So, I just got on RPR, and I'm pretty new to RP in this forum format, although I have tried RP on improbable island. I'd love to meet some people that are willing to write with me too, and perhaps tell me a bit more how I should conduct myself when entering RPs and such.
Hello and welcome to RPR!! This was my first time with a forum styled rp site, too. You'll find plenty of people to rp with either by checking the 'looking for rp' forum posts or posting your own ad.
As for conducting yourself in a rp, you should just be yourself. If you're trying to set up a rp, be sure that the conditions you are making are ones that you'll be happy with and know that rp planning is a bit of give and take. A no-no for most people would be you 'playing' their characters. If your character needs the other person's response to know how to move forward, then it's probably best to post there instead of assuming a certain reaction from the other person's character. Uhhh and above all else, don't be rude. The quickest way to make people run from planning is if you come across harshly and like it's your way or the highway.
I think you'll be fine, though, because so many people are kind here.

Great to know, and thank you! I guess I'm just nervous about entering a new community and all that nonsense. At least I wasn't exactly surprised about the answers, so I'm hopefully off to a good start.

Welcome! It seems like you have a good handle on the social aspects of RP, but let me answer a little more about the whats and where of finding some RP to get into:
When it comes to starting RPs, most people start in the Looking For RP forum to find some other players. There's also a search tool that will help you find what you're looking for within that forum - click "Find RP" in the top menu, then "join game" then scroll to the bottom to adjust your preferences for game types. If you want more info on using that search tool, here's a handy help article.
If you end up joining someone else's RP, they'll let you know the details about how to join in.
If you're starting up your own RP, you have a few choices about how to proceed once you've found a RP partner or two.
By the by, you can use the "launch chat" button at the top and bottom of any forum topic, whether it's in a private group forum or our public RP forums, to turn your topic into a real time chat! There's also a link in the sidebar of private messages that will let you do the same.

- You can just create a RP topic on one of our 3 public RP forums: General Roleplay, Sci-Fi Roleplay and Fantasy RP. Keep in mind that because these areas are public, you'll have to make sure the RP stays in the PG-13ish range.
- You can choose to RP via private messages, and just create a new conversation thread with all your RP partners as recipients. Since this is private, the only rules that tend to apply are not to do OOC illegal things and be nice to your RP partners OOC.
- If you're going to have a whole lot of people in your RP, or the RP setting is going to be very strictly defined and you want to have a place to store world building information alongside it, you might consider starting your own group. This gives you access to profile building tools for the group, but also to creating your very own forums!
- In some cases, you and your RP partner might even decide to use some other messenger or game to RP on.
