#rp writing would draw away from fanfic or profic writing

[aparticularbandit]

i’m not the original asker that asked about your rp comments tonight, i’m a second asker. i should have mentioned that in my ask sorry!

but you’ve mentioned being in a “part” of the rp community and in your reply to me you said “in that circle”… and you’re talking like you’d have to go back to the same group of people that seem to have caused you issues. but nobody would be forcing you to have to be in that same circle of people again

so I guess i’m confused as an rper myself because i don’t get the whole “this specific circle of people won’t accept my character”, when you can just entirely avoid those people from your past rp time and write with new people??

Oh, definitely, for sure, I could find new people to write with. I've done that before, too!

It's just - it is incredibly hard to start up a new account with characters from small fandoms without having a built in circle of rpers to write with. Agatha, for instance, I could start an account with and probably draw people in provided that I set her up on her own account and not as a side-account. But Eve? Claire? Like - I could start a multimuse with all of those characters, and Agatha (and maybe America) would be the only two to get interactions (except for Jess, and that's because I've had Jess for a long time and I know at least one person who would love me to bring her back).

That's not even getting into - yes, I could start a whole other account for a multimuse, but I really don't want to be switching between being logged in here and being logged in there. One of them would become a main account and the other would likely get abandoned, which would really just mean I wouldn't be on the rp account as much as I should be to be considered, you know, still an active account.

The answer to that, of course, would be a side-account. But a lot of following-followbacks rely on knowing who is following you, so if I follow from this account, people will only see that a personal account is following them and ignore the potential side-account.

Like...there's some logistics to this, too, is I guess what I'm saying.

And if I went back to primarily rp at this point, it would be because I want to write again with one of my friends who rejoined the rpc. Because I miss her. But she is in that circle.

It's a lot of complicated. XD
