...except I don't get how it works

journal posts are on regular character journals instead of posted to a comm I guess?

Yes

I can answer questions.

can you use the same character journal as for another RP

Like for say Ruby City and Luceti?

Yes

what if you are in two RPs that have character journal post methods to your actual DW account, what is the etiquette for that I wonder

I also know one girl who uses the same journal for Luceti and Route

I don't know how that works, to be honest.

it's all very puzzling

It's probably fairly frowned upon.

Usually, you really only want the account you're using it for to be for the games

belatedly: thank you Aerith!

did you know none of your replies came up last night and so I was actually talking to myself and yet it looks like we had an actual conversation which I find hilarious

but your responses are very helpful xD

Any time.

Ask me. I have three characters there and I'm apping a second
