Pleasepleaseplease read before we try to start a roleplay!
I don't like to stop RPs because of some transgression, especially since by then we've spent so much time working out the background. It makes me feel bad, it makes you feel bad. So please read the rules and expectations!
I am a mid-twenties English (Lit) BA graduate, currently living in Baltimore, MD (USA).
Words are my passion, but I've been stuck in a convenience store job for over two years now. To relieve the stress I'd like to write. Won't you write with me?
I admit I haven't roleplayed in about eight years. In that time, I've gone through college. I wanted to be an English teacher, but that is neither here nor there.
What I'm getting at is simple - RP with me and help me relearn!
Rules:
- For romance or mature activity, I only do m/m. I'm sorry.
- I enjoy NSFW RPs, but we need to discuss squicks and preferences beforehand. I am decently flexible, but certain things are no-goes. I'm sure you're the same.
- I like action and adventure, so ho-hum hookup setups won't interest me. Slice-of-life can be fun if done well, but don't be offended if I tell you I am not feeling it.
- Understand that a character who doesn't like yours doesn't mean /I/ dislike /you/. Conflict is good, it drives the story. Fight, rage on, argue! Almost kill each other if you must! Life's no fun if it's all fluff.
- Be honest. If you don't like something, say so. We can redirect. Don't try to RP through something awful. Pretend we're exploring each other - is it good? Bad? I love to get to know my RP friends OOC too.
Expectations:
- Please at least give me a paragraph to work with. Even if it's describing how your character can't respond or won't respond, it builds something for me to reply to. Body language, setting, thoughts - something is happening somewhere. Let me know. I'll try to match your pace, so if you write walls of descriptive text, I'll try to respond in kind. I know how frustrating a one-liner can be when you've given so much.
- Please spell as well as you can. Typos are to be expected, but consistent spelling errors break immersion.
- Please don't expect to leap straight into Mature Content territory, unless the characters have a previous known relationship. Especially when RPing OCs or characters who don't know each other very well, the development is important!
Guidelines:
- I prefer RPing over e-mail. If you have another forum where mature content is allowed, let me know, but I do not RP (SFW or otherwise) through notes.
- RPs through messenger could prove difficult as I have a variable work schedule and am rarely able to get on.
- Don't be surprised or upset if it takes me time to reply; I may be at work or dealing with my family. I'll extend you the same courtesy.
- I can do either role in mature situations, but some of my characters may be resistant to some roles. For fandoms, I will try to match the character's personality, and for my OCs, most [but not all] are able to be switch.
