you're so sweet zara, if you have any qs or anything just let me know!!

DANA-SENSEI I DO HAVE FEW QS! ABOUT RP /shot

ASDL;KFJAWER DO YOU!!!!!

I'M HERE IF YOU DO WANNA DIP YOUR TOES IN

UM ALRIGHT! SO! since I often see you rp with already estabilished charas I'll go with that

I'm not so confident with writing these charas in character but I'll try my best fhdjak

so uh fuuu I'm turn between who I wanna rp more

that's ok!! if you wanna play OCs that's also ok? i have a few friends who play OCs and whatnot

and if you wanna bounce between options that's also ok

for more casual rp - we use things called museboxes? they're dw communities that we use for our own purposes and we make posts for psls (private storylines) or open posts (often with multiple characters we wanna play, and people comment)

let me dig through mine to see....

oh! i made an idols open post bc i couldn't choose which idol i wanted to play but also here's the psl that i did with hiyori and yona as an example

so either one works! it's super casual

mmm so in that sugarcube comm, to I can make a post of the charas I rp and anyone is free to interact with them on the comment section...?

oh is it idol only in sugarcube?

sugarcube is just mine actually! you can make your own comm for your own stuff if you want

once you have a dw journal, you can make comms that you can manage

oh so that's only you? wwww so it can be a comm for my rp charas, regardless if they are canon ones or ocs?

yes!! it can be whatever you want

but to interact or up to date with your rp charas, i'd need to follow your comm too right?

nope, you can just hit me up on plurk and we can start a new thing. i only put stuff on my comm that i've already established. if i put something up on my musebox, then i'll announce it on my plurk

plurk is sort of where you do a lot of your announcing? like "oh, i put something up in my musebox here if people want to play with me"

ooh okay! via plurk for now, then... or is it better if I set up my own dw for this? sorry that I still find the rp thing kinda confusing @.@ and if I'd like to start an rp w you, do I start a post where it paints the situation of preferred scenario... or smth like that?

and as for charas I'd like to rp, it's between these three: op's sabo, snk's levi, and my oc mayu since I wanna explore their characters too

no you're super fine!! it takes a little bit to learn and catch all the terms

but yes - normally you make your own journals for this. there's normal one like. "player journal"? like one just for you, zara. you can normally mod your musebox (your community) from that.

and then you make separate character journals for who you want to play. so one for mayu, one for levi, one for sabo, and then you can put up an open post or start a psl

if you want to start an rp with me then we can talk about a psl we can do! so one of my charas and one of yours, and then one of us can start to write a scene

and then we normally respond in the comments

each response is normally called a "tag" so when i talk about "tags in my inbox" it means responses i have to do

does that make sense? feel free to ask questions, i'm happy to elaborate!

- also not related to rp but more re: dwrp/plurk culture but just letting you know it's super okay if you need to close commissions instead of taking waitlist spots sdf;lkj i know dwrp/plurk people can get a little pushy when asking about waitlist spots and i don't want you to feel like you have to take on too much!

but that's just me fretting a lil, bc i know you can take care of yourself and i don't want to overstep in giving advice

re: plurk culture oh no not at all, it's fine! I'm honestly grateful to have you looking out for me but I have to admit plurk fellas are pretty wild with commission that I almost forgot about the ones on twitter and tumblr lol

asd;lfjkasdf yeah of course!! everyone tends to get really zealous bc they love to commission art here but it's why i'm kind of extra like. it's okay! to say no! i promise!!

so i just wanna make sure in case you don't want to take on as many waitlist spots as you are bc i know you said they were closed or you only had 3 slots a while back so

it's... eleven in total now (cries) so I can't take it anymore than already, I know it's gonna take me more than three months to get through all that jdhfnsl

ok so re: dwrp gosh I'm slow at replying

is there... any example of your plurk post where I can reply to it as an rp chara to start the play?

asd;lkfjsdf YEAH i'm really happy that you got such a great turnout but i def don't want you to feel overloaded ever!!

hmmm!! do you mean an open post i already have?? i have one for baren and one for chiaki! i'm happy to link you either one anything i have besides those two is p. old s;ldjk

yeah that! may I see to get a gist on howbto start?

ofc! let me get themmm

so i've done it both ways!! and you can honestly do anything you feel like doing but

you can write your own prompts like i did with chiaki's - just scenarios where the other character is expected to react? and then you'll see in the comments people responding based on the number in the header

OR people pre-write prompts in things called "memes" (obvs not the same thing as normal internet memes laughs) based on a theme. i linked some and also just copypasted one in baren's open post

sweet that's helpful! I think I've seen the meme one going around a bit on tumblr

I'll try my hands on it when I get back home aaaaa excite

aaaa yay!! if you have an open post lmk and i'll throw someone on it. if you want i can ask some of my closer friends to hit you up too, but that's only if you wannaaaa
