I was wondering if someone would mention this. I can’t stand when a character is omniscient and can read every character’s mind and pick up every hint of body language that most people wouldn’t even notice. No character should have as much information as an omniscient narrator. Just because you mention something in your writing doesn’t mean that the other persons character has to be aware of it.I hate it when someone doesn't reply as frequently as you do. Its not that I necessarily blame them, schedules do get in the way, its just frustrating. Or when another persons character guesses your characters whole backstory because you previously told them, and then you have to try to explain to then not to do that, in a non-patronizing or mean way.

Unless your character has a knack for noticing small details in a persons body language and stuff like that there’s no reason for it. Let’s be honest how many people do you know irl who are that observant that they’ll pick up the slightest things and suddenly gain some sense of insight on your personality and backstory. You just have to take into consideration the limitations of your character’s perspective. You’re not rping to play a narrator.I know right! Especially when they use it to make their character look like they're really intelligent.
I agree, if someone deduces something normally and reasonably puts two and two together I'm fine.Now it can be appropriate if someone’s character does something blatant or obvious like wincing at a fire might reveal their fear of fire and then your character might make an assumption that they’ve had a bad experience in the past with fire and that’s ok. But noticing a twinkle in their eye that reveals their darkest and deepest desires is just bs.
Ah good, it’s not just me, I can’t stand first person. Not that first person writing is invalid, but when everyone else is role playing in third person it’s so irksome to have it switching to first person whenever that one person responds.I can't stand first person. First person just makes me uncomfortable sometimes
I also hate it when people doesn't give you enough to respond. Ei- one liners or lack of details. Especially if I gave them a few healthy paragraphs and I don't get at least half of the length in return and barely anything to work with.
