rpanons | I'm bad at this

Rundown:

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

a lot of standard panfandom jamjars with networks don't work out either.

yeah, but most of them do work out. just like how most of the things the anon listed here have been tried before and didn't work out that well.

so, we say, "i want to see more aus." someone makes an au. no one apps because "they want to see how things go first." or, in general, most people on dwrp don't care for the au/memloss scene.

basically, unless dwrp's preferences as a whole change, then you won't see the things you want to see unless you be the change you want to see.

idk, i think aus actually do fairly well, although they're always small games. there's undergrounds and brave new world and maybe another one that i forgot about (didn't we have one with superheroes?). i can only think of two recent-ish au games that bombed (the legend of korra one and the pacific rim one) and they were both fad canon settings (with strict adherence to canon) that came out when the fad was already declining. so i guess if you're going to start an au game, then it's better to use an original or very-loosely-inspired-by-canon setting rather than a strict canon setting. as for memloss, kyriakos is decently active, and it also uses a couple of other interesting elements that i haven't seen in many other games.

yeah, i know, be the change you want to see and all. i'm running an au musebox that i'm thinking of reworking as a public game, so maybe.

i quote again, most. and, the thing is, bnn and underground and already looking like they might stagnat with only having the same players and as a game you should want to have and welcome some fresh new blood at least.

as someone who has been in ecats memloss games, i can tell you they follow the same formula and it gets dull. it works for them, though, because they like it that way. it was fun for me at the time, but eventually it got dull which is why i don't play in them anymore.

i'm not saying, "don't do new things!" but if you want to see something done, then don't twiddle your fingers waiting for someone else to do it.

good luck to your au game, though. i'll hope it works out for you.
