@squirrel Related but tangential: I've had decent luck in the past with forum RP and dreamwidth RP; they're generally slower paced and the facts that a) you don't need to be all online at the same time in order to RP and b) you can easily play multiple characters simultaneously means they can function with smaller groups of players.

@InspectorCaracal tbh starting any of this feels overwhelming to do by myself and i just want someone to guide me through it
@InspectorCaracal thank you >.<
@squirrel hey no problem, I keep wanting to get back into RP stuff, maybe doing it with someone else'll get it to stick. >.>
@InspectorCaracal i'd really like trying rping with you <3
@squirrel Okay! I am gonna go dig around for some fun-looking furry-OC-friendly DW groups, then, I'll report back~
