This is a list of different roleplay genres and their originality. What we need more of and what is overused.
Pokemon: Nothing wrong with it, just overused WAY too much.
Vampire: People keep saying it's overused. I think opposite. I've only seen a few vampire roleplays around.
School: Alot of them used in the past, not sure now. But personally I don't like them. For people who DO like them, don't be offended by this.
Fantasy: I have seen alot of fantasy. It's not exactly overused but alot of the fantasy roleplays are good.
Mixed: Mixed as in mixing like modern with fantasy or sci-fi or whatever. I haven't seen too many Mixed roleplays. I'd actually like to see some more of them.
Modern: These roleplays are roleplays taken place in more modern times. I haven't seen too many but maybe there is alot out there.
Future: I have seen alot of these futuristic roleplays. Not exactly overused. Alot of them though.
Zombie Apocolypse: I think it is overused. Nothing wrong with them but I do like them. Have seen alot of these roleplays being made and never even got one person to join.
Sci-Fi: I've seen like 6 of these max. With the space and starships and stuff like that. I'm not a big fan of them but there could be a little more.
Medieval: I've noticed alot of people like medieval. I haven't seen too much of it but I'd like to see more.
That's the end of my list, feel free to post more genres and if they are overused or not. |

Touhou: The only running one so far is mine, Idiot in Time. And me and Spiderpig are RPing the crud out of that.
Crossovers: ARGH WHY AREN'T THERE ANY OF THESE NOW?!
Pop'n Music: I'm not going to comment on this one because nobody else on here even plays the games.
Powerpuff Girls: Never see any of these.
Escape-The-Room: OH GOD, HELP ME! |

Especially my most hated:
Poke-Bey-Crap-Ball-Yugi-Cat: A mixture off all the retarted anime shows shoved into one. A heaping ball of crap. Nothing to any of them, shouldn't EVER be used. |

Pokemon: It's all the same thing to me. Not a whole lot to the plot imo.
Vampire: Vampire RPs are cool but it's just not alot of them implement that aspect of originality. It seems like people only knew about vampires and werewolves after these stupid movies were made.
School: Overused and simply put, are not even worth the time of thought. There is no exciting aspect about them; besides, they're for shut-ins that don't actually go to school. Bad reason but whatever.
Zombocolypse: Fallout/Blackops fanboys + Fetish/dreams to be dead = this |

> Serious Medieval > No one likes
LIES. I'm all for any aspect of seriousness. I just never see any that have what I think equals seriousness. Either that or I don't feel like joining a roleplay that's been going on for a while. Olol. |

I hate when that happens. I keep looking for good RPs but I'm afraid to join them if they have 2 pages+ D: |

Gee, I thought I was the only one. :/ Just like I thought I was the only one that had a peeve for the repetitiveness of certain RP subjects[notably pokemon].
But it's not really 2 pages, but when it goes to 4 or more. Then I feel lost in the story and it's horrendous to read through 4 pages of posts, most likely having large paragraphs if the person who wrote them is experienced.
-
> 1200 pages That must be some unorganized mess there. I don't even want to think about how chaotic it is. |

Nah. People come and go. It's not a closed thread. Although there are a few people that can be dated back to the first 10 or 20 pages that are still going. |

| Never heard of it. I'll try to find it though. But in my 60-page roleplay, the people that first started are still roleplaying in it now. |

| Judge them by their content, not their genre. A skilled hand can make even the most overused of thread ideas and make it into a masterpiece. |

| Depends on how it is done. Perhaps an interactive Creepypasta? Go ahead, try it. You will amaze yourself. While I do agree that it is overused, it is still possible to make it original. |
