Inability to pay attention to, acknowledge, and replicate your partner's thread format is EXACTLY why I will drop a thread with someone.
It's happened to me on Tumblr, and WOW is it annoying!
It's standard goshdarn RP format, has been around for years upon years, and is still being used as the predominant format of RP.
Not rocket science.
Reading comprehension is A Thing, too. As in, read your partner's ENTIRE bio, READ their info pages, they typed them out for a reason! I just started an RP with someone who not only uses the wrong 'your/you're', improper punctuation, and can't seem to remember that capitalization exists, but completely ignored my RP proposal bio in favor of something I said I would NOT RP. I'd rather write with someone who also wants to WRITE, with actual plot and character development, not 'write' with someone who's half-assing and derailing it onto their own set of tracks, just to get to the juicy bits.
