Forums » Smalltalk » How Many RPs is Too Many?

I think I am around 10 or 11 RPs right now, most active, but I still want to do more XD. I feel bad because I don't respond very fast or often; I like doing quality over quantity of responses. And yet, I write a lot in those few replies. I guess I'm curious on if I should just be satisfied with my number or if I should allow myself one or two more. How many RPs have people handled at one time before?
I personally have 20 going at my last count, but i have ALOT of free time usually and most other people arent on nearly as much as me! So having more rps keeps me busier!

How many times a day do you respond to each RP?

I think this is entirely dependent on what your partners are comfortable with and whether or not you can handle it.

It's important that your RP partners are okay with waiting. If they feel held back by the extra time you need to respond cause you have 10 other games going, then it's not really fair to them and it might be a good idea to either cut back on your RPs, or discontinue with that person.

And of course you shouldn't burn yourself out. There's nothing more frustrating than having several good RPs going, and then you find you have neither time nor energy anymore to respond to each one. I personally have reduced my availability to a single RP at any given time for this reason. I'm sick and tired a lot and it just makes it unfair to my RP partner when I can't respond to anyone cause I'm so worn out. If you can juggle 10+ RPs without it affecting your health or energy levels, then there's no reason to cut back!

Hmm, okay, I will then inform the people who I typically write less to but respond to more. At least three of them are just as busy as I am and get whats going on. Thank you for the advice!

Nah its cool lol XD
Uh I have 9 or 10 RPs going cause I imagine it like Writing a story and it keeps you wondering and interested so if you like RPing and evolve every RP your in with your replies I'd say TOTALLY join another RP it's worth it! (Also depends on if you have time! :D)
