well, you just made me resign from a group (I wasn't active there anyway!) so I could apply here, because my JuliaManach citizen persona had no more posts for the journey!! LOL

Now, for ages I would not think about role playing, the main reason being, I'm not an English speaker, so for me it was too much hard work. Also, I was discouraged the first times in Tara boards. I had no patience. Did I say I tend to be synthetical? Anyway, online posts can't be too long, it's just my opinion. Online is a different timing, it's not like taking a book in our leisure times and seat in our favourite way to enjoy the reading. But perhaps because of Vesuvius group, I am more interested now on the roleplaying process. I do feel like a novice, so I hope I can get some tips here *S*

The issue you raised, actually, that's one of the most interesting parts... I mean, one of the great things is to learn about those "small tidbits" that help to create an atmosphere.
