PSA for former Omegle roleplayers

Just off work and I'm beat so I won't be working on tumblr replies tonight but I did just want to post the good news for former Omegle roleplayers - rolechat.org is very active for Sherlock roleplayers and according to my partners many people have migrated over. That roulette style roleplay seems to live on!

Sherlock - Omegle

This server has been created to help roleplayers who used Omegle for roleplay specially in the Sherlock fandom to connect now that the site has been pulled down.

Happy Valentine's, and you asked me a question, I will answer it, so please do not ignore.

"Unless you mean to say that the ship itself should be his beloved?" You are 3000% correct. As for what drove me to lash out at you before, just ask yeaka.

I'm still not entirely sure what you're aiming to accomplish, hon - but if it's to accuse me of plagiarism, you are seriously barking up the wrong tree. Likewise, if you're angry that I dared to write Khan with an Original Character rather than someone from canon, I truly don't give a fig.

I work in a field where I have to deal with strangers being dishonest with me nearly every day. So much so, that I know a lie within a few moments of our conversation starting. When I share with other folks the myriad ways that Liars have devised to rip off a retailer in the course of returning something, they (as I used to be) are shocked to learn the many ingenious means of deception. My reply is always, 'Well, you wouldn't think of something like that because you're a honest person'. And likewise, it never occurred to me to look up the word 'yeaka' as I figured it was a typo, rather than a basis for an accusation.

However, one of my dear tumblr friends thought to look it up and discovered it's an AO3 penname of someone who writes Khan fic, shipping him with various canon characters. For the record, I don't recall ever reading anything of theirs - nor have I visited their works now out of curiosity. I didn't think to look for myself as some means of defense because I am simply NOT A PLAGIARIST. Every fic I've published is based on my own imagination, including those that resulted from RP with partners who granted me permission to write them.

If on the other hand, you simply can't tolerate shipping Khan (or any canon character) with someone non-canon, I'd advise you to keep to your own lane and block tags for fics that may raise your ire. If you're curious, though, you might discover there is a wealth of fics featuring OCs, as well as stories featuring crossover characters from completely unrelated fandoms. Make a quick search of 'Khanlolly' alone, and you'll find many, many stories featuring romance between Khan and Molly Hooper from BBC Sherlock, basically because he wears Benedict's face. Khanlolly is an offspring of the Sherlolly fandom.

In short, fan fiction Authors are free to play with whatever characters they want in whatever manner they choose. As of today, there are no fic police to restrict what can and cannot be written. If you don't like, don't read. That will ensure peace of mind for everyone involved.

For the ask game, 1, 9, 16, and 48? If that’s okay. :]

Mod Ragna: That's perfectly fine! I'll be glad to answer, and if the Discord mods see this and want to answer as well, tag the blog and I'll reblog your answers too.

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?) Oh, that is so hard. I've been a fic writer for over 25 years, so I have thousands of fics. I think I'd recommend either Five People Who Never Died (And One Who Did) (CSI: NY, Canon divergence regarding character deaths), my All Of Time And Space series (Wholock - Sherlock/Doctor Who, main pairing is Pondlock aka Sherlock Holmes/Amy Pond, episode rewrites merging both canon universes + kidfic where Sherlock is Amy's babysitter as a kid), The One I'm Most Proud Of (Bleach, gen Ukitake & Hitsugaya), Side Trip (BtVS/Queen of the Damned movie, gen Spike & Jesse, side Spuffy and Lestat/Jesse), love is a battle, love is a war (Sherlock, Sherlolly, fantasy AU), yet our roots remain as one (MCU, rewrite of a "Thor: The Dark World" character death, start of a MCU/Sherlock crossover series which I also recommend but if you only read one, read this and the direct sequel), traces and whispers and guilt held too tightly (Star Trek AOS, Spock & Amanda Grayson, post-2009 ST, dream stuff), The Art Of Love Is Largely The Art Of Persistence (Sherlock alternate series 5, set in San Diego County - Sherlolly...my longest fic and my personal favorite fic ever written) and all of the fic in this tag and this tag (all of the friendship/relationship Leonard McCoy/Molly Hooper fics I have written...I created this ship with my friend in RP and I'm the biggest shipper of this ship, dammit).

