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.

Re: ellen from the witch's house

man props for taking on ellen, the witch's house is one of my favourite games of all time

i think for most people, it's best to be up front for this sort of "my character is actually this character in another character's body" situation, rather than springing it on someone unknowingly, but that's where that sort of introspection in your tags comes into play. while it is definitely spoiling the end of the game, again it's an older canon and you can always use cut tags to warn for spoilers. but ellen's far from the only character who's possessing someone else's body out there in dwrp, there's no real policy on it besides being up front about it like any other character's history.

it's probably something you would note in the name section of the app, like "name: ellen (but will be refering to herself as viola)" and then explaining that in the history/personality section. and this is just me, but if i were to play ellen, i would still refer to her as ellen in prose but have her introduce herself as viola to strangers and answer to that name icly. that way the other characters know her icly as viola, and the other player's know her oocly as ellen.
