Roleplays Are Not Fanfiction

There seems to be a bit of an issue when it comes to nonroleplaying blogs reblogging roleplay threads. So I am going to try and explain the difference for you so that you don’t get confused.

A fanfiction is a short or long story that one writes about characters and shows they enjoy. They are able to be shared and liked and enjoyed by many. Authors don’t care if you reblog their fanfictions. Hell, they’re thrilled when you reblog them! I don’t know about you, but if someone reblogs a fanfiction of mine I tend to see if they wrote anything cute in the tags to see if they liked anything. I live for when my stories are shared.

Roleplay threads are a sort of story, where two writers, portraying characters that they enjoy or created themselves, come together for their characters to interact. It may look like a story, especially if you find a good thread where the responses are paragraphs and in depth and amazing, yes I love reading those threads.

Roleplayers don’t mind if their threads are read by others. They don’t care if you press the little “like” button.

 But what they do care about is whether or not you leave the thread alone.

Roleplaying is between two people. The two people who are acitively writing the thread together. It belongs to them, no one else.

 If you reblog it, you’re asking for trouble because,

a) You have nothing to do with the thread.

b) You are not a part of the thread

c) You are messing up the roleplayers’ notifications, thinking they got a reply only to find that, nope, it was just some asshole reblogging the thread all willy nilly.

If you reblog a roleplay thread, then there’s a good chance the roleplayer will get angry and send you a message demanding you delete the thread. Don’t get a stick up your butt because of their reaction, you brought it onto yourself. Does a roleplay thread really look like a vastly unfinished fanfiction? I doubt it.

If you reblog a roleplay thread, the roleplayers will get upset and block your sorry ass, and, if you don’t delete the part you reblogged, will have to actively delete the thread and start over. You know how fucking annoying that is? It’s so annoying and it’s completely unfair. You could be ruining days or weeks or even months of work the roleplayers put into the thread.

So, what have we learned from this?

DON’T REBLOG ROLEPLAY THREADS.

I will leave that entirely up to you, m’dear :) I’m down for anything really

If we ever get around to it, we really need to interact again someday, Riddle Dear. I miss writing with you.

I ABSOLUTELY miss writing with you. You’re brilliant. :) I’ve been kinda just chilling in the background for a while, but I wouldn’t mind plotting something out with you or even continuing our other plans. :)

Shout out to writers...

getting pulled away from their writing because of responsibilities re: work, family, school;

dealing with illness (their own or a loved one’s);

keeping their writing a secret because of unsupportive or insensitive people in their lives.

Every moment you’re able to write one more word, one more sentence, is worthwhile. Thank you for pushing on.

This is your friendly PSA reminding you that it’s okay to like a villain. It’s okay to sympathize with them, especially if they’re written to be sympathetic. It’s okay to understand their point of view and motivations. It’s not okay to excuse or overlook the bad things that they’ve done, but it’s okay to be fond of them.

ON VAMPIRES;

alright friends. So I do have a lot of ideas on this topic. I know JK has alluded that vampires DO EXSIST in the HP verse, but has not gone in to detail about them as they did not tie in to the original story line. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I’ve formulated my own thoughts about what vampires may be like in the harry potter verse, let me know what you think!

→ BASED ON what we know about other aspects of the HP world ( eg, blood being present in various rituals and sacrifices among the dark arts ) I think it is fair to say that vampires are incredible DARK beings. Even more so than a dementor/threstral/grim might be. I’d believe that vampires are seen as the LOWEST and most gruesome creatures that exist. Based on my own headcanon, I would say that even being so UNFORTUNATE enough to cross paths with a vampire is a SEVERELY wicked & EVIL omen, as they are seen as the most vile and nefarious creatures of the dark. They’re by no means PLEASANT–and I’d believe that a human’s transformation into a vampire is a HORRID one, and similar to that of a werewolves in the sense that they have no recollection of their human life. Vampires function as separate entities from humans. && the ministry can merely ESTIMATE how many of them actually exist. Unlike a WEREWOLF, there is no registry for vampires since they do not go back to their human life once they’ve been transformed. They do not integrate back in to wizarding society. IT HAS BEEN speculated that a handful of MISSING witch and wizards may have fallen victim to the hands of a vampire–but there is no REAL WAY to locate them as their transformation creates an entirely new being only vaguely recognizable by those who knew the missing person. Even so, family members would rather believe them to be DECEASED than discover that they’ve been turned in to such a WRETCHED BEAST. The SLAYING of a vampire is seen as the HIGHEST HONOR, since most witches && wizards do not survive their encounters, and those who do live a life of contempt & social exile. That being said, it is not something that is brought up in CASUAL CONVERSATION. Vampires are seen as an incredibly evil & dark creation, even witches and wizards involved in the dark arts do not DISCUSS them so idly. No one in their right mind simply SEEKS THEM OUT, && those who do are among the DAMNED.
