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.

no one is entitled to anything, that's right, but no one's saying legally grrm ought to be chained to his desk and forced to write a book, i'm just making a judgement of him as one human being to another as i would anyone else! i think he's lazy and unmotivated to put the work in to finish, but he also probably enjoys having an audience who loves his writing and therefore he likes to promise that the next book is totally going to be out next year (or the year after...or the year after). he has no followthrough–that doesn't mean he's a terrible human being, it just means that it's annoying when you're a fan of the series and per word of god you keep getting excited about something that keeps not happening

and while i'm certainly not saying that i could be grrm, because of course he's uniquely talented, being a writer at his level is in many ways a pretty cushy gig! yes there's a lot of pressure but in terms of the level of effort and work involved, after eight years with no book i'm pretty sure he's had a lot of free time. it's not an unfair expectation to wonder if he could put in some more work without having to slave away at it day in day out. or at least he could be honest about the work he's putting into it
