Not enough sex People who get whiny about thread dropping. It's a meme, jfc. I go there to play for an hour. If I wanted commitment, I'd go to a game. Dat medium divide. How memebells on LJ has turned into SWS2
Thread drops all the time, even when I've given their character plenty to react to and both of them have things to do. Especially just after SUDDEN TURN OF EVENTS. Thread dies. I've mostly given up on contacting people asking if they'd like to continue, because usually they tag once or twice, then vanish.
People who can't read. If it's a torture thread, don't fucking try to make my character snuggle yours. If it's a mid-fuck meme, don't start by having your character play coy. I'm not here for coy. That's why I tagged the fucking meme.
THIS. I hate people asking if they can tag me on an open meme. If I weren't willing to play with everyone, I wouldn't be there. Just jump in or don't, but you don't need my blessing or whatever.
People seem terrified of having original ideas. The memes are just constant repeats of the same thinggs and while some of them are interesting, most of them are just so blah.
This. The people-and-things-being-thrown-out-windows meme is still the first original idea I've seen in months, and bearing in mind that 1) I stalk all the meme places 2) that meme was in late 2011, well...
...get it together people. We're RPers, our whole thing is making up plots and characters and shit, so why can so few of us make memes that aren't fucking cupcakes or rng or sex ones?
Because the closer you get to the tried and true cupcakes and romance and sex and RNG RNG RNG mold, the more people tend to respond. There's the occasional meme which defies that trend, but that's pretty much the norm.

People don't tag around.

Someone did that when they reposted the "stuck in an elevator" meme from memebells. They added RNG prompts.
