polyvore was the original site, but urstyle has replaced it since it died

in general, the format is as follows:

-GM (mod) writes up "pre made characters" (like a paragraph or a few bulletpoints about the character, sometimes with provided name/age/fc), which multiple people can "audition" for by filling out the CS

-CSes (auditions) are accompanied by "sets", aka collage-ish things to show the aesthetic and stuff of the character

-GM picks who gets to play each character after CS/audition process is over

-usually followed by a plotting period, where people message each other with ideas and char first impressions and such

-the "IC RP" itself is basically one post ("story") per event (GM provides lil blurbs about each event), accompanied by a set for each event. people would make the set and ask people to comment to include their characters and/or work out inclusions via PM beforehand. there's a greater degree of freedom re: controlling other people's characters than there is on here (you can write into your story that someone else's character said something or w/e, and obviously if the person who the character belongs to objects you change it but more often than not people don't seem to have too much of a problem)

not sure how well I explained this but happy to link examples lol

I sort of understand, but I'm also stupid. I'll gladly take those examples though. I'm even more curious than before.
