Welcome to TB, an all levels Harry Potter roleplay with no word count. Our purpose is to go through the books with one exception: the addition of original characters and what changes that makes.
We accept all beings and creatures in the Harry Potter verse including ghosts, veela, muggles and even centaur.
We have many active events ongoing for both students and adults and many characters and locations around the world.
Come join us and discover how your character can grow and evolve in the world of Harry Potter.
Hey everyone, I have been thinking a whole lot of different things about my writing and characters and I really want to ask your help with these things on my mind. I would like to know what you as members of the site and writers think of me and my characters. If possible I would like to hear some good things and some things that can be improved, please don't only list things that can be improved or are disliked because that is not really a nice thing to do, or motivating to improve and rather confidence crushing. I really want more plots with everyone and development and I kind of feel like it won't happen without the help of all of you. So please take a moment to do this, for a fellow member of the site.

I think your writing is just fine (though sometimes you tangent, but most roleplayers do xD). There's nothing wrong with your characters at all, but one suggestion I'd give is to try to make them far more drastically different. A lot of them are nice and agreeable to most other characters. Maybe make someone really dark, or moody or rash or jaded or isolated or arrogant or heroic or I don't know, lots of things. xD I don't know, I personally like to have all my characters be very different and am very unsatisfied if they seem to be blending together, even if they seem to be acting like another character I have who I'm not currently playing. But that's just me and this is clearly a very subjective suggestion based on what I like to do. Obviously do what you like to do because you're the one roleplaying and it should be for fun.
Thanks for that information E. (though I have to admit I have no idea what you meant with ''you tangent'') I'll definitely have a look into it and hope to use the advise.

Oh it's just what a lot of roleplayers do when they write huge or multiple paragraphs of things that doesn't have to do with the other character or situation at hand. Like 90% of roleplayers do it I think. Or maybe 80%. But yeah a lot do but I personally have a hard time replying to that if it's mostly rambling. I'm sure most would disagree with me and that's fine but for me, I find posts that ramble on just for length as bad as one lining. Just opposite ends of the spectrum but neither are good writing.
Also this post is a great and ironic example of a dance and as the purpose was to talk about your writing but I went off on a generalized ramble.
