I don't usually upload graphics, but since this includes feathery artwork I'm making an exception. It's a banner for an RP of mine, and it includes phoenix shifters (among other shifters). I'm particularly proud of this because it only took me an hour and a year ago it would have taken me forever and a half.
The RP is named after a song by The Stars (my favourite band).

Eep, sorry >_< At the moment it's a private RP. I'll let you know if we open it up to more people... we have a hard time keeping up with RPs that have massive numbers of people so atm we're just keeping it closed except to close friends, or at least until we can handle something bigger.
Please forgive my ignorance as I've only come across the term, but I never asked for someone to elaborate on the fact. Can someone explain to me, the concept of a roleplay? Fascinating artwork, but the concept of "roleplay" is still losing me the more people say it. I know it's something of an acting job, but I've never seen one happen before my eyes, nor did I ever figure out what was going on.
I'm sure what she's referring to is text RPing, which isn't acting, per se.
"Jack went to get a glass of milk before tossing the contents all over Stephen."
Is kind of the idea. And then, you being Stephen, would respond. That's insanely watered down, but I don't feel like going into HUGE EPIC EXPLANATION.

Does this all rely on improvisation if text RPG exists? Because I'm always envisioning this event when you have a sort of "joker" who decides the scene is too boring for his/her taste and in an attempt to spice the scene apart, they would reply to such a dilemma with something like this.
Stephen turns into a penguin and eats Jack alive while singing star spangled banner while stuffing himself full of death, he then said: "I challenge you duel--the hell did you go?" Stephen then realized that he just defeated Jack in an epic eating duel. No contest.
I assume these spaces are always monitored, correct? Because that would just be so anti-climatic (though if such things, I wouldn't be surprised if such back and forth's become sitcoms or huge soap operas in the long run. Assuming someone has the resources).

It depends on the roleplay, but that wouldn't fly so well in a usual Play-by-post RP. In mine I set up a fantasy world, with different races, who have different sets of cultures, and I outline these. Anyone who plays creates a character within this world's parameters. It sounds more complicated than it is.
So let me just run this by you, to makes sure I understand this concept. It's still new to me, even as I look most of it up in google (god, how naive can I get?). So, you create the fantasy and bring people in (or people enter at leisure... depending on several factors later on in the alliterations of the world you create. I assume resource constraits, organization. That type of thing.) and essentially the people that are brought in become part of the populace. Essentially learning cultures and races mannerisms, idealisms, religions (depending on how detailed the world is) of each species you deploy inside. That's at least my understanding so far.
As for how people implement, in this case, how you implement it. Is there a set story line? Or are people going to improv stories on the fly? Just out of curiosity--because I always thought having a set story can be rather... bulked for lack of a better word. What I mean is that I always thought such stories would get too cluttered and far too esoteric to even continue. Backstories, plot holes, etc--a collaboration story without much organization. I really hope that didn't come off too pompous, I'm just making surface observations to exact my own ignorance.

There is no set story line in my own, I usually give a brief history of the world they live in and then leave the rest up to the players. I RP with a few close friends whom I've been RPing with for like... a decade. We're pretty good at coming up with stories and playing along and adding our own twists as we go. If everything's plotted out in advance, it's dull. Half the fun of RP is the spontaneity.
In my case, I usually limit the world somehow so that it's contained (not a whole world map, for example, but a small city with different types of people or sub-groups within it). That way, everyone can interact without having to get on a boat and float across the ocean for a year. Usually we use liquid time in RP so that we can easily get from point a to point b if necessary.

Ooooooo, I got it now. Sounds like a romping adventure of mystery, tragedy... and other stuff like penguins and such. Least now it makes sense why RP's exist (well, why I see them so often around). Well, at least a plausible idealism as to why they still remain popular as of today. Thank you both for clarifying the pieces up and Demi for that piece of information ;)
Have a pleasant night. Now to find that root beer of mine.

It's funny, the song by that name doesn't include this lyric, it's actually from 'Your Ex-Lover Is Dead.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FMOJMhV9s
Usually I hate 'remixed' versions of the same song, but in this case I actually prefer the mix they did with Final Fantasy of this song to the original. Either way, both are good. I just adore the Stars in general though. I can listen to them all day and never get bored.
