- Fantasy is my #1; I will give almost anything a chance if it has strong fantasy elements. Post apocalyptic, superhero, alternate history, science fantasy, some supernatural, romance, and a few fandoms (especially Game of Thrones) are also likely to catch my eye.
Alright, that's enough of that. There's a time and place for debating, and this is a workshop, not a debate thread. Go make a debate thread about originality in the General Chatting section, or perhaps a discussion thread in the Class Discussion section in the Roleplay Institute, if you want to continue this. If you do that, or if you feel so moved to private message me directly about it instead, I'll go ahead and respond to this in proper debating fashion. As it is now though, nope, this ain't the place for it.I never say roleplayers have to worship orginality. I don't know where you got that from either. Or why you're saying that i'm going in circles. You said "a lot" have the view that orginality is essential. Which means by definition a majority or at least signifigant porton of roleplayers hold that view. That's a generalization you have made. Those are your words not mine. What I've been saying over and over again is that orginality is not overrated because:
A. Roleplayers fequently use tropes and cliches in their roleplays and they are still popular / sucessful.
B. Your generalization that " a lot " of roleplayers think orginality has not been proven and therfore be asserted as false. Despite your personal experiences with it. So your premise goes out the window.
C. Orginality when it does come influences other people's works. Making it valuable regardless of its age.
So if this is about roleplayers, you are still asserting that "a lot" of roleplayers think orginality is important. Which has not been proven by you or Kaga. Orginality is not overrated.
Please stop posting here if you're going to keep on with the debate or I'll have to ask the staff to intervene, because you're kinda breaking some section rules here and I'd rather not put up with it any longer.
