You could at least, you know, READ the thread before responding...

I'll admit my thread had like five or six rules when I search for a 1-on-1 RP and sometimes people ignore them. That's fine, rules can be worked out OOC once I'm contacted and it doesn't really annoy me unless I'm already in a horrible mood or I don't want to RP and they contact me because they found the thread about six pages back. However, there

I don't know why, but this made me think of my short-lived experience with on-line dating sites. I post a pic of myself, and a write a blurb of what it is I like and what it is I don't like. I wrote in my profile that I am allergic to cats and that if anyone wants to start a serious relationship with me, they must first ask themselves if they can part with their pet cat.

In my short time on the site, I received about a 100 dating requests by women whose profile states something along the lines of:

Things I cannot part with: My cats! I would rather die than leave them!

Pretty much the same idea, desperate morons who don't read what's infront of them.

I think high school in a slightly fantasy setting is appealing, if only because then it can be fairly different from real life.
I mean, a high school for fantasy creatures?
Try having a fairy that has to stay in her seat trying to see over the normal-sized nymph in front of her because the seating chart was screwed up and hasn't been remedied yet.

Well, this person wanted a realistic highschool with all the cliques and boring crap like dating and drama and...ugh.

[higenshi]

That's why I said OT. xD
I was musing over how high school RPs can be fun.

[epicbishophazel]

Ah, okies, well I agree, with a supernatural twist it could be.

[countsockula]

whenever I see one, I have to assume it's either someone who liked highschool or someone who hasn't been there.

Or people who didn't particularly like it, but play a character much unlike themselves in high school to see what a different experience would be like.

[epicbishophazel]

Not from my experience, maybe you've experienced differently. I just can't see the appeal.

[countsockula]

That has been my experience actually, so I was offering another reason people would want to play it. To each his own.I don't see the appeal of panfandom, personally.

[epicbishophazel]

Eh, well, I understand, but still my problem is more that he didn't bother to read or give a damn about what I actually offered and instead just assumed I wanted to do what he did.
