Community Promo/Discussion: RP Comm

[ddk_mod]

This is a post for anyone who enjoys roleplaying/round robin fills, and anyone who has an opinion on them.

Firstly, I've been asked to see how much interest there is in a separate community for Daredevil roleplaying! Any nonnies who would take part in one please respond to this comment, just so it's easy to get a count. (Any round-robin fillers who see this, please free feel to nudge anyone taking part in your threads to come and show interest here!)
New comm has been made! Check out collaborative_daredevil :D

Secondly, for my curiosity, what is the general meme feeling about round robins and roleplay fills? Do you read but not take part? Would you prefer if they stayed or went somewhere else? Should there be a rule about collaborative fills?

New comm

Hi, I've set the comm up, here

I'm hoping people will be willing to volunteer as mods/organisers for the fic relay at least.

Question: Since it's not technically hosted on this community, do people still feel that it would or wouldn't be appropriate to, for example, let people know who are spiralling into RP on a prompt that they should really move the conversation there?

For example, on this prompt: http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/7552.html?thread=15842176#cmt15842176

My worry about not keeping a community like that in-meme is that if I say that, people will just say "Well screw you we'd rather stay here, who are you to tell us to leave?"

Or would it be appropriate to poke the mod and say "Hey, mod, could you let them know that they should consider moving it and maybe post a STOP statement with a redirect link to the collaborative comm?"

Otherwise, what is even the point? I worry that people here will basically just keep doing what they're doing and not notice the other comm is there if an RP breaks out on a kink meme prompt.

Breaks out! makes it sound like a virus! :)

I was in that thread, and I didn't consider it RP. We're still very much hoping that someone is going to fill it as a real fic, but we were just throwing around ideas to get the creative juices flowing. We have moved, as per the request we were given, but I doubt it'll take off again over there. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

Eh, it wasn't an RP but it wasn't definitely a round robin.

Well, IMO the point of the other community is not "get off the meme we don't want you", it's more "this is not really what the kink meme is for, but here is another site you can go where other interested people also go".

So I don't see anything wrong with poking anons (or poking the mod to poke anons, I guess?) to let them know there's another community. It's like community promo.
