PLAYER WANTS
What is your plotting philosophy?
My plotting philosophy.... It really depends on the type of thread. Usually I'm cool letting things ride, but once one of us has an awesome idea, I like to work toward that and have a goal in mind. If there's a perfect set-up that's coming together, I want to play out a punch line.
Alternatively, I sometimes do have a specific plot in mind, in which case I really don't want to have that change without discussion. Changing it isn't impossible, I just need a moment or two to alter my head canon to fit with the new plan or lack of plan, and recalibrate my posts. ^^
I would say I like plot twists, but only if they're mutually decided upon.
What types of plots are you interested in playing?
I like really emotional plots, romance, and awkwardness. A good mix of all three is ideal. Or at least the emotional and the awkward. I also love love love writing seductions, flirtations, and horrible mistakes. And I can go very dark.
What types of plots are you not interested in playing?
Day to day monotony.
How often can you reply to any given thread?
Oh lord. Depending on the threa and how busy I am... I've been known to volley several posts for one thread in a day. Generally, when I'm not too busy, it shouldn't take more than four days to get a reply up for any given thread. When I am stress-free, I can get replies out in a two days or less, and when I'm heavily stressed I may disappear.
If you are threading with me, feel free to ask for my cell phone number or Facebook info and bug me all you want about replying. It really helps. Until I tell you I'm working on it, then you can back off.
What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
I've waited for weeks. I really prefer to get a reply within a week-week and a half, but I know that's probably hypocritical. I'm willing to wait for a couple months, but I won't be happy. I'd much prefer instantaneous responses, but we all know that just isn't possible.
Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available?
*sigh* Not really, cause I don't have a good one. The closest thing I have that I will use is either Facebook messages (best on my iPod) or google docs (best on my laptop). I prefer Facebook for instant messaging because I can always refer back to previous posts, and it transfers between devices.
At the moment, I am most often available 3-10:30EST M, Th, Fr, Sat on the laptop, and another couple hours on my iPod. This will change when I go to school. On Tuesdays I sometimes have appointments which make it more like 2:30-3:30pm, 6-10:30pm. On Wednesdays I can sometimes manage posting 10:30am-1:00pm, but mos often will only be available 5-10:30pm. And on Sundays I like to sleep a lot, and frequently don't take my adderall, which cuts my post number in half for the day, if I get any done at all.
Are you open to post volleying?
Yup. The best way to do that is to just do it. Keep letting me know you've tagged me, and if I'm really into the thread I will do my best to volley back. If my muse is lacking, I'll let you know that it might be a few hours or a day or two before I'll get something out.
Anything else?
Seriously, guys. I disappear somewhat often and the best way to get yourself at the top of my posting list is to be enthusiastic and positive and bug the hell out of me.
PLAYER LIMITS
What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
I like to be given the chance to avoid godmoding, if I can. The best way to do this would be either leaving an action open for reaction (pausing in the narrative, not moving on past it) or shooting me a quick text or pm just verifying that an action is okay. Frequently, it will be. I definitely have some characters that I'm more willing to have godmoded, or that are less likely to react.
When it comes to scene openers, or individual posts, I'll let you know if something you write doesn't fit.
What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
All romance is good by me. The one thing I don't like is going into something expecting romance and not getting it. So please make that part clear. And by romance, I also mean flirtation.
I like to know before going into a thread, but surprise romantic interest is also fun!
What are your limits in regards to sex (within the TOS)?
I prefer to play it out, honestly, so if a plot is going in that direction and you aren't interested in playing out once it fades to black let me know. I'm still totally cool writing it, it's just super awkward to have to ask "so, um, they do the sexy sex thing now right?" Cause I don't want to offend anyone.
What are your limits in regards to violent scenes (within the TOS)?
Violence is cool by me, but most of my characters don't really get into those situations. If it's something like combat, I like to discuss it if possible, so I know just how bad each person is gonna get hurt. Otherwise, I'm usually all for playing it out, just ask ^^
What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?
I am usually fine playing out dark themes, but just make sure to run it by me. Serious stuff really needs to be planned, at least vaguely, or I'll feel pushed into a plot I'm not interested in. I am perfectly fine playing out the scenes. I will warn you, however, that the frequency of posting may vary on darker threads. Depending on my mood, they may be more active than my frivolous threads, or it may take me a couple of days to find the right headspace for it.
Anything else?
Um.... I'm a bit of a smut machine. Sex and depression are my two favorite things to write. Sometimes at the same time, cause that gets real emotional. ...Just let that be known.
