A question in regards to RP. I've been doing this since I was sixteen and know for different games, different rules. When RPing, do we post in our journals in third person with a [TAG: Quinn] (for example) placed at the end? How is our role-playing primarily done?
It's much preferred that you do your threads over at truecolors_rp; you can thread via comments or you can post a finished scene that was done over aim/email/etc - whichever you prefer :)
It varies a lot over different games, for sure, so it's normal that we'll have players coming from all sorts of posting backgrounds.
There's an example scene posted to the comm that can give you some idea of how to do it, but you're definitely more than welcome to put whatever you'd like in the subject line, be it some sort of indication of the characters involved or the place, or a quote or just leave it blank. As for tags to anyone, if you list the thread as "open," so, "Writers: Finn & Open," for example, anyone can jump in and reply :) As for the starting paragraph, it can be inside or outside of an lj-cut, but if it's an open scene, it's probably best to put it outside of one to be sure that people will stop to read it.
Yes :) I've just found that, in my experiences, actual entry tags make it so much easier to find things later on. And it's definitely preferred that you keep RPs on truecolors_rp", but if you're more comfortable playing them over the personal journals or via some other medium and then posting the finished product to the community, that's also fine.
I definitely feel you on that. It's so easy to get wrapped up in a muse's brain, lol.

I'm understanding. I think I've been in Finn's head too long. :P
