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've noticed some of my slower friends tend to second guess themselves a lot. I kind of throw a tag together and stick with my first instinct rather than making drafts and so on but that isn't 5e only way to go.

As my voice for a character gets better my tagging speed improves. Nevertheless, people are not going to notice if your character is not 100% on point unless it's egregious.

funny, i know a lot of speedy taggers who end up anxious later because they hate the tags they rushed out to "keep up", but most of the slow/medium people i know are always fine with what they've put out. rp has all kinds i guess

Re: RP WOES

that sounds like me as a slow-medium speed tagger. it's probably a perfectionism thing, but i won't send a tag unless i'm pretty much completely happy with it. there may be objectively better ways to rp, but it would bother me too much to have a bunch of stuff out there in public that i didn't feel was my best effort.

i'm a speedy tagger who is the opposite: a lot of times i'll send out a tag i'm kind of 'meh' on, but then when i look back at it later it's like 'that was pretty good, actually.' i feel way more unsure about my tags immediately after i've posted them than i do once i come back to them.

i also find that if i can put out a tag quickly it usually means i'm in the zone. the tags that take me hours or days to compose are the ones that end up feeling crappy because i've spent so much time staring at them and the writing has ended up feeling stiff and awkward.

i'm fast because i'm feeling the character voice and the idea. if i'm taking my time, it's always because i'm bogged down and something isn't feeling quite right (and never wholly does, but i just inevitably hit a point where i want to send something out).

[(Anonymous)]

da, but +1 to all of this.

This sounds like me... I don't do drafts but I do a lot of self-editing as I go instinctively (change this for parallelism, edit out that passive voice, break up this long sentence, restructure this paragraph to put a better hook at the end) so it takes longer than one would think for me to write a tag, lol

ayrt

yeah, and i don't think it's a bad thing! the only thing that i ever don't like about it is the few who like make themselves feel badly stressing. idc how long they take to tag me but i don't want them to feel badly for taking longer than i do!
