Roleplays. I've been an avid roleplayer for a long time and have really enjoyed it. When I first came to AFF, it was not exactly what I was expecting when I found a roleplay. I thought Wow, people will find a way to use the system for it. I still don't really understand how it works here, even though I've been trying. I guess I should probably ask for help. That's beside the point.

I don't remember the first one I clicked on, but holy hell, it had a stylized layout and everything, and chapters were used for subsections and there were categories like masterlists of characters ( K-Pop idols, that is ), wishlists for characters, fun little freebies and all that other stuff. Some of these roleplays took place on Facebook, others on Twitter, and I just thought to myself This is one hell of a way to think ouside the box. I've honestly never seeing roleplaying done the way it is on this site, and it's truly beyond my imagination and it also feels like it's beyond my reach.

My first run-in with roleplaying on a different site other than the one I regular was on Gaia. There, I understood it a little more because It went post-by-post in the forum, much like how I've been used to it – but here . . . Here it's way different. At first, I thought maybe the roleplays used the comments, but why that? It leaves no room for other creativity. Truth betold, I still don't understand how it works.

The layouts are another thing that really get me; roleplays here go up and beyond. 

Whenever I stumble upon a layout shop or a roleplay, I'm usually in awe because wow, I'm ty at coding, but these guys . . . Some of these guys are crazy talented, and I might even go as far as to say they're creative genuises for using the site in the way that they have. I give them props.

This extends onto posters. Story posters. Jesus, I'm a graphics artist ( I made the banner of this blog post ), but I can never imagine being as good as some of these guys. Ugh, I feel a bit jealous at their skill, but all the more reason to continue to improve. Another thing that gets me is . . . Where the hell does everyone get the stock images? I feel like I go mad looking for HQ stock images of VIXX. I guess I'm just not looking hard enough.

If anyone knows some good places, I would be more than happy to oblige those downloads.

In any case, AFF is full of not only writing talent, but video-making talent, graphics talent, and just . . . It's bursting with creativity, and really, I feel like I can only learn from the best.
