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.

How old is dwrp trending these days? Are any of the "old-timeys" from LJrp still floating around? Every now and again I revisit the thought of rejoining this hobby, but things feel different now.

late 20s to mid 40s

it's different if you're expecting everything to be as it was on lj, yes. slower, more insular, more obviously lefty

There are! Even a couple of games from LJ are still chugging along.

The culture's definitely shifted. For me, it's largely been for the better; more mellow when it comes to the creative side, but less tolerant when it comes to shitty behaviour OOC. As always, though, a ton of that depends on just who you're talking to and where you're playing. The easiest way to jump in now is bakerstreet, but it's pretty hit or miss. (One thing I do pine for is open museboxes/dressing rooms.) A lot of games have pretty elaborate TDMs, too.

It's just as multi-fannish, even if the fandoms themselves are different. How easy it is to get CR with a lesser known character varies as much as it always has.

A dressing room would be great. I'm surprised there isn't something more like that.

I come from the LJ days, circa mid-2000's

Things feel a little more flakey than they used to, but I chalk that up to most of us being older and busier

[(Anonymous)]

a lot more of us than you'd think, yep.

it's different in that it's a lot harder to find a game now, since most are private/invite only, and games don't blow up into 200+ character huge size anymore. you can't just rely on making a post on the network and raking in boomerangs all night anymore. which is fine, if you aren't the type to lazily wait for everyone to come to you for tags and cr.

You had me until "lazily" was used. Tell us how you really feel.

[(Anonymous)]

Would you like it better if it was "excitingly"?

[(Anonymous)]

yes

unless you’re coasting in from years of being popular and having friends at a game, or cheating by playing a super popular character, you’re going to have to grind for those tags
