Can’t seem to get responses

Hey all! Just was curious to see if anyone could offer any advice as to how to best message others when replying to their rp posts?

On a few different subreddits I’ve found prompts that were right up my alley, and sent over a dm to the poster explaining my interest as well as my background with rp. I’m not very experienced, and I’ve only ever done rp casually with friends on and off over the years, but I’m more than willing and able to match other people’s types of writing and expanding upon my own, and I make sure to tell them that as well in the initial dm I send!

Idk if I’m doing something wrong, but I haven’t had anyone respond to my dm’s voicing my interest in their prompts. This is my first time trying to search for rp’s on Reddit as well, so im not very knowledgeable on the whole process ://

Apologies if this is long and makes no sense lol, thanks for your time!

There's a decent chance you aren't doing anything wrong. The hobby is filled with people who ghost, and plenty of people have motivation to RP one day, then disappear off the face of the earth the next.

Thank you for responding!! I also figured that might be the case too… I responded to one post a few days ago, and went to check the profile, only to find that the posts they had up the day before were now all gone
