Choosing a Directory pt. 1
A Guide to Tumblr KRP
Chapter Vocabulary
Directory - a roleplay; may have a theme or not; sometimes referred to as a "family"
theme - genre; type
general - general directory, not to be confused with the General universe; a directory lacking a theme
independant - a Muse not belonging to a directory
admin - administrator; a person responsible for running a directory
Now you've got a Muse with a background and a universe, and you want to start roleplaying, but you've got no where to put them! In Tumblr KRP, there are a lot of places for you to go, to make friends and grow your character. Those places are called Directories, and there are a few that I'll mention here. The ones that I do mention are more than willing to help any new roleplayer in need!
Depending on the theme of the directory, you may be inclined to join just by the looks of it, but never forget to check when they last posted (to make sure they're active!), their masterlist (to see if your Idol is avaliable), and their About page (to see what they're really about!)
There are directories that lack themes, and Muses that lack directories. Those directories are called "General" (not to be confused with the "General" universe), and those Muses are called "Independant". In a general directory, there is no real theme to the directory; they're just a group of people huddled together, and they actually tend to be the biggest of all of the directories, due to their lack of heavy themes and interpersonal conflict. Independant Muses may talk with anyone from any directory, and do not participate in as many events. This could be for a number of reasons, but it really depends on the person.
Earlier I mentioned directories with different types of themes. These themes can range from loose and light, to tight and heavy. It all depends on the type of place you are looking to put your Muse. There are directories that run like cities, and directories that run like clubs and malls and stores and hotels, and almost everything you can think of! Every place is different, despite how similar two may look. If one doesn't strike your fancy, there is usually another similar to it out there, with a different set of members and Admins.
Here are a few directories with different types of themes:
