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.

anons, i started a psl with someone because they volunteered to play a ship with me. i love this ship and it's all i really want to play, but after tagging with them for some time, i've discovered that i don't particularly enjoy how they play/how they're playing this out. they're not a bad player! i just idk, it didn't turn out as well as i'd hoped.

i get pretty anxious about contacting other players so that's why i haven't just asked them about it, plus they're the one that volunteered, so i didn't want to step on their toes or anything. i probably should just ask about plotting details, but we're already kinda far? idk. it just sort of turned out to be a disappointment and i don't know what to do with it right now :/

plus, since it's a ship, i didn't want to stress the relationship too much by trying to push it. but it's just gotten dry.

I would just say to them that you're not feeling the ship anymore at the moment, and see how they react to that.

come up with some alternative ideas and casually mention them. Or mention that you're open to trying alternative plots or ideas, maybe keeping the ongoing story line but beginning an AU or something as well. Ask them if there's anything they've always wanted to do with the couple but never did and have some of your own answers for that prepared as well. If they're a good writer and you enjoy the way they write their character than it's just a matter of finding ways to make it click. Best way to do that is to start a dialogue. For all you know they could be feeling the same way and avoiding for the same reasons you are. I know if I were the other half of your ship I'd want to know rather than have you keep dragging yourself to tag just because you felt obligated.
