YES.

Me, I love like, AU plots... you know, like, you change the character to fit the universe (and they've always been there) instead of like, oh noes worlds combined and we're lost omg! your world has magic lolz! crack! the "magic" in the world makes events happen! people randomly do OOC stuff because of it! or something. *eventual death of rp when that gets boring*

It's just... EVERYWHERE. But it seems so hard to get people interested/to get them to stay interested in anything else. >>"

We COULD if RPs didn't DIE on us all the time 'cause everyone else gets bored of the crack and leaves 'cause we never pay attention to the crack anyway!

I should look into this 1:1 thing. How do you go about like, randomly starting one? *dies*

[identity profile] grayout.livejournal.com 2007-03-23 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah but that like, already had a set universe and background and stuff, you know? Do you just like, randomly IM someone and go like "oh hey here's a background, let's play stuff"? >>"

*DIES*

Stranger IMs you with:

LOL VINCENT AND SEPHIROTH IN A BOYS LOCKER ROOM GO (IC)

*buttsecks*


THAT WOULD BE THE FUNNIEST THING EVER

People just want crack, and we want ACTION. Hell I'd be more than happy to play a proper developing friendship than one with crack reactions -anyday-

GOOD GOD, YES!! OH HOLY CRAP! ♥ WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT KIND OF RP?! I miss it like WOAH.

I don't mind much of anything, as long as everyone has fun and keeps things in character whenever it's fitting.

AUs can be a lot of fun if done well, but I find people just sometimes forget that AU does not instantly mean an OOC RP and it's hard to explain the difference to people. I love the idea of twisting a character around and thinking "Well, if this is how they would be in their original setting, how would they be in THIS kind of setting and how would I play it effectively?"

You're absolutely right though about how difficult it is to keep interest going. I'd love to see/start a RP more like that, but the fear of not finding a concept that would consistently bring plot ideas, keep people interested and keep new players them coming keeps me from that. Sob.

WE SHOULD START ONE. I WOULD PLAY.

And total agreement with the AU != OOC thing. I love doing the twisting them and giving them different backgrounds to-suit-the-setting thing -- as long as those backgrounds lead to like, the same personalities and stuff.

WHAT ARE YOUR FANDOMS.

You know what... yes, damn it, we should! Even if it fails horribly one day, it would SO be worth it even if there was just one or two AWESOME threads to start with!

Oh man, fandoms. A few and they're ALL over the place I'd be here forever... +_+;;; Userinfo and general questions for the win? :D;;;;;

Bleach, Death Note, KH(II), Ouran! are the ones we share, anyway! :D

I squee with squeeing! XD

I feel like dusting these fandoms off because they've had such little love from me lately.