Sorry there's so much but like I said...I've been writing for 25 years, I have evolved so much over the years style and fandom wise.

9. How do you find new fic to read? I follow a few AO3 bot blogs, some rec blogs, and a ton of fic writers. I also love reading stuff people recommend to me from fandoms I may or may not be in...as long as I have a passing familiarity with the fandom I'll read it.

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)? Oooh! I have an answer for this that I have read! My friend @dreaminonao3 has a few fics started that are modern-era Pride & Prejudice (2005) reimaginings with Caroline, Mary and Kitty paired off with her amazing OMCs Thurston, Leland and Gabe, respectively. I also really enjoy her modern au!Penthony (Anthony/Penelope) fics for the Bridgerton fandom and her rewrite of MCU canon where Steve wasn't from the 40s but he was actually a Templar Knight (I am also the inspiration for her popular fic enabler fic, so yeah...I'm her biggest fan).

48. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it? The last fic I read was a Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries ficlet called Vows that I do highly recommend (married!Phrack, sickfic)

I’m dying of boredom. Sherlock RP anyone? Looking for quick back and forth exchange because- as previously stated- I am painfully, tortuously and mind numbingly bored.

Johnlock

Sherlolly

Sherlock/OFC

Sherlock/Lestrade

Brotherly Sherlock & Mycroft

Single father Sherlock raising teenage child he never met or raising Rosie for some reason

Or make a suggestion… please… the boredom is making rereading sad fics or texting my exes sound like a good idea.

[mollysomegleadventures]

Serious question as I reflect on the history of the rp community:

How was there such a thriving sherlolly community on Omegle? Was there just like 3 other people who were ALWAYS online? Or was there really that many sherlollians that used Omegle to rp? Because in the years that I used Omegle for sherlolly rps there was almost never a time that I didn't match with someone, and I've never experienced that with any other Fandom or ship I've tried on Omegle. Well, the avengers was close, I usually found Darcy/Loki rpers but not the way sherlolly was.

[simplyshelbs16xoxo]

The things I do when I’m bored…enjoy a chat convo between Sherlock and Molly.

The weird part is that I was just talking to myself 😂😂

[fruityqtip]

Was rereading mythea rps from 2015 today. Does anyone want to mythea RP over email? My messages are open but also you can respond here or email me: hellolivy@gmail.com

Please

[little-watson]

Up for Sherlock rp with cannon characters or OC's, Victorian or modern.

[wvnchxstr]

I don't know why, but this statute seems to look alot like Benedict Cumberbatch.......

[amongdeadthings-blog]

Plotting call!

Any Sherlocks out there willing to roleplay Sherlolly? I’m really enjoying all my other threads with everyone and that sort of relationship between Sherlock and Molly isn’t necessary for me, but I do ship them and would love to play that out if anyone is interested. Like this or message me!

Also, I realize I have no threads with a Mycroft. That’s silly. I love that little icicle. So if there are any Mycrofts out there who would also like to start something, let me know! (Note: I do not ship Molly and Mycroft. Does anyone?)

[molly-hooper-uk]

We never do anything the normal way, do we?

Sherlock: I feel it is a bit unfair to ask you to be a Holmes. We're a dreadful sort. Me: That's all well and good but in the end, it's my choice I reckon, if the option is put out there one day. Sherlock: The option is always there for you to take. If you'll take it. Me: Are you asking me to take it? Sherlock: I am asking you to choose it if it suits you. Sherlock: I am asking you. Me: I'm accepting.

What a dork

John Watson Blog Entry

It’s been a while since I last done this but not much has happened. More of Sherlock being out with Molly, more of me being out with Mary because of it. I don’t know why he keeps going out like this, why he doesn’t make more time for me. I feel like a teenage girl complaining about it though. I just don’t know how to tell him, don’t want to make him feel like he can’t go out with friends. Life’s complicated. I thought this was supposed to end in like high school.

