rpanons | You sound fat

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.

i've written some pretty popular smut fic in their respective fandoms, and someone came to me wanting to rp one of the pairings i wrote about. but... i don't want to, because when i rp i don't usually write in that same style or quality, since i consider rp a different kind of indulgence. is that weird? has anyone else experienced this?

idk i just write differently when im doing it "for an audience" as opposed to just between me and someone else.

Nah, you're not alone. RPing and writing borrow a lot of the same skills and have some overlap in my brain but RPing tires me out like ten times faster. It's that "you're in the character's present" feel, and that you're viewing the world strictly through their lens, and no you have idea what your RP partner's going to throw at you. I really enjoy that cooperative writing feeling.

But I also like the "having control over all the aspects of a situation" that writing offers. You have the room to tweak it endlessly and the time to re-think things when they aren't working out. I can explore what-ifs to their conclusions in the knowledge that I'm doing it on my own time, without dragging somebody who may or may not enjoy it with me. And that's enormously freeing.
