Uhh

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.

A canon I don't know is still something that's been vetted and gone through the editorial process, been published and (if it's popular enough to be RP'd from) become successful. Sure, that doesn't mean it's good, but there's an element of quality control there.

That said, I'm not entirely against playing with OCs, but so far I've never seen one that's caught my interest. I keep trying to pinpoint why, but I haven't quite figured it out.

I've played with a couple interesting ones but they're few and far between.

> Vetted through the editorial process

...But Twilight and 50 Shades still exists. The quality control is about as hit or miss as app quality control. You can't tell me you think those are quality at all.

yes....? the fact that some of the stuff that gets through is still crap doesn't mean it's the same as the raw slush pile.

The fact is the only difference is one is published and the other's not. If your app mods were any good, the OCs that get in would be good, too, and not, as you seem to think, OMG 100% TERRIBLE WORSE THAN TWILIGHT!!!!

...where the hell did ayrt even say that, though?

Honestly, it's overly defensive OC players like you that make me not want them in this game.
