Unsure of Where to Put My Interest Check/RP

[Jaye]

Heya! A common question, but I'm confused enough to ask.


I have a RP idea that I think fits as both a "1x1" and "Fandom" so I'm not sure where to put the interest check or the consequential roleplay. I thought at first of just putting a check in both 1x1 and Fandom, but I realised that cross-posting might be against the rules/discouraged.


I'll try be brief in explaining my RP and hopefully you guys can give me some advice.


So the RP is set in the Star Wars 'verse (hence, Fandom) but it's like a solo RP campaign. I play the GM, controlling the world and the Player controls the main character. (I welcome them to control bits of the world, but whether their suggestions work or not is up to me). I also like the idea of allowing people to read other's campaigns/stories (I've done this idea before on another site, and I noticed other forum-goers enjoyed reading some of the campaigns).


As you can see, it is technically a 1x1 in that each roleplay only involves one other player and myself. However it's also clearly not a traditional 1x1 roleplay. Hence my confusion. Additionally, I play to be GMing more than one of these campaigns/roleplays at one time. So it would be like several parallel 1x1 roleplays.


tl;dr: Advice on if this RP thread should be made in the 1x1 section or the Fandom section? Advice on if the Interest Check should be in the 1x1 section or the Fandom section? Advice on if I'm allowed to cross-post an interest check in both the 1x1 section and the Fandom section?

As I read this, I would say that 1x1 is your port of call. Fandom and the other genres are more for groups of three or more individual users in a group, while 1x1 is more toward 2-3 users. So in your case, with two users, a 1x1 Interest Check with the Fandom prefix would be appropriate.

What Cap'n said! Also, please don't cross-post interest checks. Just put them in the section your RP is going to go in.


As far as reading an RP one isn't actually playing in, the forums are all open, and I know there's plenty of folk that read whatever takes their fancy, so no worries on that score. (Some RPs are in conversations, but we don't really encourage that. Isn't it more fun to share?)


I am curious, though: if your different RPs are going to be paralleling each other, are they in the same timeframe or timeline? And if so, would you want them all separate or would you like them to be in a group RP with each other? (That would move you to Fandom, since 1x1 is meant for two or three counting the GM.)

The RPs are only really designed for one player at a time, so I'd be keeping them separate. I... might open it up later but I'd like to start with the original concept of GMing one person instead of a group. After I've done this for a while, it would be interesting to move into GMing for a small group. But that's then


I've taken the Captain's advice underwing and have placed the Interest Check in the 1x1 Section. Since, despite it's similarities to a Fandom RP it is technically just a series of 1x1 RPs :3


Thanks for the help!
