I kind of agree with Mythis. I think scripted storyline may be considered more of an artform, but I tend to look at actual interactive RP as something a bit different.
To draw a comparison, I may go out on Friday night, shoot some pool with friends and have a few beers, cut loose, relax, etc. It's fun, yes. But is it really an art form? I don't really perceive it that way (although some of those difficult pool shots may seem like it!!) I tend to think of RP along the same vein. It's fun and relaxing, and while it may be an expression of my own personality, I don't really feel it's 'art', at least not in my opinion.
This is all very subjective though. If you don't mind my asking, what makes you ask this question?
