Badly's an adverb

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: what do you think meme rpers should have in their journals?

I think it depends on the character. If it's an actual canon character, just a mention of 'xx character from xx' is fine enough to go look up what needs to be looked up. If it's ANY kind of AU, put that info somewhere. If it's a fandom oc, put that info somewhere. If it's just a general oc, put a little about them somewhere.

Pictures of pianos and lyrics to some emo song are not a profile.

Something so I know if I want to tag the character back. Maybe I don't want to play against a half-demon, half-orc character. Or maybe I do. But I'd like to know that.

inb4: 'but people don't know any of that off the bat when meeting someone', people have the bonus of knowing enough about a canon character to know if they want to tag them or not (usually) and they can make up their mind then. When you give someone zero information to go off of, well intended or not, it's likely that a lot of people won't want to tag, just because of the element of the unknown character.
