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.

so long as your tag isn't nothing but overly-long, naval gazing introspection, it's fine, because no one likes unspiced food.

but you have to remember it's still food, and has to serve a purpose. a tag needs a hook and something for a character to respond to, and by the nature of introspection, the hook can't be in there.

basically it's not about word count, it's about giving something to respond to. some extremely lengthy tags are all sizzle and no steak and no matter how interesting your introspection might be, it doesn't actually have a hook.

threads like these always give me those good ol' rp willies

i like to think that i always provide decent hooks in my tags, but i'm also aware that i feel most comfortable when my tags have a decent amount of padding (though usually not more than a small paragraph or two over my partner's tag length). i try to believe that if someone's struggling they'll mention it, but you know, dwrp, people never speak up about anything

let me improve for you!
