rpanons | Can't wait to get a mouthful

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.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.

Concerns?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Unfortunately, I think only a minority of people who post in memes are interested in anything like CR. They want quick, context-less scenarios that are fluffy or cracky or smutty and that don't take any effort to develop or maintain. The players who would really be interested in some kind of a meme verse or storyline developing out of a meme thread are few and far between. (I think a lot more say they'd do it than would really follow through in practice.)

So crap like TFLN appeals to the majority not just because they don't want to have to think too much (I think the anon above is right about that part too) but because what they want to get out of posting to a meme is quick superficial fun. It's like cotton candy. It's sweet and looks big and pretty when you get it, but it's gone in a flash and doesn't fill you up at all.

That's why I post to memes. I just want some quick fun if my game is being slow or if I'm playing out a lot of serious threads and want a happy fix. If I want an actual storyline or plot, that's what my game is for.
