Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character 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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

Honestly, as someone who loves to play OCs and has a good number of friends who also do but find it difficult to do in DWRP, I don't think this would necessarily be as niche or unpopular as others are saying.

I think there are a lot of OC players (or people who like to play both OC and panfandom but only do the panfandom aspect here) who might come out of the woodwork if the premise was interesting enough. One of the reasons Fade Rift has stuck around for such a long time is because it lends itself so very well to creating OCs in a way no other game on the site does (though it isn't OC-only and it also has the benefit of being in a very popular existing fandom setting, so it's definitely not exactly the same.)

I feel like the traction here might depend more on whether the setting filled an interesting niche people are looking for/not sick of, rather than whether it was an OC game, but that's just me personally.
