18+ starliit on ao3 fiction ≠ reality

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

I know the ask was from a few months ago but there’s like, nobody online that talks about Rolechat - recently I’ve also been unable to access it when not on an account. Do you know if this is just a regional thing? I’m hesitant to make an account because idk if it’s really anonymous then and I liked the mystery…..

No worries! Happy to help if I can.

I haven't used RC in a few weeks but I just checked and I can still access without an account as long as I'm not using a VPN. I'm also using Google Chrome - I did have problems on Safari a few months back.

I'd make sure you're not using a VPN - try a few different browsers too. I'd also make sure you've read and agreed to the rules and checked off all the boxes.

If that doesn't work there is a Discord for Rolechat so I would maybe ask on there if you're still struggling. The mods in the server run Rolechat and they're great if you have any problems. Hope this helps!

Check out the rolechat community on Discord – hang out with 3084 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

I need bartylus who are all over each other 24/7. Regulus who is always in Barty's lap, Barty who is constantly wrapped around Regulus one way or another. They're always whispering, always just one step away from being indecent, always far too close to fucking in public places.

barty being really, really smart but sorely underestimated because he’s loud and energetic and often over-sexualised is so important to me. that’s him to me

Anyway I think there is a version of Bartylus where Regulus is just an insufferable fanboy because Barty is an academic weapon and everything Regulus aspires to be and I'd pay gooood money to read more of that because god knows I shouldn't take on another WIP right now...

for some people “getting back at dad” means getting tattoos, failing your classes, not getting that specific job. for barty crouch jr “getting back at dad” means biding your time to slowly accumulate enough power to reverse your circumstances, reenacting your own childhood abuses on your father by keeping him under imperius, locking him in his home, manipulating him, using him as a puppet, degrading him, and then eventually murdering him in cold blood, desecrating his corpse, and burying him an an unmarked grave. and also maybe by getting a few tattoos

Has rolechat gone to account only access? When I try to start a chat it asks me to sign in.

No I don't think so! I can still access without an account.

[star-liit]

I actually just tried to use Rolechat while using a VPN and couldn't without signing up - so maybe that's the problem?

Huge shout out to all the people who read fics. Who actually take the time out of their busy days to open a fic and read it

Before I started writing in earnest, I did not understand how much writing was going to eat into my fic reading time. We joke about having too many tabs open, but I have a different problem: the amount of tabs I have open on new fics is way smaller than it used to be. My ao3 wrapped would be a sad affair. Unless I’ve subscribed to an author or come across something on my dash, I basically don’t see it

Which has really driven home for me how much fandom cannot just be creators. You have to have people who want to read fic and meta discussions and joke posts. You have to have people who want to look at art and gifs. It has to be mutual.

Community thrives on flow. You have to have that movement of people sharing things with each other for a community to exist

Thank you fic readers. You keep things flowing

I'm kinda new to rp and someone said I was godmodding? Idk what that is but they disconnected so can you explain godmodding please <3

Sorry this has been in my inbox for a while - I've not really been using Tumblr lately!

If you god-mod you basically make your character 'god' in some way. It's hyperbolic - you're not literally making your character god, but you're taking an unfair advantage or level of control over a roleplay.

You might have a character who is completely untouchable or unrealistically invincible. They might also know information they shouldn't know and overcome any challenge with absurd ease.

It can also look like controlling your partner's character - you might decide how your partner's character will react to something or you might give their character traits or a backstory your partner hasn't established or agreed to.

It could also mean you're significantly taking over the timeline or narrative without checking in - like, something significant happens and you don't give your partner's character time to react before you time skip and decide what the fall out looks like.

It's basically just taking over a roleplay and not collaborating - it can be pretty irritating because it closes doors and forces your partner to just follow along with your plot. It's hard to define because there is a bit of nuance to it - sometimes it makes sense to just wrap up a scene and move on and sometimes a reaction wouldn't add anything to the plot, but you usually won't get complaints unless you've significantly taken over.

To avoid god-modding just let your partner decide how their character feels, acts, and responds. Ask if you want to time skip or introduce a significant plot point. If you keep that in mind moving forward then you should be fine - don't worry about it! We've all made early roleplay mistakes.

I'll genuinely never get over the fact I can't use em dashes without the fear of being accused of using AI anymore. Every time I throw in a - instead of a — I just want to scream it's so fucking ugly!!!

Some of us really need to be doing “Finish That Fanfic We Haven’t Updated in a Year November” 💀

the longer I exist in this current iteration of the world, the more I'm like, "you know, maybe Victor Hugo was right narratively speaking. Maybe you do have to occasionally write a chapter long extended metaphor. Stop. Turn to face the audience. Tell them in no uncertain terms exactly what the metaphor means. Explains it is society. Society is the metaphor. Do you understand. Do you get it is a metaphor about society. The one that you live in. Okay, now back to the plot."

Bury Me In Black Regulus Black survived the war - but he never planned on starring in the sequel. Now it's Halloween, and the dead have learned to dial.

This is my second phone-based Bartylus AU, so please ignore my lack of originality. I just wanted to write something fun and a little campy for Halloween. This one leans heavily towards rosestarkiller - so at least I’m shaking things up a bit in that regard!

Heavily inspired by Bury Me In Black by My Chemical Romance if you'd like some read along listening.

Love the dynamic where Barty is a freaaak who would do anything for Evan and frequently does - but Evan's ideal type is some corruptible skittish virgin loser who also happens to be his cousin. He'll settle for Barty but the second Regulus gets drunk or needy, mark my words, Evan is all over that.
