Size Does Matter
Free Form Role-Play is still alive and well, and downright thriving in the world of online forums. With the easy ability for just about anyone to host their own phpBB set up, or join a site like freewebs, play-by-post and the creative writing side of FFRP may actually be bigger than ever.
Eve, the player behind Alysia Skye on Dragon’s Mark and other sites has a fairly new blog, Life in the Garden of Eden where she gives her take on a few different things, including FFRP. She recently made a posting on a topic that I think most folks just don’t bother to think about, forum signature.
The rest of the roleplaying intarwebs probably don’t think that edgy bit of lyric, quote rendered in rainbow-glow colors, or over-sized photoshopped JPG of a popular actor/actress is quite as cool as you do.
Particularly not once they’ve seen it fifty times.
Her basic tips include watching the size, and keeping it simple.
