Friendly Reminder: Drama is for In Character Only
PSA: Don’t create out of character drama. Just DON’T DO IT.
In character drama is great, that’s the reason we write. Drama between characters is what makes a story interesting, but no one wants it in their out of character life.
Don’t know what OOC Drama is? Here are some examples:
Do not copy other people’s posts by re-blogging EVERYTHING they post on their blog. Yes, reblog some things or like them for later, that’s great you like the same things! But remember you can do things like Google or Tumblr search and follow many blogs for content. Heck, create your own! Make your blog your own. Don’t copy answers in fill-out memes. Sure if you play the same character as someone you may have similar ideas, but be creative! Play your character, your own way. Don’t try to be someone else.
Do not claim another RPers blog as your own, if it’s not yours. That person doesn’t run that RP blog, I do! NOT COOL. Be honest with people, because the truth is people have ways of finding out it’s not you. Why create animosity? If you appreciate someone’s blog, tell them. Send them praise! Don’t be jealous. Everyone writes and interacts a bit differently.
Not in the relationships you want for your character or do they seem to progress too slowly? Talk to the RP-er your characters are interacting with. Some RP-ers need to have a certain writing chemistry. Some need to know the other RP-er long enough to feel comfortable. Maybe, they’re not into that ship or the way you play your character. No one expects you to read minds. If they tell you why, please respect their choice. They choose how they play their characters.
Remember RP is supposed to FUN. If you’re not here playing for fun, why are you here? This is a stress reliever, don’t create stress for people. It’ll just end up getting you blocked.
