Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Amber Rin on Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:55 pm

Hey! I'm new here, and I need some help with RP, like posting.

So an RP is looking for characters and you submit one and it's accepted. But other people have already started posting. So do you just jump in and start posting? Because I'm wondering that if I do that, will it break the "flow" of the posts? Like if 2 characters are in the middle of a scene or something and a new character suddenly pops in, I think that would be quite weird. Is it?

Please help me out (asking this makes me feel so... dumb). Thanks!

Umm...Well, the easiest thing would be to not really "pop in" but to just...well...start. Yeah, not the best advice. But, take a look at your character, and try to think of what kind of thing they might be doing, or have been doing, etc, when the story begins. You could post that, or go from there. But, really, the possibilities could be endless. Just be careful; if you just "pop in," some people might be okay with it, and if so, go ahead. But there are probably others who would get really pissed off if you did that. Especially if you were interrupting. That help at all?

Yeah, that was really helpful. Thanks! I'll try not to make people pissed off. That would be really bad.

Ok.I kind of need help again.
I submitted a character to a RP and it got accepted. Well, I think it got accepted because it's in my characters tab. But I have no idea how to post in a RP. Could you help me out? Thanks!

If you've been accepted into an RP, you character will appear in the "Characters" area under that game's Tab. Once you've been accepted, posting is as easy as going to the "Activity" tab then typing your post!
