Love thy anon

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 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.
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.

Is there any way to indirectly reach people of the same fandom, like the tumblr tags system?

no. plurk is more akin to facebook in the social media scheme. people won't see what you post unless they go searching for it (and plurk search is always broken) or they have you added as a friend.

Generally speaking: no.

The only way I can think of is if you have a public account and someone else replurks your update, drawing attention to it on their own timeline. But that's the equivalent of, I guess, someone making a blog entry and quoting and linking to another blog's entry - you'd still need a friend who is so impressed by what you had to say that they'll replurk.

Basically, plurk isn't a tool for making new friends spontaneously, as much as it is one for keeping in touch with, or communicating with the ones you make due to extraneous circumstances (people you already know, people you acquaint because you exchange plurk account names since you played together in a meme, people on friending memes).

As a matter of... I guess, plurk etiquette? I strongly advise you against randomly sending friending requests to people whom you don't know, or haven't interacted with, even if you're in the same game. It's very weird when someone decides to friend everyone in their game based off the info on the taken list, even when they don't interact with their friend-wannabes on any level.

Duly noted on that last part. Thanks a ton.
