1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Posting Stories Featuring BJD?

Mar 14, 2022

    1. I consider myself primarily a writer (as opposed to an artist or photographer), and I've had a giant burst of inspiration coming up with a little life for the two BJDs I've ordered. What I've been writing isn't a fic per se, as it doesn't have a plot but it's more slice of life moments as you see their relationship develop after meeting. It does have a fantasy element (foreign exchange college student meets a guardian weasel spirit who decides the student is His Person).

      I could have sworn that I saw a role-playing sub on DoA, but for the life of me I can't find it so I was probably imagining things xD. A forum search doesn't come up with anything promising. I can't post to photostories, as I don't actually have the dolls yet and even if I did it'd be mostly text with maybe one picture per snippet (with the biggest snippet being a little over 2 pages in Word) and I don't feel that's appropriate or particularly adds to the experience.

      Is there an appropriate area to post something like this? Would anyone even be interested?

    2. Den of Angels does not have a place for roleplay. Everything on the forum must be based on actual BJDs and BJD ownership. There are many mentions around the forum of people shelling OCs, but that's the extent of it. You can write stories about any OC whether or not there is a doll made to look like them, so it is Off Topic.

      edited to add, there are certainly people who do roleplay offsite. I am not sure who has an active community for it, I assume there's a Discord?

    3. Oh, yeah, that makes sense! I didn't think of it that way, thank you for the explanation!

      I'll try hunting around for a community for it, sadly I'm out of the loop since the days of LiveJournal XD
