The kid just rages for a while

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.

Though I'd been aware of LJ/DWRP for ages, I'd never really considered it my thing because I'd cut my RP teeth on OC RP over in other forums or on AIM or whatever, but then some friends in a really tiny obscure fandom led me over to Somarium so I could play in their bitty cast. It was fun for a while (read: like two weeks) but the character was just a really awful fit for Somarium's slice of life setting and one of my castmates was on me all the time about tags when at the time I was still in school and working full time. So I kind of bunkered down and idled out which was, admittedly, pretty shitty of me.

It did make me really wary of LJ/DWRP for a while though; I think it was a solid year before I tried again and got hooked.
