Hey everyone, this is my first time coming on here like this besides posting anons. It's just I've been talking to some of you (particularly OC pre-dom rpers out there) and I just wanted to make a smol PSA for those following you involving resource reblogging, interacting, and reblogging one's aesthetics <3
So here it is:
MINA'S PSA FOR THOSE FOLLOWING OC PRE-DOM WRITERS/ROLEPLAYERS:
It is important to familiarize yourself with the OC you plan to write with. The person who created the OC, put a lot of effort into developing the character and they may have important information that could either benefit or hinder your thread. It is not ideal to enter a thread without any knowledge of the OC. Additionally, if the mun of the OC perceives that you didn't care enough to learn about their character, they may drop the thread entirely. So in hindsight, just read up on the OC. It'll help so much.
Do NOT, and I repeat do NOT just reblog an aesthetic someone catered SPECIFICALLY to their OC and slap your own OC muse all over said aesthetic with ZERO credit, interaction, a follow back, etc. This is beyond rude and could really upset the person you reblogged this from. No one wants to be accused of stealing now do they?
If you are only using an OC pre-dom rper for their memes, please refrain from doing so. You can either send them a meme in return for their efforts or avoid reblogging directly from them altogether. It can be challenging for OC pre-dom players to put themselves out there, and it is discouraging when their time is wasted by someone being impolite and simply reblogging from them and clogging up their activity.
Just because they mainly write OCS does NOT make their characters any lesser than canons. Remember: all canons were once OCS to start off with. So, show some human decency and respect a fellow mun/writer. They're trying their best and just want to make friends too.
Please show appreciation for their creative efforts by liking their ooc posts, headcanons, send asks on anon, etc. If you like them, and enjoy what they are doing interact with them! Otherwise, how will they know their efforts are not in vain?
