PLAYER WANTS

I suppose I would summarize my writing wants by saying that I'm looking for fun writing partners and interesting plots, dynamics, or interactions. I aim for my work to read like a book, and I am fond of users who stand out.

I'll probably start with short interaction role plays and one-off plots until I find people to plan more long term work with.

I want to find long term writing partners.

What are your favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?

I am an eclectic. I like variety.

What are your least favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?

I'm not looking for a conventional hero story or archetypal antagonist. I can read something from Tor for that, right?

What are your favorite character types to play?

Well, right now my only main/player character is Antique, but I may invest in new ones if things go that way.

Are you a planner or a pantser? Do you prefer to pre-plan and stick to a script when posting, or do you prefer to surprise and be surprised?

I prefer to communicate and plan out of character. I don't think I prefer to stick to a script so much as a general plan where we can work out questionable details. Letting conversations and actions feel organic is cool.

How do you feel about group threads?

2 Player = Trade off posting
3+ Player = Posting Order I just prefer it.

How often can you reply to any given thread? How long should a partner wait before nudging you for a post?

We should communicate about that. I work a lot and my conditions are inconsistent, so sometimes I can post often, others not. Feel free to nudge me whenever and I'll be honest about my availability.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?

Depends on the conditions. I guess I'm heavy on communication relevant to these questions.

How do you feel about instant messenger RP?

Sorry, not my style. I prefer the asynchronous thing.

Ho do you feel about post volleying/rapidfire RP?

Super fun for weekends when I've got nothing else going on.

What's your preferred posting style? Long posts? Short posts? Anything and everything?

Long posts. I aim for excellence (though I may not be excellent) and I love to read awesome posts.

Any RP styles/habits that you love?

Detail I guess? Or at least distinct styles. I've known some cool writers.

Any RP styles/habits that you avoid?

Yeah, I'm not into the competitive power fantasy arguing scene.

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
(For instance, do you mind if someone grabs your character? Picks them up? Punches them?)

Yeah, I go with the consent thing. I'm not here to do some kind of fiction debate dance. If it seems more likely, or otherwise better that your punch lands, I'm all for it. Maybe I could throw you a paragraph, I dunno.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
(What are you comfortable with and not comfortable with? Do you prefer to pre-plot relationships or let them happen organically? Are you open to IC-rejection or love-triangles? Age differences? Etc.)

Yeah, I guess I'm into a sort of "realistic" or grounded approach to writing, and I'm not too shy with topics or approaches if it seems cool.

What are your limits with regards to graphic content such as sex, violence, drug use, sexual assault, etc? What is your comfort level?

See above, though, here, I should note that if it seems like the reason is fetishistic or you're otherwise glorifying horrible situations, I'm out.

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?
(Are you okay with pregnancy in plots? Miscarriages? Loss?)

Sure? This comes back to not being into fetish-focused writing though.

What about healing?
(For example, a blind character magically being able to see, a scarred up character having their scars repaired, etc.)

Why not? Sounds interesting to explore if it's in good taste.

What about characters being transformed against their will? (Think vampires, werewolves, and magical spells.)

If that's what interests you for your character, let's see how you write it.

Anything else?

Not as of yet.
