I'm bad at this

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. 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.

you've already made a mistake

i'm joking but only sort of. dreamwidth rpers can judge very quickly based on first impressions and on shallow things, like icons and OOC typing style.

if you want to just get started, find a character you want to play, make a journal with icons that don't look like complete shit, and start tagging around. a lot of people won't tag back and/or will drop the thread within a few days, but it's usually not personal. most RP is in bracket format, with actions and narration in brackets ([]) and dialogue outside of them. if you can write semi-engagingly and play a character people are familiar with, you'll get a thread going eventually. DWRP can be hard to break into because people are insular and tend to stick with people they already know and RP with, but it's possible. do you have any questions that are more specific? "how it works" is answered in the RESOURCES link up above.
