Rundown:

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.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. It doesn't look like DW can handle 5,000 comment entries at the moment so please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.

I can only speak for myself, but as a 30+ RPer I find it hard to get into/stick with journal RPing because it tends to feel like such a time sink. I used to be fine with spending all of my free time RPing, but at some point I started feeling like I was chained to my computer and just wanted out. Nowadays I feel a mix of envy and agitation at RPers that are so into it that they drag their laptops to school or post on their phone at work just to "keep up."

I don't think I'll ever grow out of RPing itself (I still love this one forum RP I frequent and museboxing with friends), but I don't think LJ/DWRP will ever be "a thing" for me like it used to.

I love RPing as much as I did when I was a 20-something, but I have so many more responsibilities now that I have a hard time justifying spending more than a few minutes each day playing online.

Different 22-anon here. This is exactly what terrifies me about growing up.
