As a player from Island, and as someone who has contemplated playing in serious boards for a while now, here's a few cents of thought:

One reason why playing in crack RPs is easy for small/obscure fandoms is because it helps gain exposure. When I picked up Giovanni in Island I was the only one who ever heard of Dogs at the time - and then something clicked, and suddenly we had the whole cast (pretty much) and now most of the players either follow Dogs, read it up, are members of the LJ comm or are just plain spreading the word. It helps tiny fandoms not get obscure because of the very "crack" essence of it keeps the "HEY READ THIS" sentiments from getting weighed down by seriousness.

Serious RPs require a lot of effort, and effort I'm willing to give, but that would also mean that I'd have to plump very deeply into characterization and stuff and so much more - make the character, in essence, real - that sometimes puts off on the whole "fun" aspect. And some of us don't have the time and resource to play any more than lightweight, lightbrain RPing. So yes, you're right, some RPers don't have the time, and it also may relate to preference, but what shouldn't be a downer is that with a serious RP you get players who really want to play that way, not just passer-by player who applied for the hell of it, got in and then left.

Which is sometimes a reason for mockery - we get a we've been wanting, and then the player drops after a week because they applied on a whim.

That said... I've run out of ending lines, yeah, I'm leaving this as it is.

IAWTC.

100% Agree, actually. Crack and Omni-fandom RPs such as Island help players get to expose their random-wtf-is-that fandom. Also, it helps for people who don't have places to play a character seriously to still be able to play it.
