dressing rooms

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.

	6wordstories has entries posted just about every day. sceneandsay is a little less active, but even then, the latest post was on Oct. 19th. I personally know a lot of people who use these comms, so if you wanted to open another, affiliating with them might be a good opportunity to get the word out as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There's phantasos_dr and its smut counterpart, erato_dr. IJ has a dear_mun, too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Coming back to this a few days later because a friend told me about endless_hotel, a DR he set up a few months ago. It's sort of dead, but he hopes to revive it at some point. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Man, I would love to find something freeform/appless targeted towards OCs. (Reply to this)
