Journal Roleplay: Difference between revisions

As an outgrowth of its enormous fandom contingent, [[LiveJournal]], and now [http://insanejournal.com InsaneJournal] and [http://dreamwidth.org Dreamwidth], has a large and lively roleplaying community. No, not [[Tabletop Games|that kind of roleplay.]] Or [[RPG|that one.]] Or, well, mostly not [[Fetish Fuel|that one.]]

 

Also, roleplayers have a penchant for drama. It's like high school, in a way.

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Given LJRP's fandom roots, players frequently come into conflict over whether a given player's interpretation of a character is true to the original.

* [[Alternate Universe]]: Most games that aren't "spooky jamjars" ([[Ontological Mystery|Ontological Mysteries]]) are AUs where the canon characters' backgrounds have been altered to fit the setting.

* [[Romance on the Set]]: Very often, players seem to form romantic relationships...

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: On a game scale, it's when a person decides to flounce from a game, usually due to a number of things, from the stupidly simple to the complex. On a net-wide scale, the many games listed here actually jumped ship from [[LiveJournal]] to DreamWidth when LJ's system changed to the point where playing there was impossible.

* [[Shoot the Money]]: Many people are reluctant to drop dying muses until their paid accounts run out.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Quite common, and let's leave it at that.
