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.

lately i feel like you have to spend a lot of time gushing oocly about your characters through cr/plotting memes and the like in places like plurk to get any traction…and i don’t like it. you put in all that effort and still get only 10% of that back. i want to rp, put that energy into rping not freaking network to death

Nonnie I have recently tried a plurkless approach to my new game and I have better traction than ever. You have to be serious about hitting up monthly plotting and be proactive but it can be done.

don't do it if you don't like it. plenty of people don't use plurk and still get enough tags and cr. believe me, if you're just going along with it because you feel obligated it's probably very obvious (and offputting). nobody wants to hang out with someone who doesn't want to be there. set yourself free, anon!

nah i barely even look at my plurk or interact with anyone regarding rp there, mostly rl or fandom only

the answer is mostly to tag out and take note of which players always tag back, discard any flakes no matter how interesting their character seems

you'll get more traction and less frustration that way

you won't get a lot of rp by catering to people who spend all day gushing on plurk at each other tbh

i don't think this is true either.

plenty of active and outgoing players also babble on plurk, but so do plenty of flakes. plurk activity has very little predictive value either way.
