Role play? (Stupid Question)

[LeaveIt2Me]

I have never done any role play before and was wondering how it worked. Do you get to know the person you role play with before and then start a topic that aligns with their fantasy or do you post a random topic and different people add on like a story go round?

Some people have done both..

i prefer talking to my partner so we can see what each other like then toss around some ideas.. 

Good luck

I normally look to see someone that has a writing style that works for me. Then shoot them a DM and see if they want to rp. Once they agree we come up with a plot and idea.
