Eddie's Wants & Limits

[Lucy Serrano-Blaise]

PLAYER WANTS

What is your plotting philosophy?
I very much prefer spontaneity and realistic plot twists to planning the whole shebang out. I can't say I recall a time on Hammel where I've planned what's going to happen in a whole thread. Hook me up with the how - how they got in the same room. I've got little to no interest in planning the process of a relationship unless we're trying to establish a pre-existing connection. A lot of my characters have been here for years, and I'm happy to have pre-build friendships and such! Maybe even an old romance that went awry. But if we're starting fresh, come along for the ride!

What types of plots are you interested in playing?
All types. I'll only ever say no to an idea if it's outside the personal limits of my character; they can bend, but they won't break for a plot. Realism is key.

What types of plots are you not interested in playing?
Like I said, I'm open to a hellovalotta stuff. If you play it realistically, I'm playing along. It's only when it veers off course that I get hesitant. I can roll with violence, abuse, disorders and the like, but if I have a legitimate reason to feel concern that you, or I, or we're not hitting the respectful mark of those issues, I won't be keen.

That said, I can't pre-plot character romances. I just can't. I don't find them engaging - the most compelling thing to me is to watch those kind of interpersonal connections grow as naturally as possible. The most I can tell you is that my character might be interested in yours. If you're not okay with that, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

How often can you reply to any given thread?
I like to think I give a decent amounts of posts during any given day. Sometimes other threads flag my attention and I might be lax, but I use that term harshly against myself. If you've been waiting more than three days, you have every right to ask me WTF I'm doing. I welcome it! Seriously, I do.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
I'll wait as long as you want. A week. A month. I don't care. If you find the means to come back to it and you're still keen? So am I, love.

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?
I'm... Not. Not usually. Not unless there's a fair reason for it. Ask me if you wanna, we'll talk!

Are you open to post volleying?
Yes. More often than not, I get swept up into them. If this happens and it bugs you, please tell me. But if I'm free, I can usually volley with several people at once. A couple of Hammelites will attest to that.

Anything else?
Don't be afraid to drop a plot off with me in chatango; edwardsonbebop. It's no secret I'm Australian, and it means my time zone is a little messed up compared to most others (read: I'm in the future!).

I'm meticulous about keeping my plots in order. If we've decided something, I'll have made a note about it. I ask that you keep track of our plots, just as I do. Cheers in advance.

Please don't find me daunting or unapproachable. I encourage you to talk to me.

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
If you want to have your character, for example, punch mine in the face - I generally ask that you write the action as openly as possible. Say he or she threw a punch/hit/slap/whatever, don't say it connected. If you want to discuss it before it's written, we can hash out whether or not, realistically, the proverbial hit would have landed.

If our characters haven't connected in a while (due to whatever reason) I ask that you check with me regarding their status before making assumptions. If I go away, I don't want anything assumed of their nature in my absence. Just because I'm busy doesn't mean they are!

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
Organic connections and growth, please. I have nothing against your pre-planned ships, but I genuinely don't have any, and I have no interest in them.
Love triangles? Sure! They happen, and I love them.
If your character doesn't like mine, please feel free to reject them.
As such, please don't hate me if mine don't like yours..?
Age is rarely a factor in my love.

What are your limits in regards to sex (within the TOS)?
Sex is a part of life. As such, it's a part of my character's lives. I adhere to ToS. Some of my characters have forced me to build a comfortable shack riiight by the FtB line. I lead up to it, imply it, and I have no issue doing so.

It's hot. There, I said it.

What are your limits in regards to violent scenes (within the TOS)?
I have no issues with violent scenes. If you're okay, I'm okay.

What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?
If you ever want to go this way with me, let's talk about it. I've got no issue writing it out.

Anything else?
Hey, lovelies.

I'd love it if you all felt you could come to me if I do something wrong. If I upset you, let's talk. If my characters upset you *cough*Lucy*cough* and you feel like it was a little too personal, again, let's talk. I don't direct my emotions through my characters. I see them as their own entities. Their own people. I don't control them, and I hope you believe me when I say that.

I know I look like a busy girl. I have a lot of threads in the air at once. But if you want a thread or a plot, I'm always open. I promise, I'll always make time for you - whoever you are.
