Not much to be baffled about! There's the same range of self-insert precious bab types to those who are here to have fun writing and maybe refine the characters we're playing with as we go.
I came to dwrp because I liked the format and I liked the quantity of other players... and I liked that for the most part the investment levels are lower than on IJ or on some forums. I wouldn't mind an OC-only game, but the setting would have to be more compelling than magical small-town USA or college island getaway to join, which was last where IJ was at. Forums tended to have a lower age demographic and the quality was lower.
I'm cool with others avoiding me for playing an oc, though if they've got a beef with me it'd be nice if they were willing to crit for it. I'm grateful for the folks who took the plunge to tag in. Been having enough fun here despite the quantity of anti-original character people to make it worth my while.
