OK I FEEL THE NEED TO ADVERTISE D:

[livejournal.com profile] landels_damned <- best RP ever. Beautifully structured multifandom.. and just.. just.. awesome @_@ The plot's run so very well.. and every character's a part of it, and it's the best RP I can say I've ever been in..

Here's the premise (and taken straight from the ad.. cause I'm dreadfully lazy on occasion) -

Your character wakes up in the white room of a mental hospital, their items taken, their powers dampened, and their clothes replaced with a strange grey uniform. A nurse comes in and tells them that their entire life is the product of insanity, a fabrication of their imagination.

However, hushed conversations with other patients soon make it clear that to believe such a claim would be idiocy, and that Landel's Institute resides far from the realm of normalcy that it so zealously advocates for. The days--with kind nurses, friendly announcements, and activities for patients to participate in--disguise a sinister side that remains clear to those entrapped by it even as its purpose remains a mystery.

The sinister side manifests as a dangerous reality when the lights go out. The doors unlock and the patients find themselves faced with nighttime incarnations of daytime entities: Animals grow in size and acquire a taste for blood, nurses become hideous abominations that attack unruly patients, and the man on the intercom reveals his true nature as a sadistic ringleader who taunts those who would dare mock his power.

It is under these conditions that your character must do whatever it takes to survive. Fight monsters. Look for items. Make alliances. Break alliances. Make enemies, and perhaps attempt to break those as well.

The patients of Landel's aren't insane.

But at this rate, they will be.

Not to say anything bad about the RP or anything, but I think that's exactly the kind of RP the three of us are trying to avoid.

"Your character wakes up in [location] and has no idea how they got there! Oh no! Everyone's confused and tries to figure it out!" <- I mean, the basic, basic premise is exactly the same thing as all the others. >>"

Perhaps, yes. But~ at the same time, the style of writing there seems more like what I'd like to see in a RP-sense rather than one-liner crack =O

misu, posting from RP journal, sorry I'm so lazy XD

Well, from what I saw, you were looking for a non-AU multifandom. Landamned isn't AU, and it's terribly (hugely) structured. The RP quality is top-notch.
I went through lots of RP communities recently to see if I could find something better, and most of them just let the character do whatever he or she wants without any structre... which kinda pisses me off.

But yeah, the basic premise is the same. But ... plot elements at Landamned = so good! they really have a riveting plot, and the STs work really hard to make it good for everyone. It's not just character-driven, I guess.

Right now we're doing Nightshift, which is a little less structured, but yeah. It's just.. unique.
