An example post done by my friend whose a very good role player. The role play was between two dragons Arach and Archer, this was done by Arach's player so its (c) her
.:Arach didn't see Archer's move coming. How could he? He was blinded, eyes closed against the harshness of the world. He was torn, battered, worn, wounded.
And yet he wouldn't give up.
Never.
He'd last until this fight finished, or die trying.
A little corner of his mind hoped for Shai to step in, to announce her judgment, to let them both finish fighting and have their injuries tended by qualified personnel.
Another little corner wondered just what his opponent looked like now, wondered how much longer Archer would last. He had been a young opponent, well trained and more than competent--perhaps his inexperience would lead to surrender? Or, likewise, perhaps he possessed greater stamina and strength, and could last far longer in battle tha Arach could.
Fueled by rage he shrieked in dismay as his strike was foiled, feeling a strong set of jaws clamp down firmly on his right forepaw. A startled tug revealed that he certainly could not free himself without an unreasonable amount of force.
The whirling motion of Archer in the strike propelled Arach to a sharp landing on the ground, feeling intense pain as his wing was formally introduced to the ground, the motion accompanied by a symphony of sickening snaps and pops...
A pitiful growl was his response, but that didn't release his paw. It didn't correct his eyesight. A whimpering growl would not, by any means, fix his wing.
He had rolled onto his side in the resulting strike, inevitably jolting his captor about a bit... But the hold didn't weaken.
Arach, realizing just what his opponent was doing, choked back a few more growls and snarls, lying still for a few moments, summoning up a few last dregs of strength and accenting them from his bottomless fountain of rage...
In a split-second he went from whimpering drake to fierce, dangerous predator. Never mind that he was trapped--he would tolerate mauling his paw if it yielded results on a greater scale.
His invisibility-illusion and dragon-illusion were shredded. Another illusion had cloaked his face from view, painting an unharmed visage to conceal his grievous injury.
The action he took was simple and rather feral. Realizing that if Archer refused to relinquish his grip, he would be within range of attack until he let go... And Arach planned to make the most of the time he got.
At the same time he released his illusions, he twisted into action. His three freed paws lashed out viciously, claws scratching and digging at anything within reach. His tail snapped and lashed, and his fangs and flame were directed at anything he could detect. With his thrashing and contorting he was certainly not making his situation better for any of his injuries--and generating new ones as his paw jerked and twisted in Archer's grasp...
The older drake dismissed the pain from his wing and paw, dismissed the fact that he was causing more harm to himself, and continued lashing out at any flesh he could reach, claws and fangs seeking to draw deep gashes anywhere they touched...:.

A guide to roleplaying via text written by my friend Ruku
Ruku’s Guide to Role Playing ©Ruku 2003-2004 (bwee mah beloved Ruku ^^)
Introduction Roll playing online is like acting in a play or movie, except for a few key differences. The first is that you are doing this online, not with a real “audience” watching you. Secondly, you can make up your own rules, and there’s no need to buy special effects or props. Unfortunately, most people don’t know how to “RP correctly” and start off just like I did. Here’s a set of suggestions to help you start off on the best method of acting this side of the Internet.
Basic Posting The first thing to learn about is this. I hope you all like Redwall, because I’m going to give you a little passage from it.
“troan shrug. ‘im tu old 4 that sort fo thin. leave it 2 d kids’ Carrul snorted ‘2 old? 2 big in d tmummy u mean. If ur 2 old then what about me eh? I wuz ur teacher when u wer a tiny dibun @ abby skool’” (This passage taken From Loamhedge by Brian Jacques, p.15. Slightly modified content.)
If you are a fan of Redwall you’re about to kill me because of blasphemy. One looks at that passage and says, “Good grief, Brian Jacques wouldn’t write like that. His book won’t even get published!” Well if you go to many forums or chat rooms you’ll see that most of the people talking like that. That stuff’s just dainty for instant messaging, but on a forum, most likely people are not waiting for you. Just type it out, and use punctuation.
Continuing on that subject matter, I’m going to show you some more things about posting or chatting. Here’s a little bit of what my early RP was like.
