As the admin of several Pern RP sites I have to agree what most everyone has said on this topic. Wanting to play your brainchild is perfectly valid, but you have to understand that just waltzing into a site as a new member and expecting to automatically be allowed to play gold-ranked isn't possible on most sites. With the higher ranks come actual site responsibilities like modship or co-adminship - usually, not always. Admins want to choose responsible people for those positions and responsibility is shown through sticking around for a while. Granted, you can always find a site that is just starting up and snag a goldrider position that way. The fandom has been slowly dying, so it might be a bit tough to find sites.

Someone mentioned that the traditional sites are the elitist and it's true. Members of non-canon sites tend to be a lot friendlier and open to things. I play on both kinds of sites and I used to hate the 'rainbows' and whatever else, but frankly, I just prefer the people on non-canon. And also yes, people who jump onto sites and say they want to play gold are usually looked down upon very quickly. It's frustrating when everyone and their mother join sites and beg to play gold and then leave when they can't. It's difficult to keep the ranks of the lower colors up, so everyone with a ranker is required to play them. At least on my sites they are.

But if you'd like, OP, I could point you to some sites or RP with you myself. Feel free to message me - I always love seeing well thought-out characters. (I see a lot of crappy ones, believe me.)

Yeah, I worded this secret in a really bad way.

It's the attitude I've gotten through these weyrs that make me not even want to bother with some of the other characters I've thought up. Not wanting to hand out golds like candy makes sense. Vilifying a person because they want to play a gold is just not necessary.

I'd love if you could post some links to places... I've never RPed before (largely because of this issue, which I've let leak over into my feelings about RP in general). Even the non-canon ones, if the people are better.

I really do want to try this character out. Maybe I'll find a place eventually.

Oh well, you only worded it how most people in your position feel. And by "most people" I mean "intelligent people."

The attitude is really pretty crappy, I'll agree with that. I'm very fortunate to have a place where all kinds of characters are welcomed, though most people will vilify queen hunters. The only thing I can say is let people know that you're open to playing things besides gold.

Links links links...hm. Just browse through here (http://z9.invisionfree.com/Liberas_Weyr/index.php?showforum=32) - it's a list of places on my site. Well, not technically mine anymore but LONG STORY. The list includes both canon and non-canon.

And if you can't find a place, like I said, I'd play with you if you don't mind some one-on-one. Or you can just vent at me about the people you find on your search.

Thank you for the link!

I think I may be a little more openminded to the non-canon ones, just because of your comments. Nice people = win.

I may also take you up on the RP/rant thing eventually.

No problem! If you can't decide between some sites or for whatever reason, I can hand out links to actual sites that I've seen and liked.

And yay! I mean, don't get me wrong, there are some great traditional sites out there, but the majority of good ones are a bit elitist. Though once you get in good, everything's great.

Anytime, dear.
