  • Hi there Guest! This message is to let you know that leadership is aware there is an error in the posting of badges - that the image links themselves are broken. Rei is working to move the items to a different img host, but it may take a little while for the transition to be complete.

Open role plays, as I understand it, are where one person posts a starter that any other person is free to jump in and respond to. Honestly, I dont get the appeal. I like to vet my partners to avoid disappointment.
 
The open roleplay section is for roleplays where the writer does not have a prechosen partner and anyone can reply to a posted RP thread.

The Roleplay Haven is for any RP where the writers have already been chosen and the RP is planned. It is understood that RPs here are not open for anyone to reply to and join.

It's an excellent tool for me because sometimes I just need an excuse to write. Finding people who actually mesh with you tends to be a numbers game anyway - open threads are just a higher risk table at the roleplay casino.
