I can definitely understand when people say they're not sure if they're prepared enough, or preparing too much.
Trying to tailor my playstyle to adapt to what others do, I have to pare down my posts and go slower or faster. A lot of times, people seem like they've got so much going on and there is no space for me. As such, I feel like I need to get it together and be the one with the complex plan, or on the other hand, be the free and available one who doesn't interfere with intricate plots too much. So I think that I probably am a source of that pressure when people are worried about how much to plan.Â
A good example of that is how I often say "I have no pointless RP," wherein I insinuate that basically all RP I do, even when not planned, is working towards a goal, and is never just for fun or on a whim. It makes me seem more meticulous than I am, which is to say, I still like spontaneous stuff and never will begrudge someone for not having a plan. I certainly didn't shy away from an impromptu explanation of what *would* be manzai comedy in the real world one time when the conversation went in that direction. It means more or less that I think every RP scene, even small ones, can be used to further your own writing goals, even if only in baby steps. But I never want others to feel like they have to.
Even if I have an overall plan, and an objective, not everything I do is necessarily planned, and I write with flex room to do things outside of my original concept, while not sacrificing my overall goal. There's always more than one way to the end. That's why I don't think you should be discouraged for departing from your original game plan. If you think about how to integrate what you've RP'd in groups and with other people into your character concept moving forward, you'll find that it flavors, rather than necessarily derails, what you had in store for them. I had to come to terms with that myself, but I think overall the chaotic elements of RP weren't that hard to utilize, and I still have a chance to do the scenes and development that I want to.
