so...i was wondering. do your parents/family know that you roleplay? do your friends know? have you ever been caught on a roleplaying site?
personally, my parents don't know. when they ask me what i'm doing, i usually just tell them i'm writing. ;D
i think only one of my real life friends know. she actually used to be a member here. =O
those scary sex bdsm people give us a bad name.
roleplaying is just making a story with another person! no big deal...haha, try telling my parents that.

my boyfriend is the only person who knows, and it was because he walked into my room when i was writing a reply, so i closed windows fast and he thought i was cehating on him or something so i had to explain. ;__;

I still do the whole exiting out of windows really quickly when people walk into the room, but no one really asks about it. I just say that I don't like people reading over my shoulder - which they seem to accept because I use the term 'writing' to explain my time spent roleplaying. I've gotten really lax about it lately, though, I don't bother exiting out of the window (because I actually live with my boyfriend and it gets tedious). He knows that roleplaying exists, but he also makes fun of people who do it. But on the other hand, we do LARPs like D&D so I'm not sure what the big deal is. I think the only reason I haven't flat out told him is because I do a lot of slash roleplays and it's kind of hard to explain to your boyfriend that you write from the perspective of a homosexual male...?

my parents have no idea they wouldn't understand what it is anyway. they would prob think it's my way of telling them i'm a lezzer. i have been caught once as you know that sucked ass, especially when she was like 'do u write gay things' god what a whore.

I told my mom a long time ago on Neopets, that if anyone hits on me that I levae/block/report---which I do. I'm here to write not get hit on. She's okay with it as long as I get my work done. My friends all role play, I don't role play with them though because they all do slash. >D Um..Does Neopets count?

I don't mind the fact that other people know. My best friend and I got into it in sixth grade and we'd go to the computer lab every morning to rp XD ah, good times. But she doesn't rp much anymore because she can't find a good site and her lifestyle is kind of on fast pace right now. I tried getting my other best friend into it but she would never stay active ^^;. I used to do RPing out in the open but I got really annoyed when every person would come over and ask me what it was and saying "A role play" wasn't good enough and next thing I know I'm explaining the whole damn thing out to everyone. So yeah...I do it more secretly now.
AS for my parents? Well, when it comes to computers they are paranoia freaks so I had to tell them. They think it's cool and as long as I keep it anonmynous they don't seem to care at all. They think it's interesting and my mom is always asking to read them but of course I say "absolutely not"

=DDD
My parents would absolutely die if I told them I wrote stories about gay guys. Well...they'd probably have heart attacks and I'd probably die. =D
My brother caught me on the Neoboards once when I was younger and told my parents I was going into chat rooms, so they gave me this big warning about internet predators. I'm pretty sure they're so technologically disabled that they believe every person on the internet is a pedophile.
Oh, and I think my brother also saw my other site once when it was my homepage and I had a staff side box with my name in it and my character. I bet I had him wondering.
