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.

Concerns?

I do this, but it's generally because writing "she" and their name a million times in one post just looks even worse than "the blonde" or "the ninja" ever do.

No, they really don't; as long as it's not a 'can't tell what's going on' thing with two characters of the same sex or something, "she", "he", "said" and the like are things we as readers are just trained to gloss over. It's awkwardly trying to avoid using them that sticks out like a sore thumb every single time.

As an addendum, I read a published story recently by someone with a background in writing fanfiction. It was confirmed in the 'about me' at the end, but I could tell just from reading the story, just because they did this.
