The Wizardposting Roleplayer's Quick-Guide
Since wizardposting has developed a pretty involved roleplay and creative writing community, the mod team thought it would be a good idea to create an index of helpful advice created by mods and users over the years. If you're involved in all that, or want to be, take a look around. Might find something of use.
* **RP Etiquette:**

If you're hurting for images to use or edit, the mod team recommends art-sharing subs like r/retrofantasyscifi and the many, many r/imaginary(topic) subs, such as r/imaginarywizards , r/imaginarytowers ,and r/imaginarymindscapes . There's one for pretty much everything, and r/imaginarynetwork has a great index of all of them. Pinterest is also useful, although be warned that sometimes AI generated images end up in there. Running an image you find on Pinterest through a reverse image search lets you find the original source to check, as well as credit the artist. Crediting the artist is strongly encouraged, but not required.
If you need help from an artist, r/CharacterDrawing exists to connect people with art requests with artists. No guarantee that they’ll accept, but you can shoot your shot and there’s a lot of good art already on there besides. And of course, if you’re willing to pay money there’s always r/hungryartists
