Where do the RPs go? (Seriously, where are they?)

I've been on the look out for the longest time, and each time I happen on something that looks really fun or something I'd want to get in on, it's either winding down or completely dead. :( I've been out of touch for years, and now that I'm graduated I could use an awesome community to roll around on and draw for.

I've been unable to find a directory on DA, forum rps seem hit and miss and I really don't want to do play-bys, getting into an IRC rp is sort of like getting into Fight Club, and so I've been leafing through DA rps link by link- but I encounter the above dilemma more often than not.

As for genres, I'm really open to most things. Diversity is nice, I like challenges. I'd love something biological horror, but I'm open to anything. Really my dream RP would be something similar to something I saw on gaia once- it was Island of Dr. Moreau style where OCs were being experimented on and released back onto an island, but the community was pretty hardcore drama'd early on and I never got to get in on it. I've had a few ideas of my own over the years but I don't think I would want to run a community at the moment.

Does anyone have any ideas/links/suggestions?

I love me some fandom RP. Original universe RP has never really been my thing, I like playing with established settings. P: Ever since I was a teeny babby playing horrid Mary-sues, even, RP has been a hobby of mine.

Currently my RP love (2 years and going at that!) is a neat little Soul Eater-based OC RP called 42 42 564 ([link]). We write over the top and ridiculous action and merrily slaying evildoers and eating their remains, all that good stuff you'd expect from an SE-based thingy.

Funny enough, I was referred there from dA, actually. I made a fandom OC randomly as I am wont to do, and one of the members there commented me asking if I RP'ed at all. I said I hadn't in a while but I could take a crack at it.

So I joined up and had fun times, and a dude joined up a little while later who I totally hit it off with and now our characters are pretty much a seriously funny and/or badass moron duo. Though my main man partner has the patience of a saint for me putting our current RP on hold for another fandom's hype ;-;

Anyhow... enough war stories from me. I hear Tumblr is a good place to look if you're curious to find RP. Good old Google is also a powerful tool. Really there's plenty of RP to be had, I think you just have to be persistent and know where to look.
