Roleplaying & Writing Resources

[sonicanomaly]

Tired of letting great resources go unused because I didn't feel like picking apart my watch list to figure out which usernames went to what kind of things, I decided to do just that - once. I might have missed a few specifications (such as icon journals which also have graphics), but I tried my best to organize these in a useful manner.

This list contains mostly insanejournal based resources (with a few others tossed in where relevant) and is nowhere near exhaustive even if rather long.
