Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

I've been away from dwrp for a while now and considering jumping back into memes. I was looking at the previous rpanons post and saw people saying that they like when characters posted to memes have a permissions post.

What sort of things go on a permissions post? Any other information and advice about permissions posts would be great as well.

Thank you so much!

anon above me linked some stuff that has a lot of the 'usual' stuff like backtagging, triggers, cross-canon, threadjacking, etc.

but some other stuff i think is always nice to see on people's permissions posts is specifically mentioning if they're open to cross-medium and their tagging style including if they're prone to shorter/longer tags. your permissions posts don't need to be super long and like a novel, but i think it's important to try and give a quick idea of what you're open to and looking for when you write them to save everyone some time. i personally try to write mine in a way that gives some additional emphasis on things such as negative cr or fight scenes to give people an idea of where my interests are and where i'm open to things but have some sort of limitation even if i'm down to play it.

basically, include what you think you need to include! even if it's not something you usually see in a permissions posts, doesn't hurt to add it if you think it's important. definitely recommend clicking around on people's journals on memes to see what kind of stuff they list as well.

i honestly keep mine really simple with four categories:

1. one-two line summary of the character + link to wiki (i'm fortunate enough to have that for most of the characters i play)
2. any major content warnings regarding my characters
3. any red lines on my side
4. lastly, i list some types of scenarios (whether genres or outright scenes) i'd be really into playing with this particular characters.

you can add as much or as little as you're comfortable.

I've personally found it more useful to stay away from the backtagging/violence/whatever template and have sections for what I actually do want: ships I like, themes or threads I'm looking for, crosscanon I'd be jazzed about, etc. the bare-bones template a lot of people use is more geared toward games, imo, and on memes you'll get a lot more bites if you offer more information to start with.

the above are really good, and i think it's also helpful to include what kind of relationsihps your'e looking for like if your'e only wanting to play with canonmates, or you're only looking for found family, or only shipping, or you're not into [insert medium or relationship style here], etc

I love rereading old threads from previous fandoms but I noticed that my thread partner from back then has locked the entry in her musebox with our stuff on it... would it be weird to pm her and ask if she could unlock it again? we used to be friends on discord but she eventually deleted me because our contact fizzled out.

If you use American English IRL but write a character who uses British English (or vice versa!) how much do you focus on spelling in your tags? Do you use the character's preferred English across the board (in their narrative, in their speech or texts) or not?

Just curious about general preferences.

TIA!

a theoretical: You want to play a character from a rare canon, except this character has a canon romance, and there's almost zero chance you will ever encounter someone playing their romantic counterpart. But you still want to play them, and you like ship threads, and you know you'll only ever get cross-canon ships. Do you:

a) take them from a canon point before they were in love with this other character
b) take them from whatever canon point you like, acknowledge they're in love with this other character, and have them realistically work through the whole scenario of falling in love with this cross-canon character while still being in love with their canon romance
c) take them from whatever canon point you like, and just sort of ignore the canon romance / make the whole thing very vague

I tried reaching out to the [personal profile] pslcall mod a while back but didn’t hear back.

Does anyone else miss the comm? I got more threads from people I met there vs. EMP, but I’m curious to hear what other people think.

If I made another comm similar, do anons have any name ideas? Any suggestions on how a new comm could do things differently this time?

Just a question of etiquette. There's a plot being run in one of my games by a player rather than the mods. It started two months ago but due to the holidays and then life blowing up in my face, I've only gotten back to regular tagging speed now. If I tagged in, do you think I'd get any play at this point? Or would it seem tacky to only now be getting around to poking at people's TLs or making my own? The game is glacial slow as it is and I'm still tagging stuff from six months ago if that's any help.

I always see people posting in their permissions "feel free to poke me if I don't reply, I probably lost the notif" and stuff like that but...

Do people really do that? With strangers, or just with friends? What do you even SAY bc it feels so rude...

just prompted by discussion in rp woes, what games are out there that are time-limited? whether they're private or otherwise; a time-limited and more focused game like that sounds really fun and like something i'd be way more into committing to than an open-ended game, but i don't think i've ever seen one advertised or even talked about by name.

I saw the ad for the new monster transformation game, and I’d like to know more about these sorts of games but I’m not sure what to ask, exactly. I’ve never been in one.

Do games like this usually have some form of permanent transformation?

Anything you like/dislike about monster transformation games in particular?

Where can I find PBs who aren't white who aren't modern, but also aren't fantasy? I need an Asian PB from circa the 1920's and I am honestly getting quite baffled on where to look. I apologize if this is an annoying newbie question. I used to play on tumblr and mostly did characters who were from video games or anime, so playing one from a novel has presented me with some new challenges in terms of finding icons.

Also! Since the author based the character loosely on Sessue Hayakawa, would it be okay, if I couldn't find another PB, to use him? He was an actor, after all, and actors being used as PBs is pretty standard. I just don't know what the consensus is on using PBs from the black and white era. I know people on WG complain about other people's icons not being good enough quality a lot. I wouldn't want that to impact my ability to get tags. Any insight people have would be really appreciated. Thank you!

What's the overall consensus on malleable protagonists in DWRP? Hero of Ferelden, Shepard, Warrior of Light, Tav/Durge, etc? I'm surprised because my old stomping grounds despised characters like these. They were considered glorified OCs and that you'd be better off making your own.

I'm unsure if anybody knows but this manga recently came out called Drama Queen and i want to play one of the main characters on Dreamwidth but I'm a bit wary ngl. There has been a lot of negative backlash against the manga because some people consider the story xenophobic/racist in nature due to the way the story is currently being presented. I'm curious to know if anybody else feels the same way???

this also ties in with what i said previously- would it be weird to rp this character on here?
