[Sherlock Character Aesthetic; Richard “Richie” Brook, Jim Moriarty’s twin brother]

That’s a good question! And unfortunately, it’s not very easy to answer. 

When talking purely ships within the Sherlock tag, we know there is varying activity in Johnlock, Sherstrade, Mystrade, Viclock, Sherlolly, Holmescest (beware that this is a ‘cest’ ship), Jimlock/Sheriarty, Seblock, Morbrook, Johniarty, Johnbastian, Moliarty, and… Mormor. 

I single out Mormor as I’d estimate that 95% of our content comes from people in the Mormor tag. Anyway! This list is not comprehensive, and we will be making a list of ships, active or not, in the near future. 

If we’re talking about extension tags to compliment the ship, we’ve got a lot of activity! Teenlock, Unilock, Parentlock, Omegalock, Femlock, Angstlock, Darklock, etc. Try mixing and matching your tags to find a combination that works for you.

If you’re looking purely for discussion, try just ‘Sherlock’ or character names.

Outside the Sherlock community, my knowledge has a lot of gaps. I’m not sure where to direct you, but I do know that there are a lot of active role players in tags like Supernatural, Marvel, Harry Potter, Teen Wolf, Homestuck, and every Anime you could think of. The best way to find an active tag is to throw yourself in and be patient. You can also check tags on tumblr like “___ rp” to see if there are any logs up there. 

Finally, it’s a good idea to try on different days at different times. There are ‘peak’ hours for roleplaying! Some tags will be dead on a Wednesday morning, but alive on a Saturday night. Timezones influence activity too- it’s all trial and error.

Your response was very helpful; it’s nice to point people in the right direction. Often, they just don’t know what tags are available for them. And, on that note, we definitely will start composing a list of ships, though I’m sure it won’t be entirely comprehensive. We’ll get to it! 

If you have time in the future, perhaps explain why those tags are better suited, or direct them to a resource like our FAQs. Sometimes people just don’t understand.
