All the pretty little anons

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.

it is really exciting! my wallet is already hurting though, and i have to decide who i want to get albums for and who i don't, especially since they take up space i don't have, but at the same time i want all the nice photobooks :(

How do you guys deal with RL friends knowing about your fandoms?

Would you be okay with them reading your threads?

Your NSFW threads?

How far would you go to prevent your RL friends from tracking you down on the interwebs?

not at all, i think that's very charming.

I didn't even know the deets, but reading the mod post just reminded me how good these mods are. They handled it in the best way possible.

A bit of both, maybe.

While a preference post is good to see for reference, most players I have tagged don't bother, unless they use the journal for specific types of memes (so a preference post saying "I do not play [ship]" in a journal commenting on a shipping meme is important, for example).

It also helps for a journal to be set up with some kind of basic information. I don't need a huge navigation and pages and pages of stuff, I don't even mind if it's in the default layout. But things like the character's actual name in the name field, rather than some quirky one-word username in Latin or whatever, will make it more convenient at first glance. Using the Captain America example in OP, when people dump countless journals with Chris Evans as a PB on a meme, I'd like to know for sure that I am tagging/was tagged by Cap and not Evans in another role. Plus, as above anon mentioned, effort put into doing up the journal suggests effort put into playing the character.

my rl friends who are into fandom can do w/e they want, since they get it
my rl friends who aren't into fandom would never bothering looking into that stuff anyway

is this a hypothetical question or are you dealing w some stalkers

Im fine with my rl friends knowing my fandoms/that I rp and I mention it every now and then. I guess I'd be fine with them reading my threads, but none of them have ever expressed any interest in doing so. If they were more fandomy I might encourage them to join my game.

when you plan a ship, play out the build-up, the ship finally sails and all is golden

only for the other person to lose interest, leaving you longing to actually, you know, play out the ship beyond "yup they're together now"

i guess i can't blame them but i got pretty invested in it. wish i could move on just as easily as they did

wei shen from sleeping dogs. feels like i'd have to do research prior to playing him that i'd never be totally confident in.

Longest of shots as always, but if you've picked up a muse from the Five Nights at Freddy's novel The Silver Eyes, then I'd like to hear from you, please and thanks!

can someone link me to the mod post?

treat him as you would any other character and research as you go. leave your hmd up and be open about receiving constructive criticism

sorry to presume if this isn't about him being a chinese guy closely linked to chinese/hongkonger culture, but the 'i don't want to write (character) because i'm scared of writing (ethnicity) wrong' mentality just leads to no poc characters getting played ever. so seriously: just give it a shot. it'll be fine so long as you're receptive and trying.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
that would make my day, personally - I say go for it!

(Anonymous) 2016-10-03 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
where the hell are you shopping that you can't just pick up a single potato somewhere?

a rl friend and i are both into rp, but in separate parts of the internet

we give each other vague updates about our ships and plotlines on occasion, but apart from that, we mutually give each other space and never share the writing itself-- usually not even the names of the characters. no real reason why, except we're sort of both shy about it.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-03 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
I use separate e-mail addresses, writing styles, and names for all my online IDs. RP is the most far removed.

It's worked well so far. No one's found me out, and I plan to keep it that way. RP is my escape from the rest of the shit I have going on, I keep it as separate as possible and then some.
