Elsinore's Do's and Don'ts!

[Nora Marie "Nory" Gwinn]

ELLIE'S WANTS

Nora Marie Gwinn, Rhea Hartman, Adam Deulane

What is your plotting philosophy?
Flexible! A premise is nice, sometimes a more outlined plan if we want something specific to happen, but I love being surprised. Half the fun of RP is not knowing what's coming in the next post!

What types of plots are you interested in playing?
This will vary a lot depending on which character I'm playing with. I love platonic relationships and bouncing extreme characters off each other, and I have a particular soft spot for mentor/mentee relationships. I love humor in rp, and I will go for amusing over drama 100% of the time. I do like to have a catalyst to the thread, or some reason the characters are interacting with each other beyond "I came over to say hi." Teacher's lounge threads bore me to death. Unless, you know, the teacher's lounge is on fire.

What types of plots are you not interested in playing?
Romance. Sorry people. It's just too hard to find characters with real chemistry and then handle it well, and when it's not done realistically I get frustrated and bored. I'm 100% down for horrible dates and rejections, or maybe dating briefly, but if I'm interested in an actual protracted romantic relationship I will contact you about it.

How often can you reply to any given thread?
A couple times a week, more if I feel like it, or once every week if I'm busy. If you are a slower replier I also tend to slow my own replies down, since there's no need to rush and I can spend more time on each post. I also have a weakness for editing and tweaking my posts if I know the reply won't show up for a while, sometimes four or five times, so make sure you re-read my last post before you reply.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
If the thread is interesting and you're just busy, indefinitely. If the thread is moving slowly because the characters aren't clicking, I'd rather just shelve it.

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?
Nope!

Are you open to post volleying?
Yes yes yes! I LOVE to volley! Pre-planned or spur of the moment are both great! However, when volleying I request that you let me know when you're done, otherwise I will sit at my computer for the next two hours hoping for another reply to show up.

Anything else?
I keep my total number of threads extremely limited. Like, 4 per character or 10 total threads, whichever comes first. This, unfortunately, means that I am not available for new threads very often. It also means that I commit to threads rather reluctantly, since I can only handle so many before I get overloaded. This doesn't mean that I don't want to thread with people, but it means we might have to wait, and if I end up saying no it's not because I don't like you.

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
Is there anyone who likes this? Gotta let my chars do their thang! I do often throw made-up background details into my posts just for fun, though I try to keep it to irrelevant details or things that don't affect the other player. If I EVER cross the line on this, please let me know and I will change it immediately and profusely apologize.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
I am not very interested in any kind of dating roleplays. Though I would be way more interested in some sort of romantic rejection or awful date than an actual romance, and crushes are cute.

What are your limits in regards to sex (within the TOS)?
See above. Not especially relevant.

What are your limits in regards to violent scenes (within the TOS)?
Not really any here. If it's within TOS, it's fine.

What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?
If you are a mature, sensitive writer who is trying to say something meaningful about abuse or rape via the expression of your character, then yes. Otherwise, absolutely not. It is disrespectful and hurtful to people who have experienced these things to do otherwise.

Anything else?
I live in PST, usually on in the evenings. I love to chat in the c-box and PM, so come say hi!
