OH! I get it. Helps the New User relax or test out new character ideas? That's why it is called Anxiety Trials.  That's actually really cool you guys had that. [last reply, too off topic]

i was never part of anxiety trials (and i actually don't remember the site at all) but actually if i had to guess, the site was a lot like any other stereotypical rp - they just also had an ic cbox and it probably was fairly active (since a lot of them tend to get very easily derailed or abused). any site could have an ic cbox, and in fact, you could even do the same thing over any private messager (like discord) or even largely in general since it's a lot of rapidfire rp.

to stay on topic, i guess i think it would be really cool to see a well-run legend of zelda site. get in on all that pre-botw2 hype.

a panfandom that's actually laidback on activity and doesn't force you to jump through hoops just to keep your characters. or to app more of them.

but also one that lets you take characters from any canon point (or if they die before the show ends) because listen... i want to see shenanigans like an adult naruto dealing with a teenage sasuke or a dramatic reunion of l with the fashion police and pajama boy and no one can stop me. and maybe aus too because listen i want to see a zelda from a universe where she beat up ganon herself and i'm not gonna lie about that. (no but honestly though this all just opens a whole lot more potential for characters and plots and i am so here for it.)

I was on a panfandom that allowed that once. I was Nick Wilde post-Zootopia movie, someone else was playing Judy from near the start. Oh the awkwardness had for Nick trying to figure out his feelings lol (because yes, I'm all on board that Nick x Judy ship). So can recommend that it can lead for some interesting plots.

oh i know it's super fun - i used to play a pre-nibelheim sephiroth on tumblr, and it was always super fun to play him against a post advent child cloud (or with any of the remnants) since he was just eternally confused and guilty. and i had a few threads for the opposite (where angeal was pre crisis core and not a mess) so there was a lot of tension with a reunion thread. and i still really want a thread one day for just. aerith forgiving sephiroth for what he did to her. sephiroth confronting zack for what he did to angeal and genesis. vincent squaring up and taking in sephiroth since nope hojo is a terrible parent.

like i understand that in some ways it's a lot easier to just. have everyone come from the same canon point since then everyone's working from the same frame of reference. but i've honestly had so much fun with threads where people did come from different points in time that even if my fave characters were all ones i could play in their current point in canon with no difficulties, i don't think i could go back to that.