Anyway, classes are going okay I guess. More of the same. They’re a little annoying, I don’t like it. At least I’m enjoying some of them I guess. It’s better here then it would be if I were still at home. I don’t like it there, nothing there is good. I should quite complaining and go.

What tags are active like at all on Omegle, even outside of rp tags for the Sherlock fandom? I've looked up tags that were fairly active when the show was still running and now I don't connect with anyone on them. Which tags do you think are the absolute most active on Omegle, even non-Sherlock ones?

That’s a good question! And unfortunately, it’s not very easy to answer. 

When talking purely ships within the Sherlock tag, we know there is varying activity in Johnlock, Sherstrade, Mystrade, Viclock, Sherlolly, Holmescest (beware that this is a ‘cest’ ship), Jimlock/Sheriarty, Seblock, Morbrook, Johniarty, Johnbastian, Moliarty, and… Mormor. 

I single out Mormor as I’d estimate that 95% of our content comes from people in the Mormor tag. Anyway! This list is not comprehensive, and we will be making a list of ships, active or not, in the near future. 

If we’re talking about extension tags to compliment the ship, we’ve got a lot of activity! Teenlock, Unilock, Parentlock, Omegalock, Femlock, Angstlock, Darklock, etc. Try mixing and matching your tags to find a combination that works for you.

If you’re looking purely for discussion, try just ‘Sherlock’ or character names.

Outside the Sherlock community, my knowledge has a lot of gaps. I’m not sure where to direct you, but I do know that there are a lot of active role players in tags like Supernatural, Marvel, Harry Potter, Teen Wolf, Homestuck, and every Anime you could think of. The best way to find an active tag is to throw yourself in and be patient. You can also check tags on tumblr like “___ rp” to see if there are any logs up there. 

Finally, it’s a good idea to try on different days at different times. There are ‘peak’ hours for roleplaying! Some tags will be dead on a Wednesday morning, but alive on a Saturday night. Timezones influence activity too- it’s all trial and error. 

Hope this helps!

1 ,10, 23 & 26 for the fic writer ask game? (Sorry that it's so many but I wanted an eve split between reading and writing. 😄)

This is the ask post, since I posted it like, ages ago. See previous post for delay excuses lmao.

1- How long ago did you start reading fanfiction? Writing fanfiction? Oh god I'm old, 2003 for both. Freaking 20 year anniversary next summer/fall, respectively. I already knew I enjoyed writing by that time and when I discovered fanfic (I don't remember how I learned of it--possibly a school friend? Possibly Neopets?) in late spring/early summer, it only took me until early September to start posting. I know the date because my first fic is still live (though it has been edited several dozen times lmao).

10- What’s your favorite fandom, pairing, or character to read fic for? 2003-2011: LOTR, Aragorn-based, usually Arwen was the pairing if it figured at all into the story (because just like now, romance wasn't my main genre). 2012-2016: Fanfic break! RP took over entirely. 2017-2018: BBC Sherlock, Sherlock, pairing didn't matter, no faves there. I read gen, Johnlock, Sherlolly, and whatever Sherlock/Irene was called. And I even read a few rarer pairs like with Lestrade and Moriarty. I rarely click on incest stuff, that's a squick for me. 2019-now: MCU, Stephen Strange, and no preferred pairing. My bookmarked stories include Tony, Christine, Wong, Mordo, Loki, but my super-faves tend to be in the good ol' gen/found family category.

23- What’s your absolute favorite trope to write? According to AO3, it's "Hurt Stephen Strange" *snort*. Which, yeah, probably. Also I like have him abducted because if we're gonna make it hurt, might as well make the situation really, really suck. Overall I'd say "angst with a happy ending" is basically the definition of 90% of my pieces.

26- What’s your biggest distraction when writing? Research. I start looking things up and go down a research rabbit hole, and definitely look at things that are not at all necessary for the story. It's a big reason why I have to now dedicate time to just writing and put footnotes for fillers to research later
