Got banned from the Fandom Secrets comm for being needlessly unsympathetic towards TC. HOWEVER, I owe an apology to one of the anonymous people I was having a conversation with, and this is it ( Read more... )

Anonymous victim warns con-goers about a serial rapist.I am not the anonymous poster -- as I've said, I do not frequent anoncomms of any kind. And while my criticism of anoncomms stand, this incident raises an important question about them, even if this was not a role-playing anoncomm: if not for this place, where could this person have warned ( Read more... )

When I wrote about anoncomms, I actually sort of meant to include RP Secrets comms in those as well, because they're fairly anonymous, and a lot of anonymous discussion goes on in them. However, they do merit an entry of their own, I think, because of the slightly more elaborate process involved ( Read more... )

Someone justify RPF to me. Someone, anyone, convince me that it's not a shitty horrible idea that is disrespectful and gross to real people. Help me out here. What could you possibly do with it that isn't fucking terrible.

Okay, we have officially reached Michael Fassbender Fever overload. Yes, he is hot, he is funny, he is overall pretty great -- BUT YOU WILL NEVER FUCK HIM, AND HAVING YOUR RANDOMASS CHARACTER FUCK A CHARACTER HE PLAYED WILL NEVER MAKE UP FOR THAT METAPHYSICAL WOUND IN YOUR HEART. I'm sorry. You have to accept it. I mean, at least Kitty is from the ( Read more... )

Mods are not always reasonable or fair. Players can have ( Read more... )

You are a writer; you must do terrible things to your character, you must put them into conflict of some sort, or else you're just writing boring as fuck, absolutely worthless wish fulfillment RP-as-therapy type bullshit. And if you and someone else want to play Perfect Romance Barbie Dolls together, fine. Whatever. ( Read more... )

Whether it's guro memes designed to allow LJ RPers to play out their most gory kinks or propagating harmful sex worker stereotypes for funsies, memebells never fails to astound me. It is always worth a skim to see which desperate soul is longing for what rape scenario, and whether they'll want dick only!!! Or maybe NO OCS! Also, ANIMATED YAOI HOMOBUTTPORN ( Read more... )

If you don't look at the-love-hotel RIGHT NOW you will miss an amazing thing. Screencaps won't capture music, after all.

Favorite moments: the song bursting into my consciousness, the arbitrary f/f tag, the detailed attention to Denny's drug dealing history.

If you recall an offhand reference in one of my earlier posts, then you may understand why I feel like I have been HOISTED BY MY OWN PETARD!!!! Not that I would dare try to take credit for the inspiration of such an amazing idea.

The most amazing icons.
