Hi lovelies! Normally we hate posting something like this, but this does need to be addressed especially when it’s not just us noticing this.
Over the past week people have indeed been posting starters, which is great! But then we have noticed further into the reply tags they have only replied to their co-stars and such. We’re not saying that this has just happened today, but I am very aware of at least one or two people in particular who has done nothing but reply to those they feel comfortable with, now we are indeed a small group yes. But that shouldn’t mean you should only stick with the people you know.
We have had a few starters from other players that have got like 1 or 2 notes, whereas others will get a lot. We don’t like people playing favorites, and yes of course we know you have your ship partners and people who you feel most comfortable with which we understand that of course! But we are a small group, which is why we encourage people to branch out. If you post a starter and get replies then we expect you to reply to each person who made the effort to give your starter a reply. We class this as bubble roleplaying, and a few people not just the mods have noticed it going around a lot. If you are caught bubble roleplaying, we will not only send you a message but we will have no choice but to put you on the activity check with a warning. It’s not fair on other people to reply to your starters but get nothing back in return. Please make an effort to get out there, branch out and show your celebrity to others. Not just your co-stars or cliques, we don’t want to be that kind of roleplay so please don’t turn us into one!
To make sure you all understand we will need you to LIKE this post, so we know people have read it.
