So, I've been bouncing ideas in my head for a site that's about people having avatars and frolicking around the interwebs (inspired more by summer wars than anything). There would be a separate online & offline experience, and I was debating combining anime & rl fcs onto one site and am super keen to the idea.

The website (escapist.net haaa I'm so clevur) is something that links everybody in the world, you can log in on your phone, computer, tablets, etc. and it's a mixture of social networking and games (i assume), there can be matchmaker/romance, IM/social, and even MMORPG sectors. Escapist.net would basically combine all of the individual websites that we are on into one - linking everyone together worldwide (the idea of Oz & such). You rp on Escapist.net as your avatar (anime fc) and in the real world as your actual character (rl fc).

I was also thinking there would be Escapist.net Staff (Admins, Moderators, & etc - potentially "canon" characters), Civilians, & maybe non-users? Idk about the non-users tho. Important threads about how to rp on the site, as well as in real life will be explained.

BASICALLY, I need help developing this site / bouncing ideas with people. So this is like 40% staff search, 40% interest check, & 20% plot help/development. SO YEAH. Please respond here with ideas, if you're interested, and/or if you want to help! <3 This is definitely not something that is going to be "coming soon" or whatever, and will probably be in the works for a super long time. So...yeah.

This sounds like a super amazing concept that I'd love to help out with! I know I overextend myself but you said this isn't happening very soon soooo

Sooo yes I am here to help if you'd like (◕◡◕✿)

I agree with Habbue, and this concept sounds amazingly great and would seeming attract many, many users to flock around it (or just lurk). But if you want to talk about, I'm totally here since it isn't happening any time soon~

I gotta hand it to you, this is quite the original concept. If executed properly, it has the potential of being a powerhouse (then again, what site doesn't coming out of the gate?), However, I imagine you will always have to be on top of things to keep it fresh.

The only questionable thing is the FC. Subjectively, I dislike when RL is incorporated into roleplays. Objectively, there are many who share the same opinion or plead the opposite. You would inadvertently be isolating those who want one or another. (I wouldn't -not- join because of that, I just wanted you to know the possibility exists.)

okay so my b, turns out i discussed this with shattering glass ages ago and forgot about it so some of this is her idea and some of it is mine. i totally forgot that we talked about it. ;A; but um, i'll definitely keep you guys in mind if you want to help~ since we'll somehow be working together

also to the fc dilemma since half of the anime community said they didn't care about fcs anyway

This idea sounds really fun! I don't know anything about anything so I'm not sure how much help I'd be, so I guess this is just me enthusiastically raising my hand for interest check. Personally, I love the idea of rl and animanga fcs (and I'm assuming animanga fcs won't be limited to 'human' looking ones, because that would be even better!). But yes this is good do this.

[WRATH]

It might take a lot of legwork to get off the ground (but isn't it always) but I like the idea very much; I'm not a massive fan of rl face claims but that may just be because I'm not used to them, but there's always going to be people who go any which way in terms of opinion.

I would be willing to help with ideas and whatnot, and if I have enough time when it opens I would be 100% okay with joining. Also Jcink because that new sub-account feature is a godsend (and it also might work better with the combined anime/rl face claim thing you're considering).

RE: edit because I took so long with this post, but tl;dr it's a great idea and you both should run with it if you can.
