Rundown: 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.

the idea that you had to shoot the shit with people about non-rp topics in order to rp with them definitely wasn't, is my point. the option was there, but the hard demand for it was usually from high strung rp chihuahuas that got made fun of or avoided over it.

I never used game chatrooms and I never had anyone I played with have an issue with that or with me keeping things strictly rp related outside of polite smalltalk, and I did just fine in games.

i have a job where i already have to play social media pr a lot. i don't want to come home to more of this. it's a hobby. like yeah i don't mind interacting here and there oocly but ideally i'd like a 70/30 split between actually rping and socializing

Re: op

see, i think there's a difference between ooc chatter for games and for stuff like psls. i don't tend to do much ooc chatting for games outside of close cr and i don't care if the other people aren't interested in talking much either, but for psls I would definitely lose my enthusiasm if the other player wasn't interested in talking about our threads because it's a story the two of us are writing together? it's a lot more personal and intimate than a game and so i want to be writing that kind of stuff with someone who is just as excited about it as i am.

oh yeah, I'm not a big psl person myself so I definitely only have experience w games. if it was just you and someone else, the expectation for a higher level of ooc chatter is definitely there

totally get where you're coming from but a funny counterpoint/anecdote: my best psl was one that lasted 3 years where the other player and i didn't talk ooc at all (beyond the minimum administrative stuff like who would write the starter). we eventually became friends after that psl ended and now talk about non-rp stuff every day lol

i had a six-year one like that, worked like a charm. we didn't even pass starter ideas by each other, just honor system that if i started last time, you do this time, and check-in of "hey, that thread looks wrapped, shall i start another?" i think i broke pattern and let them know i was unavailable for a few days (we tagged multiple times a day so they'd notice) a few times, that was it. sometimes you just vibe with someone's energy ig.
