Quote:Dimension hopping for no good reason just makes your reader not want to read any further/not want to invest in what you're writing. Is there some gravely important reason, other than your unfamiliarity with the setting, that your story needs a character from another world?
My major problem with this response is basically that the one who decides it's a good reason is the player themselves. There is no one specific 'reader' to speak of in a roleplay community, so again this is a sweeping generalization that doesn't really apply to everyone. It may be a gravely important reason to the player of that character. Whether anyone else agrees it is or not is on them, but it's not up to them to judge its importance, just their reaction to it. We're talking about varied interactions with multiple individuals, not some dime store novel.
Quote:Really? You wouldn't throw in a "maybe try to understand a differing perspective in order to get a better handle on what might not work with your writing"? Not at all? Not even for the benefit of gradually improving in ability regarding a hobby you enjoy?
It is neither my duty nor my responsibility to impress upon others anything. The OP asked a question, and I gave the responses I thought that supported his idea from what I've seen within the game and with what I know about the universe itself. Considering that every response you've given at this juncture has absolutely no intent on having a different perspective other than 'this is bad, don't do it', I honestly also don't see how you could speak on trying to make anyone have said different perspective, on what might work or otherwise.
