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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

I started a somewhat slower meme thread against a stranger using a character that is somewhat new to me. Since the start of that thread, I've gotten what I think is a better handle on the thread via some faster stuff/reviewing/metadumping/etc, and I think I would have aimed the thread in a different direction if I had the grasp on the character that I do now before.

In this situation, would you stick to the same thread just for practice to try and challenge yourself to turn things around into what would make more sense icly for your own character, or would you ask to start a new one? I'm undecided myself.

fwiw I do believe the other person has been playing their own character longer than I have and seems to have a solid grasp on their character from the start, it's a completely and 100% my-own-character thing, which is why I wonder if i shouldn't just stick with it since it's me that has to make adjustments and not them.

god damnit i meant better handle on the character, not the thread, sorry.

i have no confident in any of how i write my characters so i'm in this boat pretty frequently, nonny! if you feel too self conscious or the vibes aren't working for that particular thread, i don't think there's anything wrong with dropping it and hitting them up with a fresh thread elsewhere (and since this is memes, you probably don't even have to ask. personally, i'd be more than happy to get a repeat customer regardless of how our last thread went)

forcing something doesn't seem like it would be fun or conducive for a better adjustment period for you, anyway

i tend to be a "challenge myself" writer, myself, but there's no harm in coming to them with an idea for a new thread that both of you will have more fun with

it will go down better if you already have something new in mind to start, i think. avoid giving them the opportunity to believe it's a them problem if it's a your character problem.

This is such a reasonable question and I like how considerate you clearly are of your partner. You sound delightful.

If I was writing with you I would want to know your feelings, what you would like to try instead. Personally I would rather know my partner’s needs so I can meet them.

Tell them your thoughts!

+1 to all of the above.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

thanks for the input, anons! when i get back to it i'll probably end up both replying to the thread and offering a new thread, just in case. their last tag introduced a new aspect to the thread, so i don't want to shoot that down immediately, and i definitely appreciate the input.
