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.

Re: ANONS, WHAT MAKES A GOOD RP WRITER?

Do your tags. Frequently.

Formatting doesn't matter much, you can find some kind of agreement pretty easily. Characterization doesn't matter much, so long as you're close enough to IC that your character is recognizable from the tags. Tag length doesn't matter much, so long as it's enough to keep a thread going. Everyone has different tolerances for these things, but in general most people are pretty flexible on them.

But tag speed is the number one thing that with absolutely, positively, without a doubt kill a thread. You could be the most IC player ever, with the most amazing tags ever, and it won't mean jack shit if you don't actually do your tags. Most players will just end up dropping threads with you and moving on to something else.

You should be replying to threads at least once a day, if not more. I don't set an amount for myself beyond at least 'once a day', but it is not uncommon for me to tag back in a thread 5 or more times in a day if the person I am playing with is on and tagging me back. Ideally, if you are following this plan, you should be meeting your AC requirements within the first week of the month. And you don't stop there. Keep threading, keep doing your tags.

I find that keeping a small number of threads going at once (5-10 total at one time across 2 characters) and finishing them as quickly as possible keeps me active in my game. Are there slow periods? Yes, sometimes. But if I'm personally on top of my tags and get them done as soon as I get them, then the threads go faster and I accomplish more in a game, which in turn makes people tag me because they know I am active and will thread with them.

TL;DR the absolute best thing you can do to make yourself a good RPer is to do your tags.
