Hey I've been following you for a while and I think you're a really good roleplayer. I was thinking about starting a roleplay blog and I was wondering if you had any good resources or advice for getting started.
// Awww, thanks so much! I’m honored! I recognize your URL from my activity page, so I’m like, “HEY I KNOW THAT USER”
Anyway. My ramblings aside: Here are some tips for making an RP blog!
Choose a muse you love. OC? Canon character? Whatever works for you!
Blogs like dear-indies are incredibly helpful, and their masterposts are a lifesaver! They’re my go-to for RP stuff.
There’s lots of terminology specific to the RP subculture. Here is an example of a list that could help with getting used to the lingo. Add the terms “mun” (person behind the character--you!) and “muse” (the character you’re RPing as), and that list is pretty good.
Watching and reading your muse’s canon (if they’re a canon character) is a lifesaver. Sometimes, a snippet of dialog from the series they’re from can spark inspiration!
Send in memes! Lots of memes.
Follow people! Send asks! They don’t mind; they’ll love it.
Read people’s rules. I mean, this is a given, but believe me, it makes things so much easier if you do!
Make sure your blog has an about and rules page (or pages). This makes things easier for those who you’re going to write with.
Have fun!
I hope that this helped! Good luck with your RP blog!
