Anonymous asked: In a question someone said they "bump their posts" and i was just wondering what that meant.

Anonymous asked: So, I'm a bigger RP(five people), and it's post-by-post. One of the RPers often forgets to reply to my posts. I wouldn't care, if it weren't for the fact our characters are in a relationship. I bump my posts often, and they will respond for awhile, the forget me when someone else post. I feel pushy and annoying when I bump my posts, but I'm really interested in the...

Anonymous asked: So how would you rp a powerful character with a rather short temper?

miss-tick asked: Hi! I'm pretty new at tumblr roleplay, and I have one big question (which may be a bit stupid, but i ask anyway). I'm more into OC and was wondering if making a tumblr dedicated to an OC with which you gonna play in various background and fandom is something common ? Thanks in advance!

I’M BACK! I have successfully moved, and though it has taken a bit of getting used to, I have all but settled in here in Texas. Things are… still a little bit tough, but we’re working it out. The first couple of weeks were the toughest, but I think we’re doing better now. We’ve worked out a schedule that gives me some free downtime during the afternoon unless something important comes up,...

Anonymous asked: Have you ever considered allowing site advertisements to be submitted?

Anonymous asked: Good websites to find face actors?

neonalbatross asked: for your poll: I have two RP blogs as total separate entities from my main, I find this way easier because it can have its own personal dashboard of other RP blogs and not crowd out posts by the non-RP blogs I follow, it also makes it easier to reply to Asks to the RP blog. It's free to get a custom hotmail email for your blog, too, so that's always a plus. Side accounts are better...

neverland-meets-wonderland asked: Hello, we're a new rpg and we wanted to let the word out there! Will you please publish this?

Anonymous asked: hello! I'm somewhat new to Tumblr roleplaying and happen to play a personification of a landmass. To me, politics makes me uncomfortable and some people who watch me, has threads with other characters talking with each other about politics. I avoid it because I have this feeling its the mun's own views they're reflecting on their character. Is avoiding it overall the right way to...

Anonymous asked: Do you have to create a brand new tumblr per character?

barefootbby asked: What is the best way to have a roleplay blog; As a secondary blog, or as a separate blog completely? I've never created one, but I have an idea for one I wish to make.

Anonymous asked: As a longtime sufferer of clinical depression, I've been struggling with making responses to my active roleplays and interactions oocly. I just... up and disappear. Sometimes for months at a time. When I get back, people will have moved on to something new, or the old regulars will want nothing to do with me. I've never come right out and told any of my partners my problem - I'm...

+ An Announcement...

I apologize for not being around recently, and not answering Asks in a timely fashion. My grandmother recently passed away after a rather long period of illness, and that has prompted several major changes in my small family’s life. I will be moving halfway across the country in order to take care of my grandfather in about a week, and I was given only a little under a month to wrap up...

+ Thar she blows

Hey guys! I know I said I would try not to vanish again like last time, but lo and behold… my bad. My grandparents’ health has taken a turn for the worse, as has my own (still having difficulty breathing, though a trip to the doctor turned up nothing immediately apparent), so I’ve been focused a lot on that lately. However, roleplaying has always made me feel better when I was...

six-legged asked: a good thing to remember about paranoia is that the psychiatric community defines two different types of it, 'poor me' and 'bad me'. pm patients believe their prosecution is undeserved and unfair, whereas bm patients believe that they did something to deserve it. understandably, bm patients are often depressed and suffer from much lower self-esteem than pm patients. a little...

Anonymous asked: Hi! Um,how would i be able to role play a paranoid person?

worldendanthology-rpg asked: Would you be interested in taking a private look at my plot? I'm looking for an unbiased opinion on it before I start jazzing everything up and continuing on writing info for it. :)

evaporatingpianosandxylophones asked: Aside from RpBuddySearch, are there any other places to find high-literacy, English-speaking, email roleplayers? (sorry for being so specific, I'm just getting a tad antsy looking for people.)

Anonymous asked: Hi I play a Deadpool charater and I was woundering how I would put down during a conversation in a rp of him talking to the voice in his head. I know its probbally really simple but I forgot how due to I do not do it much so any help would be grand. thank you.

acertainalternateuniverse asked: Hi. So I'm involved in a long term RP. The only problem is my partner's activity has dropped from several posts per day to one every couple of weeks if I prod them, citing writer's block, work etc as a reason but I think they might just be losing interest. We've spoken a couple of times about it and I've tried to do what I can to help them back into things but after a...

But the rain is clearing! To everyone whose questions I have not answered yet – I sincerely apologize! It’s been a good couple of months since I have updated this blog, and I promise THAT WILL CHANGE!

I sincerely apologize! Work has been very busy these past couple of weeks, and as such I have not had very much time to answer questions with the full attention they deserve. I go into work again tomorrow and Saturday, but I will try my hardest to get to all of the unanswered questions after my shift ends on Saturday! :)

thewaiting-girl asked: Who ever answers these questions--I love you. I've been going through this blog and it's just so nice. Incredibly so.

pseudolias asked: I RP frequently, but one thing I feel often in the need for is things to actually DO in-character. This isn't the case the majority of the time, but often enough that it's annoying. One thing I've often tried is IC truth-or-dare, with varying results. Thus, my question is: What are some good games to play IC during roleplaying that encourage actually doing things, IC chat &...

Anonymous asked: I'm in a roleplaying group. My character T and someone else's character O have been going out for a month now. O for some reason changed suddenly and it throws me and my muse for T off. I want to break it off, but last time someone broke up with the person who plays O, she made all her characters hate that person. I don't know if I should break it off or not?

Anonymous asked: To be fair, almost all plots are overdone at some point, you just have to write it in an interesting way.

Daily Rant: The Seven C’s

Daily Rant - “Daily” meaning that it takes place in the daytime, not that it will necessarily be an everyday occurrence, and “rant” meaning that it is a stream of consciousness wall of text with an ultimate point. Today’s topic of discussion is: THE SEVEN C’S, a post exploring seven easy, effective, integral parts of every roleplay, big or small (with a witty name, to boot!). The things that...

Tumblr did not inform me that I had messages, and so there are several unanswered Asks in my inbox that I had no idea were there! To anyone who sent in a message that has gone unanswered - I am so sorry, please do not think I was ignoring you! I will get started on all of the answers right now! :C

Anonymous asked: i'm considering getting back into rp after a break of about two years. i really enjoyed the first part of my time rping, which was in large livejournal communities, but it eventually devolved into a pretty terrible, dramatic, stressful situation. would you say that smaller rps/tumblr rp is less terrifyingly dramatic? what would you suggest to avoid getting into that kind of situation?

Anonymous asked: This girl I know is a complete Mary Sue, and when you try to confront her, she gets all defensive and threatens to quit the group and give up on everything. I don't want her to take what I'm saying personally, but it's not fun to role play with her! What should I do? I want to quit on her, but it sounds like my only option because it is a very dramatic scenario. I've never role...

Anonymous asked: Thinking of getting back into RPing. The Tumblr roleplaying style seems confusing, but I think I'll try it. Anyways, questions. 1. How do I find people who RP well? 2. Is it best to stick to one blog per character? 3. I want to apply to someone but worry that I won't like their style and'll bail on them—would it be okay to ask for an RP sample before I volunteer my, hem,...
