Subject
Grabbing attention in your subject is more than just having a witty title. The most successful thread subjects are those that give information. Tag your title with some clear tags. These usually are about what genders you are playing and what you'll play with. The first is always yourself and the last is what you are looking for.
For example: [M4F]
Once you have a good tag, you need a descriptive but interesting title. If you are looking for a specific fandom to play in, pick a well known quote that goes along with it. If you are someone searching for a multitude of things, pick something that describes how you play.
For example: [M4F] Partner needed, believe it!
[F4F] Flowers of Romance
Be you and unique but give the reader an idea of what you are searching for in your subject.
Inside the First Post
Be detailed. You are the one putting out what you have to offer for others to connect with you. It is a good idea to start off with a little introduction. Include your age, your schedule for role play, how long you have been role playing, and anything else you think a rp partner might need to know.
Next, make a list of things you expect from your rp partner. Don't be meek in what you desire. Don't want someone who doesn't add to the plot, say so. Need someone that is on during your time, put it down. Hate it when people write a wall of text to describe how a character ties their shoes but does nothing else, let people know you don't like it. It is ok to be picky here, it will save you the trouble of having to ghost a person or tell them that you have to move on.
After you put down some heavy rules, put out a list of qualities you have. How much do you tend to post? Where do you want to rp? What kind of characters do you do? When are you available? What kind of content is ok, what is not?
Lastly, wrap it up with a small description of what you will be looking for and will describe in better detail in the next post.
Inside the Second Post
In this post there are several things that you can put. You don't have to do all, but if you are searching in a wide search, I would suggest it.
The List
List out pairings you would be interested in. Break it up by themes. Bold the character you want to play.
For example:
OC x OC[/ul]
Dr Who
Doc x OC
Rose x OC[/ul]
Original
Dragon x Rider
Fairy x Human
Angel x Demon[/ul][/ul]
The Plots
It is good to pair up the list with plot ideas. Plot ideas don't dictate all of what happens in the role play. This causes things to not be as fun. Surprise or input by your partner makes a rp interesting. I suggest giving each plot a unique title so people can ask about them by the title. Be specific as you can to give people a full idea of what you are wanting to set up.
The Characters
Sometimes you just have characters you want people to play with but you don't have anything specific in mind. Here is a good place to post your character's profile. Be sure to state what kinds of universes they would fit into. For example, a rustic cowboy character you meant to have roaming the ranches of Arizona would not fit in the Space Dandy anime world unless you built him to be that flexible.
