Rp Tutorials

one of the reasons i prefer lj to ij when it comes to rp is that there are more open, freeform, appless rp communities on livejournal. games are great, but sometimes i want to voice-test a character before i app them, or i just feel like playing someone occasionally and not committing to a game. also i just really like the cracky nature of panfandom freeform rp. i don't think there are any open rp comms on ij -- at least, not any that are active. my questions today:

1. am i missing an active, open, freeform rp comm on ij? i know there's two versions of sws and a couple dressing rooms, but none of them have had a post in over a year.
2. would anyone be interested in starting one? or reviving one of the already-extant comms?
3. what ways might you suggest advertising such a comm? i think affiliating with high-traffic rp resources communities would be a good way, aside from occasional advertising on the usual communities, but i dunno. it seems like the way dressing rooms tend to stay active is just having interested people to begin with.
