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.

this is defo one of those 'your experiences are not universal' things because i only play cross canon and am drowning in threads on bakerstreet

there are definitely demographics that are less interested in cross canon, though, but again, this is personal experience

in my experience comics, animation and videogame players are much more cross-canon friendly (barring new, big shinies), while live action and animanga is 50/50

the live actions i have the most success with are the star treks. but i play from a sci-fi video game so ymmv

[(Anonymous)]

the star treks are the BEST

it helps to put what canons you are familiar with in your permissions

i noticed a significant uptick in interests/tags when i specified what genres/canons i'm familiar with, as well as writing up aus (how my character would fit in a specific universe)

this might be too much for some people though. not for me because i enjoy that sort of thing (tabletop rper)

thread op and omg you're a genius. i enjoy that sort of thing, too, so i'll definitely have to implement this!

obviously you don't have to do this but keeping it neat helps too, either as a collapsible menu (example: https://bigplace.dreamwidth.org/2528.html?thread=3040#cmt3040) or as replies with the canon as the subject to a top-level comment titled AUs

i've found that people in memes want to rp but they also don't want to waste their time. stating clearly that yes you are familiar with their canons and yes you're open to x, y and z has never hurt me. also if you have an au reference up act like your character belongs in their canon, reference their canon. people are more compelled to rp with others who are familiar with their canon, it's a compliment thing

thanks for this tip! i've been pretty thorough with permissions but never even had a passing thought that people might want to know what i'm already familiar with tbqh
