Okay, time for Part Two! Now that you know the basics of how to use Dreamwidth to tag or have a discussion, let's talk about what tags usually look like!
Now, technically, if you and a friend come from somewhere else to use Dreamwidth for RP, it's not like you have to follow any of these "rules". But DWRPers are used to these kinds of tags, so you're probably going to see them if you play with us. And, honestly? We think our way of doing things is pretty neat and we hope you think it's neat too.
Generally, there's two RP styles that you see in DWRP: prose, and...there's actually a few different names for the second one. So far we've just been using unaltered dialogue.
