Did you ever roleplay in fandom? If so, what kind? Did you like it?

I varied from groups (Yahoo and LJ mostly), as well as a few small chatroom RPGs. I also had friends I roleplayed with one-on-one, and I liked those the best because it was more like co-writing a story.

The others were fun, but way too prone to drama. I don't think I left any on the best of terms. I especially hated it when two players would dominate the game so that no one else really had any purpose. I also had a random player tell me I'd done everything wrong and almost left, until I learned he wasn't an admin. (But he was friends with the admins, so they never told him off for it.)

Groups that are dominated one way or another by one or two players can be a problem.

I got into one game that was unofficially centered around one person, who claimed the game had no official mods but really, she controlled things because it was very clique-y. Because I picked up a character previously played and kinda continued it, I was marked as "trouble" because the player I was most playing with, the one playing my character's romantic partner, had been involved in some trouble previously.

The RP group I was in on Twitter for a while was really dominated by one player, and she came up with a lot of the plots, a lot of the drama came because of her, and when a RL incident knocked her out of play, it basically presaged the collapse of the whole group.

After that I retreated to one-on-one RP, with a friend who was less inclined to drama.

My friend and I used to be part of a big, wacky smash bros rp on lj. It was pretty lowkey and goofy and a lot of fun! But I was also more into forum rps, fandom or not. I really like fantasy oc stuff and was also super into warriors rp (like the cat books looool) when I was in middle school. I kinda miss my rping days sometimes tbh, a friend and I occasionally try to rekindle something but I think we're both much more self-conscious and perfectionist. It was easier when we were younger and unashamed of whatever dumb plots or characters we came up with.

I sort of know what you mean. I started writing more and more fanfic, and while my RP friends weren't more critical of the plot per se, I was more critical, which made it hard because I'd be like "well, this doesn't make sense." Looking back I was probably a bit of a buzzkill! It was just more fun when I was fine with doing off-the-wall stuff.

I tried once but I don't think it went well.

Oh yeah.

Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Dragonball Z were my trifecta of RP back in the day.

I'd totally do it again, if the chance to do it presented itself.

Occasionally. I've roleplayed Mairon/Sauron some and also roleplayed Celebrimbor a little bit. Mostly RPing with friends rather than general RPing as I never had time to get an RP blog off the ground.

Dragonriders of Pern RP was fun, if you avoid the drama-mongers. Unfortunately, there aren't any open right now that have what I'm looking for, cause everyone wants large word-count limits and separate accounts for characters these days (both of which I hate).

Just in WoW for a bit, which isn't really fandom RP. I was never any good at it.

Yeah, I was in the Good To Be In DC rp, a political themed real and imaginary people game (characters included real life world leaders like Bill Clinton and Napoleon, pundits, inanimate objects like atomic bombs, and just random characters and gods) back on greatestjournal after it moved off LJ; I think it was on greatestjournal, anyway. It was lots of fun, there were hundreds of players at one time, and nobody really minded if you did your own thing. I played a few characters. .

I was on a MUCK years and years ago.

Now I am an old fogey who still uses AIM to RP one on one script based.

been RPing on LJ and now DW since 2007. It's my main hobby, probably because I'm on the computer a lot for work and it costs me nothing to spend my evenings tagging back and forth.

when I was much younger I tried a little aim-chat RP but I felt weird doing it because the people who wanted to play had no sense of boundaries or IC/OOC divide and would just slip into a scenario with no warning.

In fandom no, it never appealed to me.

But I've done some silly mess-around RP with friends in WoW over the years, it's never long-term though because I'm not super serious about it.

I've been RPing on Dreamwidth for the past couple years, but I'm really slow and it's gotten a lot harder for me. I'd like to join an actual game again sometime, but I have to get out of this slump first.

I used to RP in chat groups, random forums, and later on Gaia. I used to love it, but then I got really busy with school and had to stop. I tried going back once I'd graduated, but most of my RP friends had dropped Gaia and the RP culture feels different, so I stopped trying.

I've done some one on one RP's with people, but it was mostly smut stuff. :p

I have RP'd on and off since at least 2003, with my main locations for RP being LiveJournal, before everyone shifted away from it, and Twitter, which I will again mention the value of such Twitter apps as TwitLonger and Twitshorter for longer-form conversations.
