Somebody suggested that the idea of metagaming(Knowing more than your character does) would be super fun through little character journals. These are basically threads like Rin's House and my own Simple Life thread, but for your characters. What does that mean? Well, here's a little example!

Character- Today so and so kissed me! It was so sweet! I love them!

... And yeah, bad example, but you get the point. Metagaming can be considered a tad dangerous to some, but if the player is smart and doesn't powerplay, it would be a great way to:

1- Allow somebody to keep muses for a certain character flowing while reaching deeper connection to that character's personality.

2- Provide an outsider's view on a character, giving more depth and more flavor.

3- Be totally fun to write! Sometimes delving into inner thoughts can be very wordy and take away from threads, so this is a good place to do that!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Arcy, you said blogs too. Wazzupwitdat?"

Well, I would pin a blog as sort of like a public journal- Something anybody in the schools can see. The way I envisioned it, there would basically be a website- A social network among the entire campus- that anyone and everyone could see if they accessed the internet. On here, girls could post whatever they wanted(within realistic regulations, much like the ones on this site.) and it would allow anybody to see those things. Anything from blogs to videos to games(In fact, I remember ages back I wanted to get some Minecraft players to make an SPRP Minecraft server)

So, this may sound confusing still. Let me break it down:

JOURNALS- Private insights into a character that no other characters can see

BLOGS- Interactive website within an interactive website, where characters can all see what you do.

Feedback appreciated. I kind of poofed this out of my head at 4 in the morning so it might be awkward to read.

omg I totally love this idea! * Q * )
I can really envision my characters doing something like this and it seems like a really fun thing to do. ＾ワ＾)

I guess what I was mainly going for was to expand on the journal idea with blogging. It could be a good way to get people talking to each other that ordinarily wouldn't; like if a girl related to something she could anonymously reblog it and encourage the other girl to keep going. I'm thinking like a Tumblr for SPRP. And of course that would open an entirely new spectrum of posting and content, the only downside foreseeable being less face to face activity.

That's a pretty cool idea!

I was in an RP on LiveJournal that did something like that. It mixed in RP posts with character posts. That was pretty fun!

Oooh. I like the addition of the blog. I think this might be a fun idea. You're right that it might be a problem with the whole face-to-face interaction thing, but a lot of people have really shy characters and it's hard for them to get into threads because the characters are so quiet. Being able to communicate with each other through a sort of blog might give some of those shy characters a place to be a little more open. I dunno. Either way, I like this idea~ ^^v

i love it ! it will also help with threads and thread ideas if you know the rp person ( characters ) better then they can relate and get some in depth scenes and connections . =) my characters would really take advantage of this . great idea

And i agree the shy characters ( like Eri one of mine ) will really use theses because shy people ( like me ) seem to write in dairy's,, more well at least for the few people i know , just my opinion .
