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.

Re: General: British Characters

-look at how the character speaks rather than how you think british people speak. if they call people "pet", use it. if they don't, don't. it sounds simple, but people often forget this.
-as she's a teenager, do a little research into the school system so you don't get her referring to her year as a grade.
-do research into margaret thatcher and miners because she'll likely knou ow all about that if she lives in a mining community.
-you don't need to know every corner of british culture, but if you don't know any tv shows outside of doctor who, it's worth looking up some trashy ones because teenagers love them.
-don't show off your knowledge if it's not relevant.
-also remember that even british people will understand a large amount of american lingo and culture (especially the sitcom friends because that's a staple of any british teenage diet).
