wasn't just write a couple words or a steady flow of one liners.
With that, an off the cuff dark-fantasy romance blossomed. Their starter was phenomenal. They have an addictive writing style and it blended so well with my own. We both praised each other's writing. But a week or so into the roleplay their writing tanked dramatically. It was the same fun style, but horrible spelling(?) mistakes would throw me off.
"Melons" instead of men.
"My lore" instead of m'lord.
And this is very specific but they wrote this “I’m cuter ask you question about your family, but may I ask you other things?" I had to ask them to clarify and it was supposed to say "I know I can't ask you questions about your family, but may I ask you other things?" They said the reason for all these mistypes is because they're using their tablet. But like, can't they read their replies over before sending them? I find in ironic (not in a mean way) that they value a lot of words and can't bother to make sure those words are used correctly.
The roleplay is going on a while and I really enjoy it, this is just something that bugs me because they're a great writer. They're just not reading what they write. I don't get it.
