I scan some active IC thread, either to scan the posts or marvel at the formatting.
A lot of posts here are set up to appear "fanfiction"-esque, aren't they? They're more interconnected stories than constant interaction, which is interesting to me.
Yeah, for some reason that style is really popular here. You won't hear me complaining, because I really like it, but it certainly isn't the usual roleplay style. I'm a bit confused as what you mean with fanfiction-esque, though. Except for the obvious Pokémon ones, there isn't that much established universe stuff going on.
I don't read any RPs I'm not in. I'll follow an RP if I'm interested and I'm not in it, but at the moment that's just not the case, so I've just been reading Gunpowder and Abyllia.
