What's up with the RPs in the Fanfic section? There's like 50 going on, anyone care to explain, because those are seriously either: A) Mary Sue (everyone is fucking perfect and pretty much farts glitter and craps sunshine and pisses rainbows) B) Clichéd, and I really shouldn't explain myself here. Or C) Gay. Just really, REALLY gay. Look up the video for "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and that's the amount of gay in them. But what bothers me most is that they lack creativity and go along the same path as "Finish the Story." While it is true that the PIMD community works to make these and brings it together, it takes away interesting stories with plot by burying them in rivers of shiny piss and glittered turds. And so, anyone, explain to me why the RP things are so damn popular
1)RPs are another type of story. A continuous unplanned out one that everyone participating one enjoys. 2)Can people quit using the term gay incorrectly? •None of us are gay in the RPs •We usually aren't very happy 3)I suggest you try one. You might find that you like it
1) That is in fact true, but I will usually find at least 3 revolving on the same subject. 2) Words change meaning over time. Whether the word means one likes members of the same sex or that one is happy doesn't matter, I got my point across and you understood what I my meant. 3) I have. And I thought it was gay.
You were a teacher about to kick somebody's ass with a damn ray gun bro. I have to admit that's pretty damn scary.
Well there are people who enjoy them. I do agree we are being overrun with them. Also I think ATA should fix forums up a little. Maybe add a new section for RPs
Mordici: That's because the story IMO, sucked and needed my help. I'm this place's 2nd lieutenant of awesome.
.. I know. I returned to find Fan Fic scattered with RPs. I was confused as to how they worked first, And they all lack the originality and flair that the G1 and G2 era stories had.
High School of the Dead and any other story I write still have that sense of originality in them. I think if it as a counter-revolution.
It's true, people tend to post a series of RPs that do actually bury our stuff. I, personally am not a fan of this. Either we try to make the RPs less dull and generic or we get more stories and tales in there!
