Agree completely. Oh my god, the stories I have... RP is for fun and stress relief, not to get your panties in a twist for something that's imagination-only. I've met some really great people through RP, though. Two sides to every coin, I suppose.
A+! Brilliant plan.
I like playing AUs - not necessarily "Glee in Hogwarts" or "Glee in the 1800's" or anything like that, but more of a "what if?". A Quinn I played with frequently on LJ and I were being quite snarky during the "Glee: TNG" craze on LJ and we tweaked it (mostly because we were cranky that they'd set Puck/Lauren as a permanent pairing in the verse). She was married to Sam, Puck was married to Lauren, and Puck and Quinn were having an affair. We got everybody in on it - it was actually quite interesting. My verse with my Rachel is very loosely based on "The City" by smc-27... I think that there's plenty of room for characters and development but you really do need to go beyond canon for that.
(The problem with invite-only play is that it makes it difficult to find other good players without weeding through some miserable/dramatic ones.)
