good luck to your dad on his path to downton abbey BNFdom

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.

if it's a world you wrote entirely yourself: original character

if it's a character you wrote entirely yourself, in an established media world (like lotr or doctor who): canon OC

good luck!

Just out of interest:

Is OP talking about a world they created themselves, that has become an established media world?

Like say OP is Philip Pullman and this OC is Lyra from HDM. Does he app her as an OC or an established character?

I've always wondered.

i feel like this has come up before, usually with webcomic creators, and the answer was app as OC.

for something that's big-name media, you don't tell anyone because that's a terrible idea

for something like a webcomic, most people would expect you to app as an oc. in part this is historically due to people drawing their characters twice and claiming it as a canon to get around "no OC" rules.

but it is tricky because some comics are just enough at the tipping point between popularity and not where their creators and fans could both conceivably be here.
