I don't know if one exists...

But I guess something that's clear and easy to read is the most important thing. I can get past a couple of grammar errors, but sometimes people's shit looks so cluttered and unorganized. I immediately just want to stop reading because I hate trying to figure out what they're trying to say.

Another thing I hate is when people just start tossing a bunch of characters that I know nothing about into their story like they expect me to go back three weeks to do some research on their stuff. Stick with some core characters or at least give a quick back story on the important people that you are throwing in. People seem to forget that there's 20 or so different stories taking place every week.

Comedy is always a strong thing to have. I love when a writer catches me off-guard with a little piece of humor they've thrown in, especially when the rest of the RP deals with serious situations. You don't even have to be a funny person, just slip in some soft humor every now and then... It helps me from losing interest in the piece.

In back and forth arguments, I like to see someone who keeps attacking even if they're wrong or don't have much ground to stand on. It's totally possible, even if you're getting called out on your bullshit, to remain cool and confident about your beliefs. If you're gonna run with bullshit then embrace it.

Reference history when it comes to XWF or your opponent's history. I like when people bring up a character's history (whether it's story or in-ring stuff), especially if it goes beyond "well I beat you three months ago."

Collaborating with other members is always a plus. Just try not to focus too much on the other members since your character should be the main character.

Show off the strengths of your character by going beyond your wins. Yes, you got a victory over Crimson Dong but what makes that win important to you? For example, you could say that no amount of training could have prepared you for a wrestler as unorthodox as The Crimson Dong.

I don't know what else... I feel like this is more of a suggestion post than a guide to crafting the perfect RP.
