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.

i think i *might* be your rp partner! is there a desk involved?

but whether that's true or not, don't worry! my trick is to find some great music for the scene, get in the right headspace. i try to cover two things in every tag: first, how does everything that's happening make my character feel, physically and emotionally? what are they thinking (if they can)?

and then, what are they doing? hands, posture, mouth, expression... cover as much as you can, to give your partner a lot of great options to respond to. feel free to be lush with your descriptions of sounds and sensations.

not op, but there's a desk involved in mine and i have to wonder if you're my partner.

if that's the case, i really hope you take your own advice. i don't write much smut and you're definitely experienced in it...but my tags are more descriptive and full of hooks and things to reply to. i feel like i'm rp-ing with an aim bot or someone with their hand down their pants.

da but, what even this comment? are you a troll trying to shit up someone else's psl or are you legitimately too socially stunted to talk to your rp partner in person? wtf

an aim bot? wtf?

are they too busy snapping on to you and headshotting you before you get a tag in?

Are you joking?

This isn't even convincing shitstirring

Be more subtle, go for vaguely dissatisfied but unwilling to elaborate, it's more believable in this context

(Anonymous) 2017-02-12 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Lmao bless you anon I laughed

What kind of person sees OP and goes "yep, must be me!" based solely on the incredibly vague description OP gave (my partner is amazing at smut tags and I'm not)? Do you really think you're that great? What an obnoxious snowflake. You probably write the same shitty purple porn everyone else does.

who knows ...it might be! (✿◕‿◕) or might not... (◡‿◡✿) it's impossible to say, since we're all anons here

Thank you for suggestion, and for being so patient with me. I appreciate it a lot!

one day, hopefully! Your music advice is really, really amazing. I've already started to compile a spotify playlist and I can feel how it helps in setting the inspiration.

I'm glad you find it helps! I realized it did a lot to help me keep tone consistent over a scene, too- and my tags without music are often not nearly as good!

Best of luck, nonny!

you forgot one of the most important things. writing about your partner's character.

i've rped with people who don't do this and who then complain about getting their threads dropped. they focus entirely on their own character, how they feel etc instead of switching some of that focus externally. it's important to do so, otherwise it can feel like you're smutting in isolation and using the other character as a kind of prop.

your character is in a smut scene. ideally they're reacting or acting in part because of another character. this character is a pretty important aspect to your character right now. your character's perceptions of that character are also important. that's going to be part of the drive behind their actions or reactions.

it also acts as a bit of ego stroking tbh. rpers love hearing about their own characters in other's writing. it's just a thing. in the case of smut threads, it can help keep interest alive.
