Today I'm going to talk to you about one of my biggest loves and the reason why I'm even on this website, roleplaying. Seeing as this article is about fun things to do during in the summer on VP I thought I would talk to you about this because it's such a fun and interesting thing to do. I know one thing I look forward to is having time off to be able to roleplay with my friends. It's also a great way to make friends. I made two of my best friends on here through roleplaying with them!
So what is roleplaying? Roleplaying is where you and another person basically create a story between you. You will start off with a plot, and then you will pick your characters. Once you've got those two things started, you can begin the roleplay. What you do now is you write out what's going to happen in the plot using your roleplay characters. This is usually done in the third person. Once you start you can make the roleplay your own, and you can take it anywhere you want to go and come up with all sorts of ideas. It's the perfect thing to do if you get bored during the summer.
Here are some of my favourite plots (Not sure who all of these are by but some of them are by our very own writer, Hailee, so thanks lovely <3)
The summer before your Sophomore year of college, you and your best friend go to your favorite band's concert. They're not really famous. Their music doesn't play on the radio, but all their concerts sell out. The band is from the town you live in so with every tour they have, they end it where they started. It's always the biggest and best, and you couldn't be more excited. It's a first come, first serve sort of a standing venue so you get decent spot and when the concert starts you couldn't be having any more fun. Around half way through the concert, the lead singer stops in the middle of the song that he's seeing and stares into the crowd. Well.. At you. The lead singer calls you up on stage, and you make your way through the sea of jealous girls. On stage, the lead singer tells you that you're beautiful and asks for your number. You think he's joking, but he actually pulls his phone out of his pocket. That is the story of how you met your current boyfriend. After that, you finished out college while he stayed in town and worked on his new album with his band and right around the time you graduated, he started a new tour. You tagged along on his tour and spent your time writing about the places you visit. Everything is fine and fun, but after being constantly on the road on and off for almost two years, you grow tired of it. You want to buy a house and settle down, but he's so caught up in his stardom that he hasn't even thought about it. Can you convince him to give it a break or is it time for you to find something new?
You and your girlfriend are considered to be the perfect couple. You both love each other to death, have your little inside jokes and just click in with each other. However, one day, your girlfriend gets into a horrible accident. She ends up being at the hospital in coma. Of course, you are anxious and worried, keeping by her side every day. She then suddenly snaps out of her coma after several weeks. You are really happy, and you start hugging her and telling her how much you love her. She, on the other hand, gives you a blank look before asking, "Who are you?" It seems that she has lost her memory after the accident! What will happen? Will you try to get your relationship back together or let her start over again?
Ashamed You’ve known him since you were young, growing up, his mom was best friends with your mom. Now usually this would mean that the two of you are tighter than ever, except for the fact that you can’t stand him. He’s always been rude to you and isn’t any nicer in school. He’s popular, you’re not a loser, but you would never fit in with their crowd, and his friends tease you. You honestly can’t stand him, and you feel like he feels the same way. He’s just another arrogant jerk, and you vow that you will never be left alone in the same room with him. After the death of his mother, your family forces you to go over for support. To your surprise, he is good to you, and the two of you start talking. It turns out; he always knew his mother was sick, and he was the only one who knew. He promised to keep things a secret, he was just jealous that you had a mother. You tell him that it’s no excuse, and he promises that he will change and so will his friends. The thing is, he does change, but not when he’s around his friends, and that’s a big issue for you. If he’s willing to be your friend outside of school, why not during school. Why is he so ashamed? Will you ever find the courage to stand up to him?
Urban Your father owns a small shop in town when business starts to fall your dad sells to a wealthy man for 40/60. This devastates your entire family since you no longer have control of the company, but the man does allow the whole family to keep on working in the shop. Slowly, you all notice the small changes that are being made; you no longer play the same music, you are selling different items, and you go under a name change to promote better business. Day by day, you see how hurt your father is, and how he feels that he has let the family down. One night during the closing shift, the man comes in, and the two of you start talking. Once you get to know him better, you realize that he’s very sweet. He even offers to drive you home, when he drops you off, he gives you his number. The two of you start talking about forming a bond, but you must keep things hidden because your family hates the man who ruined their shop. You spend your entire weekends with him; he whisks you away on vacations so the two of you can be alone, will you ever have the guts to tell your family you fell in love with the man they hate?
A Secret Affair You're the big CEO of a company. Recently you and your wife have divorced, and you've gained custody of the kids. You find it hectic trying to be a good father and raising your kids without it interfering with your work. After discussing it with your ex-wife, you both find that a live-in nanny would be beneficial for the situation. You ask around your work, and someone gives you a reference number, you call and interview her multiple times over the phone. Since you are so desperate to find someone you decide to hire her, she was friendly on the phone, had the experience needed and provided you with strong references. A few days later she shows up at your house. You are stunned to see how young she is. Not only is she young, but she is also gorgeous, and you can't take your eyes off of her. As time goes by, you find yourself trying to be around her more, and making up reasons why you need to be alone with you. You can't take it anymore, you want to make a move but know that this will complicate your situation even more.
So there you have it, some awesome plots to get you started. I really recommend roleplaying, it's fun and since you're writing so much it's bound to help you improve your writing skills. If any of you fancy it, remember my inbox is open x
Hello everyone, Vintage here!

I personally always get excited when I hear about new competitions that nearly everyone can take part of! It allows the community to bond and share a form of happiness whenever competitions are announced.
Some competitions that have come up were the Appreciation Week event, SMT's Who Wore It Best Competition & Raffle, ET Dude Day's event & Sun Sign Competition, BT's recent competition (that is still going on), and VP's own personal contest! I would also like to include both SMT's recent event with the codes during Appreciation Week, ET's Sunday Giveaways, and the LE Weekend event hosted by our Admin!
All these competitions sure have been a big part of my summer, and I'm sure they have been for you too! Keep a look out for more competitions as they come fast and last for only so long! Have a great day everyone!
