Hahaha I think the thing is clear as mud - but I do get exactly what you're saying.
Maybe the fact that for the prompt-based comms, I either write muses who are 'lonely' in their fandoms, or ones who are in active roleplay, no in-betweens. But whatever the case, when I post (to, say, TM), I either make a disclaimer, or post first to my journal and wait for feedback from the other muns before posting to the comm.
I don't know, maybe I've just been in a circle of writers who behave in a certain way out of courtesy. People who've been writing (a lot more than RP, some of them) for years. And they don't even have that rule spelled out for the comms we're together in, they just... do things that way. Maybe that's why I'm seeing the perceiving of these manners as an obstruction to writing as confusing.
