How To Size RP

So, you like that, little man/woman/other; you've had enough of the giantess collages, videos where girls squish dolls, and incomprehensible writing.com stories, and you've decided to get a real giant gf/bf/other in an RP. Or you're a big girl/guy/other seeking to respond to the constant demands for giants in this community. But where to get started? How to overcome your social awkwardness and get people to like you?

I don't consider myself a serious RPer, but I've done it a few times, and some people say I'm okay at it. I've found a couple of things that work for me when I've been looking around for stuff.

Following is a compiled list of brutally cunning and cunningly brutal strategies to maximize your intake of RP. It was originally written for a chat room, but I feel it applies anywhere. This also should apply for men, women, and other people of all heights, but was written mainly for those poor, helpless little boys who wonder why those pretty girls don't want to step on them. Don't take this chart as a Bible of size; but if you follow it, it could be a good start into finding your own style and getting into the rhythm of RPs.

0: Be nice.

And I don't mean "only nice to girls/guys so you can screw them". Don't insult people, be nice to both genders, and don't try to say anyone's tastes are bad. Don't be afraid to poke fun at people, though, but make it good natured.

1: Find the right place

Asking people off the street if they'll pretend to be big/tiny and play with you could probably get you in a bit of trouble. Even if they don't, let's face it: a person who doesn't know what makes a giant guy or giant girl hot wouldn't be able to RP as one. Sure, if both people are willing to explore, it can be fun; but the best place to start off is to look within bits of the size community to find a place/person that works for you. Size people know how to do size best.

If someone else starts something, and it's not limited to two people, ask if you can join. Look out for scenarios people make, and see how you can use them to suit your RP needs. Watch for people hungry for roleplaying, and give them suggestions. Don't force yourself onto anyone, but if people are willing, jump at the opportunity to RP. Even something that seems a bit strange might end up being fun if you're okay with moving outside your comfort zone.

2: Bat for the other side.

Don't be afraid to play as a giant girl, or as a giant man, or roleplay with a gender you're not attracted to. If you're not comfortable with this, you don't have to; but this helps you understand the female perspective, understand what you're looking for, and know what you can do to please roleplayers at the other side of the table. A lot of rooms won't have the kind of roleplayer you're looking for; so make do with what you have.

3: Don't start too quickly.

Foreplay is the sexiest thing ever. If you ask everyone for a roleplay as soon as they enter the chatroom, or without introducing yourself, they'll feel like you only like them for their sexual value; that's usually a no-go unless you've both settled out that you want to roleplay beforehand. Talk about your interests, size-related or not; once you find common points of conversation with people, they'll start taking to you. I usually wait for people to ask me; but if you want to ask them, build up to it gradually.

4: Be active.

This ties in with the previous point, and it's the part where I, personally, fail the most. If there's a conversation going on, take part in it. If there's no discussion going on, start one. This will help you get to know people, and find opportunities to discuss things. Especially in chat rooms - sometimes, people just need a good scenario to get going.

5: Be honest.

Don't lie about anything. People will find it out. Roleplay anything you want, or make crazy jokes, but don't try to do pretend you're actually what you're roleplaying. Also: don't pretend to like something if you don't. Establishing trust is a big part of roleplaying.

6: Be humble.

This ties in with the above rule. If you're tiny, accept that you're going to be crushed, eaten, treated like a toy, etc. Don't brag about yourself too much. If you're huge, don't overpower the other character too much unless you're both into it. Everything here is in good fun, and nobody wants to RP with 100% invincible characters who always have to have their way. (Yes, even most tinies want a little bit of power - if only for it to be taken away).

7: Write or draw or stuff in your free time.

The only way to have everything go exactly the way you want is to write a story about it or draw it. This way, you can practice your style, explore what kinds of things you like and dislike, and even come up with ideas for roleplays. People like roleplayers who speak good English.

8: Have some ideas ready.

