Yeah I'm not really into the whole purple-prose thing, a funny short story actually.
A short while ago I was in an RP linkshell and there was someone in it asking for someone to RP with them, they described themselves as an "experienced" rp'er and that this would be their first rp in FF14, so I agreed
I met them in the Quicksand and they really made a lot of mistakes
1) They gave NO hooks, openings, or invitations whatsoever, their character was sitting in a public place reading a book, turned away from everyone, with seemingly zero interest in the world around them
But whatever, I knew this was their first time in this game, so I forced an opening
2) They had absolutely nothing of substance to say about anything, they talked about nothing interesting at all, their character had no opinions, no thoughts, like the player was so afraid of alienating me that they were speaking but the character wasn't saying anything
I shrugged this off and fed them opinions and thoughts to ground them, using dialogue to inform them of the world around them as we went, perhaps they just didn't know much about the lore or setting yet? But then...
3) Way too much purple-prose, this is the one that informs me that this "experienced roleplayer" is most likely someone who writes or reads a lot of fanfiction, because I'm not kidding you, every action they took, even in complete absence of dialogue, had 2-3 full paragraphs of highly detailed description and imagery, and sometimes it would be paced so that they'd use it as replacement for dialogue cues, which is how you write a novel, not how you roleplay, due to roleplaying just being an exchanging of actions and dialogue
As soon as I saw the ridiculously over-the-top purple prose, I knew this person was going to wear themselves out in an extremely short period of time and probably call it quits, and sure enough, they "d/c'd" 5 minutes later, and I haven't seen them since
