ROLEPLAY GUIDELINES (UPDATED)
Please read these before you ask me for an RP. I know it's kind of a lot, but reading this will ensure that you and I will have a much better and much more organized time discussing RP. These are a number of preferences I've developed from RPing in way too many places (dA, livejournal, tumblr, forums, IM, kik, gaia, the list goes on).
➜ REPLY FREQUENCY
I don't reply very frequently (maybe once a day max). I am a college student and I have a bunch of other responsibilities. Please do not pester me about posts, because I'll probably just quit replying altogether. Understand that real life obligations and my mental health come first.
➜ REPLY LENGTH
2-10 paragraphs. I'm pretty tired lately so 2-4 is a more common range, but I do break the 1k word mark if it warrants it. This is just an estimation though; reply length relies heavily on the RP and my partner. I expect at least 2 paragraphs from you, but you don't need to mirror me. That being said, I don't care if you can write a thousand words on average if the writing itself doesn't impress me. Remember folks: quality over quantity.
➜ DROPPING
I drop RPs often without warning. This has nothing to do with you, so please don't feel bad/start drama if I ditch. I have a lot going on and I might not have the energy to continue, or I might just be bored. This doesn't mean you're bad, it just means I have commitment issues.
➜ NSFW
I do not RP erotic content with minors. Otherwise, if it happens, it happens.
➜ NO DRAMA
I have a really low tolerance for bullcrap. Please don't give me any unnecessary headaches, passive-aggressiveness, rude behavior, etc. Just be civil if we have a disagreement.
➜ RUDIMENTARY THINGS
All in one section because I don't think I should even have to write about this, but I'm gonna do it for good measure. Basically, having decent grammar is a prerequisite to even being considered for RP. I also have a ton of writing/character pet peeves, so if I find that you're doing some of those, I'll probably reject you.
➜ OTHER
I love world building and writers with well-nuanced characters and a good understanding of them. I prefer relationships to be built up organically, and while I do romance, good luck trying to weasel your way into my OCs' hearts. Feel free to ask me for writing samples.
roleplay guidelines & preferences (OLD VERSION)
• i write 3 paragraphs MINIMUM. about 250-400 words. if i'm into the rp, expect anywhere from 3-6 paragraphs or 250-700+ words. i don't expect you to mirror me, but i do expect substance.
• i am very fucking picky with writing quality.
• i expect you to have a good grasp of your character or at the very least, how to write. i'm looking for people with an established writing voice.
• your grammar doesn't have to be perfect, but if i see you constantly switching between 1st pov and 3rd, or you continuously use the wrong spelling of your/you're, etc., i am probably not gonna rp with you.
• i require post samples. linking me to something you've written, such as an oc bio, will suffice.
• i am slow and a busy person. sometimes i just don't feel like rping. i also lose interest easily. it does NOT mean i hate you. if you can't handle those things, don't rp with me. i will tolerate no drama.
• i highly prefer rping over some medium over the computer because i love my keyboard. i have an rp forum dedicated to housing rps, so that's an option.
• i have been rping for a long ass time (like 9 years?) and i've seen some talented people. plenty who are not. it takes a lot to impress me, pal, so don't be offended if i'm not 100% head over heels in love with you.
• i don't really do romance since it takes quite a lot to impress me on a base level in the first place, so worming your way into any of my ocs' hearts is quite the feat. i will definitely entertain plots and discussion though.
• i LOVE to discuss and plot things. even if we don't actually rp it, i think it's a fun way to explore character interaction.
• i'm not terribly picky with genre, but i tend to avoid cliches unless you're pretty good. it mostly comes down to whether or not i like your character.
• i rp ocs strictly. though you can probably convince me to write you a dave strider if you give me good enough reason to. but that's basically it.
• i reuse ocs constantly. i tend to write for modern-based universes so my writing and character creation reflects that. however, i have a few nonhuman ocs, and i can easily adapt backgrounds to fit most settings.
• i also do not use fcs. i buy most of my art, so if you see anyone using anything that is on my oc weebly, tell me asap.
• i can do nsfw, but only with close friends or like, if i like the concept. i don't do nsfw with minors.
• please read my complete bios for my ocs before rping with me. or ask me about them if they are not posted here.
• for group rps, i expect civility and adherence to posting order. this helps shit go smoothly.
• i have quite a few ocs that are not listed on here. ask me about them!
• i am happy to provide writing samples as needed.
• i am reaaaally chill despite being kind of a stickler, so talk to me! it never hurts to throw something at me.