Have you ever been asked "want to roleplay?", and then, when you ask what they want to roleplay, they say, "I'm good with anything"? That's like inviting someone on a date, and then expecting them to plan where you go and what to eat. Don't force your ideas on people, but make sure you have some idea of what you like and what you want from the roleplay. These can be general things for situations, characters, or forms of interaction.

I personally keep a list of scenarios I like (from ordinary to bizarre), and character types, so that I can bring some up before we start. If you find a cool idea in a picture or story or video, don't be afraid to steal it - you won't get accused of plagiarism or anything mid-RP!

9: Accept that you won't always get what you want.

Other people have their own ideas, too. Make sure that they get to make use of them. It can actually be really fun to play roles you didn't think you would.

10: Make sure you're both comfortable with everything.

The absolute best roleplay happens when both people are completely into it and love their roles. Don't be afraid to step outside your usual boundaries, but if there's something that you absolutely WON'T do, tell the other person politely, and see if you can change it up a little. Similarly, if the other person seems uncomfortable, ask them if what you're doing is okay. Don't pressure anyone into anything. Usually, before the RP, I ask people what kinda stuff they're into. If you say you're uncomfortable partway through, you don't have to stop RPing; you can just RP something else, or the same thing with some differences.

11: Don't over-exert yourself.

In other words: don't play if you're too tired, and don't multitask. If you have a completely awesome RP coming up, but are way too tired to do it (and I mean physically exhausted, not "sorta not in the mood"), ask the other person if they can reschedule it; that way, you'll both be really into it. Also, it's better to have one completely awesome RP that you're engaged in than having two RPs that you have to keep up with, and put in consistent quality writing for both. People will feel like you aren't paying enough attention to them- which isn't fair, because some people devote a lot of effort to roleplaying.

12: Don't cum-and-run.

You can leave in the middle of an RP, but make sure to tell the other player, give a warning a while before you leave, and thank the person before leaving. The urge to leave if you orgasm can be really strong- but you have to respect the other person, too. If you show respect, they'll want to roleplay with you again.

13: Don't flirt with people OOC.

People who think that relationships can be started over giantess roleplays should think twice. You're both in here to have fun, make friends, get engaged in cool stories, and cater to each others' base desires; which is awesome. Romance? You'll have better luck with dating sites, or the great outdoors. The only way to get a REAL giant girlfriend or tiny boyfriend or any permutation of those is to pour nuclear waste on someone.

14: It doesn't have to all be about smut.

Don't be afraid to toss in a bit of comedy, tragedy, or actually take your setting into new and interesting places when you roleplay. It could end up becoming something huge and interesting - or a great laugh. The funny bone and boner aren't always as far apart as people think.

15: Make sure you both know how long it'll last, and what form it'll be in.

An hour-long quicky? A consistent thing for a few hours? Notes sent back and forth periodically, not consistently? A sprawling multi-session epic? A couple of unrelated games with recurring characters and themes? The choice is up to you, and you don't have to decide immediately. Just make sure you both know how it is at the end of the session; or if you're suggesting the scenario, specify this if it's important.

16: No two roleplayers are the same.

You'll meet good roleplayers, bad roleplayers, people who love to write long-winded, eloquent paragraphs, people who write short, sweet snippets, people who prefer gentle giants, people who like violent girls... Everyone has different tastes, and different styles. Not everyone will be exactly suited to your tastes, and you won't be exactly suited to everyone's tastes; once you accept this, all kinds of opportunities open up. I usually change my style to suit other people's, but that's not always a good idea; again, make do with what you have, and you'll most likely have more fun than you thought.


In all, the best thing to remember is that everybody has their own tastes and taboos. You just have to find where peoples' overlap, and then develop from there. Not only is it fun, it can be a great glance inside the loosely-united, amorphous group of weirdos we call "the size community". Everyone has their own quirks, and it can be sorta cringeworthy at times - but other times, incredibly fascinating, even moreso than the RP itself.

Hopefully, this list helps with people considering RP. Have fun with your games!