Ruku: What do you mean? Arora Vesper: Just what I said Ruku, now be quiet. Ruku: Ok so when are you going to tell Ruku about the thing? Arora Vesper: [I’ll tell him about it when its time.] Arora Vesper is © her player.
Another point to make is that if you’re going to talk OOC, or Out of Character, keep it in brackets or parentheses. It’d be similar to watching Lord of the Rings and hearing Peter Jackson shouting in the background to his crew and cast. This was taken of a chat room so for posting there was no need to format the text. On a forum, however, it is better to format your text in book style. Such as “Ruku says, ‘Lets go guys!”
Finally, I would like to go over one final thing. Shouting. If you read any book, you will rarely find people shouting in ALL CAPITAL LETERS. That is just annoying and harsh to the eyes. It would be best to have them add an exclamation mark to the end of the sentence if in chat room format, or if in book format, something like, “‘Be quiet!’, shouted Ruku.” Its much easier to look at. Try reading this and not seeing the capital letters above. Its very hard.
Fighting Now that we’ve done the posting part, we’re going to move onto everyone’s favorite thing to do. Fight! Here is how I started to fight… Except I think I’ll use a movie this time. Here’s the famous scene from “The Matrix” where Neo dodges the bullets.
Agent Smith shoots his gun a lot at Neo. Neo bends over and dodges all the bullets. “Trinity, help!” Trinity comes over and shoots Smith in the head, killing him instantly. “Dodge this.”
I can hear your heart pounding from here. I know it was exciting but really that’s how most people start of posting. I know because I started out exactly like this. Lets rephrase that shall we?
Agent Smith coolly draws his pistol and levels it at Neo, firing the gun rapidly at him.
Neo stares at Agent Smith for a minute, time slowing down. There is no sthingy… He bends over almost backwards, just in time for a bullet to pass over his head. An eerie trail left by the wind distortion follows it, catching his attention. He quickly glances back to find another bullet coming towards him and jerks his arm back in a windmill form…
Ok now that was much better. Now you can see what happened more clearly. But notice the first part with Trinity’s head. She shot Agent Smith and he died. Well that wasn’t very fair… That’s like me posting that I broke your arm in three places, kicked you in the head and then shot you. Lets rewind just a bit. For the sake of time I’m going to shorten the posts.
Neo bends over and dodges all the bullets. “Trinity, help!” Trinity comes over and puts her gun to Smith’s head. “Dodge this.” She then pulls the trigger. Agent Smith turns around hearing her speak, just in time to see her pull the trigger. He jerks back as the bullet…
If you notice, Agent Smith decides whether the bullet hits or not, Trinity shouldn’t decide that. Finally, I would like to go over a last thing. Now that Smith has the power to choose whether the bullet hits him or not, lets see what he does.
Agent smith turns around hearing her speak, just in time to see her pull the trigger. He quickly grabs at her arm and twists it around to get the bullet to veer off in a different path.
Now there’s nothing wrong with that post, right? He said that he grabs AT her arm, that doesn’t mean that he grabbed it, thus giving Trinity a chance to say whether she was grabbed or whether she wasn’t. But wait, that didn’t happen in the movie did it? No! It didn’t because that’s totally unrealistic. Smith wouldn’t have the time to react to something like that, even though he’s a computer. When you do something that is totally unrealistic, such as dodging an attack that should have hit.
Developing your Character. No RP is complete without a character. When developing your character, keep things in realistic proportions. This means that you shouldn’t develop a six foot five character with fair skin, blue eyes, spiked hair, a perfect body etc. If you go and look at the world, not everyone is tall, dark, and handsome. There’s a difference in every person. Now before this turns politically correct, I’m going to say that its not wrong to create a tall, dark and handsome character. Its just that’s a stereotype and you should at least try not to be stereotypical.

Mr Stanek I would like to thank you very much for writing such wonderful stories that spurred my imigination as they played themselves in my head as I read them. I found myself unable to tear away myself from the book and when I had to, I kept guessing at what the next part of the story would be like, eager to get back to reading the book.
I admit it has been a while since I last encountered a book that could make me react in that manner.
Unfortunately, I am unable to find your books in the local bookstores to aquire them and thus must resort to the library. I shall keep a vigiliant watch upon the bookshelves of bookstores for your books
thank you once again for writing such wonderful tales!
