It just makes you look like an idiot, and the other person will end up silently frustrated with you. This also includes not naming your character something long, ridiculous, and is unable to be pronounced by any mortal tongue.
Some immature RPers ignore this rule entirely, but it makes everyone else roll their eyes. Fifth rule. This one can be ignored, but most people at least offer it.
It has to do with noobs to RPing. If one person has done an RP before, and the other hasn't, then the more advanced one often suggests that maybe they should take on most of the characters, leaving the noob with one or two to play around with on their first try.
This can be ignored under many circumstances- such as if both are new, or one is new and the other has only done a few RPs. It's mostly advanced RPers who offer it. Try to make it as smooth a transition as possible Such as like this: You want to offer that maybe their character should get captured. If they don't go for it, don't push it.
In that way , you can trust that the other person won't push their unliked ideas too hard either. A little tip. Your main character is often referred to as your Chari.
It's just a piece of slang that's developed. He had to find Sharlene and get out of there before anything else popped out at him. If he ran into another one of those ghouls he gulped nervously at the mere thought of it , he didn't know if he'd be able to make it out in one piece Person A: No, it doesn't.
As the ghoul comes toward him, James backs off until his back was pressed against the wall. When it lunged at him, he jumped aside, heart beating wildly as he reached out. His hand caught on something, and he raised it high without thinking, bringing it down on the ghoul's head. It fell to the ground, twitched once, and lay still. I don't need a head, bitch!

In fiction-based fandoms, "canon" is simply the source narrative you're referring to when you talk about that thing you like. Some people have different ideas of what "canon" is — for example, many Harry Potter fans don't consider anything but the published books to be canon, while other fans include the extra information author J.
Rowling has provided about the wizarding world on her Pottermore website and on Twitter. Fanon : These are the pieces of information fans make up to supplement their canons. Sometimes a detail gets widely distributed and becomes a major fanon trope, meaning it makes its way around fandom and becomes a well-known idea.
And to really break your brain, sometimes that trope makes its way back to the creators of the source material, who stick the fanon trope into canon. For instance, in the third season of the BBC's Sherlock, John Watson was rescued from a bonfire in a cheeky reference to the fanon meme depicting Martin Freeman, who plays Watson, as a hedgehog.
Hedgehogs often curl up in the piles of wood assembled for bonfires on Guy Fawkes Day in England. Headcanon: A sub-branch of "fanon" is actually called "headcanon. Shipping: Perhaps the single most popular fandom activity, shipping involves fans rooting for two characters — or two real-life people, if your fandom is reality-based — to get together romantically.
If you ship a pair of characters, they become a ship and you become a shipper. Often the shippers behind different ships fight for dominance within a fandom; these are called ship wars. OT3, OT4, etc. Fanfiction: Fanfiction — or fanfic or fic , but never "fan fiction"; the two-word construction is considered incorrect — is fiction written about a previously existing work, or a previously existing source of some kind.
This previously existing source can be virtually anything, including reality; there's a whole subgenre of fanfic called RPF , short for "real person fiction," or fanfiction about real people. Fanfiction exists about everything from commercials to inanimate objects to real world history. Fanfiction is also as old as civilization itself , and, contrary to popular belief, it's not illegal.
It's generally considered to be fair use under US copyright law, in that it qualifies as a "transformative" work based off the original source material. Fanfiction is a collective noun, so you say "works of fanfiction," not "fanfictions. Fanworks: Fanworks are stuff you make in honor of a canon; how you define "stuff" and "make" is largely up to you.
Common types of fanworks include things like fan art and fan vids exactly like fanfic but with pictures and videos , meta serious discussion about canon or about fandom itself , cosplay dressing in costume as a fictional character , fan comics, fan films, podfics recordings of fanfiction made by other fans , filk fannish song parodies , fan theories, and everything from fannish sewing patterns to fannish tattoos.
In short, it's just about anything you can think of making to support, defend, expand upon, discuss, or celebrate your fandom. TPTB : A fandom abbreviation for "the powers that be. The use of this term is waning in modern fandom in favor of "creators," "showrunners," etc.
The term has the side effect of reminding fans that ultimately, creators have power over canonical material and, to some extent, over fandom itself. BNF : big-name fan. This term dates from old-school sci-fi fandom and refers to a "famous" fan or a fan who is more or less at the center of fandom culture.
For instance, before she became a major best-seller, The Shadowhunters author Cassandra Clare was considered to be the most famous fanfiction author in the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fandoms. Het fanfic is "het fic. Many fans believe slash is a subversive response to heteronormative canons, which rarely allow for the possibility that main characters can be queer. But a growing number of fans maintain that the tendency of slashers to fixate on mostly white male characters makes slash a deeply problematic and regressive genre.
Slash is a huge part of modern fandom culture. As of Tumblr's last statistical analysis on the subject, it's pretty clear that the vast majority of pairings being shipped in fandom tend to be slash pairings. However, the major het ships in fandom, like Arrow 's Olicity, seem to have more shippers in other locations on the internet — not just Tumblr, which is generally considered to be the contemporary hub of fandom online.
