Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado, I bring you the new-and-improved Legends Station RP board!
To start an RP, post a thread for the RP containing the RP's rules and the basic story in the original post, along with any maps or supplemental guidelines you may have created for the game, like whether you want to have a time limit, or whether OCs are allowed or not. That's it. No bureaucracy, no waiting to be approved. Just make the thread and go...though the best RPs tend to be created with a specific goal for the end in mind.
Since this is a Legends Board, it's got to be somewhat set in the Legends Universe, and whoever starts an RP here has to be able to commit to seeing it through to the end as the GM (Game Master). The GM is responsible for ensuring that the players follow whatever guidelines and canon they set up within their own RP
It is the GM's responsibility to set up a discussion thread for their RP as well, to make sure all the players are on the same page, and give them direction to advance the plot. Players can use these to communicate with each other, too, discuss their next moves, and ensure that everyone's on the same page. The individual discussion threads may also be used for players to submit OCs to the GM for approval. It often helps to have the major plot points set in advance so you've got a direction to go in--that makes the story a lot easier to finish!
And yes, finishing is possible. White, Specific, and I managed to finish a short RP just this past week.
Last but not least, the MMLS forum rules still apply here, so keep that in mind when you post. Have fun!

I do not recommend this course of action because RPs of this nature tend to stop in the middle due to waning interest and a lack of control from the leader, but I won't stop you from starting one.
