rpanons | All the pretty little anons

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.

how do i get back into writing for rp, anons? i feel so uninspired these days

You don't. It's all downhill from here.

Signed, someone who hasn't been able to reliably do game tags for 4 years now and just does PSLs and memes exclusively.

i keep telling myself i'll quit flaking out but i just can't do games anymore even if i'm hyped for the character, hyped for the potential cr, and interested in the premise

this is me. it's even worse because i keep joining games, flaking within a month and then feeling so embarrassed that i don't ever want to app to a game again.

there's a character i really want to play but i know i shouldn't even bother because i'll just idle out after my intro

Yep. I have no idea how some people still do it but I'm envious because I miss all that panfandom CR in a structured and continuing environment.

But I've lost interest in less than a month too many times. I just want to do other things than my game tags, usually. I guess I'm looking at my RP history with nostalgia and it's just not feasible anymore for me.

that's exactly how i feel. i really miss roleplaying and for that first day or two after being accepted into a game, i'm really excited. but then i just stop tagging and can't bring myself to do it. shit sucks.

we're growing old anon

It's extra weird for me because I get to my PSL and meme tags just fine.

Not sure why the game atmosphere demotivated me so much when it's what I want...

Probably because meme and PSL threads are seen as throwaway fun, while games are more serious. Which yes, is attractive for some of us, but it's also extra pressure to do well.

I guess that's it. I just don't care enough to want to be the best most IC whatever character I didnt make, and I hate making people wait for my tags when things like a game plot are "more serious".

I just can't do the stress over a dumb hobby thing anymore.

idk i quit for two years and now im getting back into it and i feel fresh and inspired again

maybe take a really long break? worked for me

oh also i quit plurk/most ooc contact outside my already established long-term friends and that's helped a lot too. it's not like i didn't enjoy talking to people, but i found i would talk about roleplaying more than i would actually... roleplay... like we'd talk out a whole thread and then have no motivation to actually write it.

don't force it or feel like you have to. ime a lot of the people who have longterm trouble are the ones who'd be happier doing something else for a while (a different type of rp, vidya, writing fics, something less nerdy) but just keep on doing the exact same thing because idefk why.

Find a friend, see if any of their muses are interesting against yours, and if they are, see about boomeranging a thread for a few posts.

If you don't currently have anyone handy, let us know what kind of character is floating your boat right now, maybe we can generate some simple, quick thread ideas.
