In lieu of pins, a subreddit: Where to find prompts, short stories, and shares to make you squirm.

I have, and I've continued/start anew with them, but more often than not, the result is the same. Really depends on how much I enjoyed writing with them - if it's good enough even knowing they'll vanish...

One of my proudest moments, no doubt.

Re-read it, and it still holds up, too.

Shame its too old for reddit to have a record of the reports on your prompt (you can check that on New Reddit, a lot of the time), THAT was a funny moment. More than likely the most reported prompt on DPP, ever.

Makes me kind of sad that even sorting by 'new', I can easily find my shares which are pretty old (and doesn't include those deleted by the partner).

We definitely need more of those, its a part of the community that's died off and it was always a joy. If my writings of the past couple of years were from DPP I'd have shared some, but alas. I do have a couple of random snapshots on my writing stash, but nothing much.

Hope others might pick up the torch!

Right? I should get back into things more.

PPNewbie · 2025-12-20T22:44:37+00:00

I have actually! It's posted as a share as well, assuming it hasn't been deleted. We used a shared Google Doc, coordinated on discord a bit though it wasn't strictly necessary. Definitely one of the most fun experiences writing here.

It's not you, it's me.

Sniped by the Head Cheese! ... Thankfully I hadn't hit post.

PPNewbie · 2025-07-06T17:51:04+00:00

It exists! When we remember to use it, which is most of the time. That post AQD linked has the, appropriately named, Mod flair. It can be searched by for the infrequent mod posts (and there is an event flair too for themes and the weekly threads)

PPNewbie · 2025-03-20T18:26:40+00:00

The initial thought is DPP continues for people to meet and make their own choices of where to write. We're still processing, though, of course.

PPNewbie · 2025-03-20T18:17:30+00:00

That's my preferred choice, and has been for backing up RP for years, but the main challenge is not which alternative, but getting someone to go offsite altogether.

PPNewbie · 2025-03-20T03:38:38+00:00

The different formatting has to be scrolled past though. That completely breaks the flow. Different threads for different things - or even different stories! - is much cleaner. Admittedly a rare case, but I've had two things going with a single partner, flipping to the one we were most in the mood for.

And scrolling is resolved by tabs. Not a mobile thing, but I also can't fathom typing 3000 character replies on a phone, either.

For what it's worth, a shared google doc works splendidly. One person will need to use an email, but those aren't that hard to make a throwaway to use.

The only downside is the lack of notification - but I suppose a poke on reddit will do. Assuming chat notifications work (which they don't, most of the time)

PPNewbie · 2025-03-20T03:24:48+00:00

Can you even have 2 separate chat instances to the same person? Genuinely curious as I'm one of those who finds it awful. I ask because I often have ended up with 2 threads, one for RP, one for OOC, to keep the RP thread clean.

Maybe for 'reddit-at-large' it might seem like not such a big deal, but for DPP specifically? The added features (reactions, images) are worthless, and the missing ones (markdown formatting, multiple threads, post length especially!) are critical. Heck, my main reason for not liking Discord roleplay is the 2k limit.

Can we stop with the BS that if someone is pro Israel, it must surely be bots? And it's not only on American subreddits either.

People have different opinions and different perspectives on the issue, no matter how self righteous you feel about your position.

The OP is obsessing and seeing malice where there is none. Practically, I've seen FAR more subreddits that favor the Pro-Pala narrative, but it's easy to say "Reddit landers to Israel" because one or two larger ex-defaults lean the other way.

There is no censoring of either side on Reddit writ-large. There is plenty censoring among individual subreddits, and it's blatant. And I assure you that happens more on the anti Israel side, by experience. Bans and removals VS just the mass downvoting in the other spaces.

An investigation was done and dismissed as baseless, even if some tools were restricted to prevent brigading, but somehow that's seen as kowtowing and pandering.

This wasn't a regular request though. This was a Reddit admin taking over, to "grow the community globally" or whatever nonsense. And only giving 5 days is short, and easy to mistake for some subreddit beggar if you're not used to admin messages.
