Chicken tendies

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.

anon above me sounds extremely jaded. i've seen some bad OCs, sure, but i've seen plenty of good ones around too and they always seem to get a fair amount of play imo as long as they're done well and their tags are giving others interesting stuff to respond to. there will probably be people here and there who ignore OCs just because they're OCs, but there are people who refuse to play with LA or anime characters or whatever so it's not really worth worrying about. if you're having trouble getting anywhere with an OC, resist the urge to get a victim complex about it (as i feel most people who complain about DW bring so anti-OC are) and instead consider that the issue might be more about a lack of hooks in your tags or cliched/bland characterization.

basically, just poke around for a game that seems to have a friendly atmosphere that accepts OCs and go for it. focus on finding a setting that interests you, and maybe aim for a smaller game if you're really worried about getting play with an OC - big games might offer more possibilities for CR, but it's also easier to get overlooked imo, while small games tend to foster CR easier since everyone knows they don't have as many options and can't be super picky about who they're tagging.

thank you for this! you raise a good point about people having certain preferences wrt la/anime too. this sounds like a good mindset to approach things with though. i'm not eager to ship my ocs with fandom characters or anything, i just want to try something new and write tbh so i'll poke around more to learn nuances so i don't turn people off from me. and i was looking at smaller games so thank you for this tip!
