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: ITT: RECOMMEND CANONS TO ANONS

fantasy canons that are also period dramas. Temeraire is already on my to-read list and I've really enjoyed Stardust, Howl's Moving Castle and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.

I'm fine with any sort of medium except video games. Please don't recommend any super long series though!

Barbara Hambly's The Rainbow Abyss and The Magicians of Night: half-trained wizard from another world travels to ours, winds up mixed up with a bunch of Nazi mystics (WWII era.)

She also has a series involving vampires set between about 1890 - 1910, beginning with Those who Hunt the Night. She's a historical fiction and fantasy author with an academic background as a historian, and so I think you may enjoy quite a lot of her fantasy -- the settings are heavy on historical detail.

Temeraire is wonderful and I hope you enjoy it!

It's technically 'steampunk supernatural-fantasy period drama', but try the Parasol Protectorate series (the first book in the series is Soulless, and it's by Gail Carriger). Basically, the main character can turn off the magical abilities of anyone or anything she touches. The local supernatural creatures (ghosts, werewolves, vampires, etc.) do not like this one bit. I will admit that it is a bit heavier on the 'supernatural' part than the 'fantasy' part, but it's still a fun read. The first series takes place in the 1870s, and the sequel series (still being written) takes place in the 1890s.

There's also a spinoff series that takes place about 25 years before the first series, but it involves entirely different characters (two of them do show up in the main series as secondary characters, but that's it).
