    Eirik Fatland on Safety

    Written by

    Famous larp theorist Eirik Fatland has written a piece about safe words and safety at larps. Here is the first paragraph of his text:

    So, there is a fairly standardized pair of safewords used at a lot of larps around here – “kutt” which means “Cut! Stop!” and “brems”, which literally translates as “brake!” and means “slow down, buddy – don’t stop roleplaying but do less of whatever it is you’re doing to me”. These safety rules are exposed to constant scrutiny, and it is frequently claimed (for example at the player safety debate at Solmukohta 2012) that they “don’t work”.

    Reddit Interview Technique for Fleshing Out Characters

    Written by

    IAmAFiction is a subreddit meant to be used for fleshing out fictional characters through online interviewing

    If you are working on developing an invented character for creative writing, roleplay, or pure novelty, this is the place to expose your character to the world and subject them to questioning to help you flesh them out.

    IAmA posts work just like a regular IAmA post, except the poster assumes the role of his/her character.

    Please be a good IAmAfic citizen and comment on other people’s submissions as well as your own. Remember, they’re not real people — so no need to be shy!
