Rules

1. Read Everything. Really now, be logical. I didn't type up all this information for shits and giggles. I want you to read through my rules, fancies, limits, and possibly the F.A.Q as well. Give my sample posts a skim, because that's what you'll be getting from me. They are there for a reason. Please utilize their existence. Thank-you.

2. I role-play with literate to advanced persons only. I would like replies to be between 2-3 paragraphs long, with correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Typos happen, yes I know, and I'm quite willing to forgive you for them. On a side note, I know that writing up a good post can take time. I advise you to take it! I won't get mad, promise. I'd prefer if you took twenty minutes to write something beautiful and creative, then five and hand me something dreadful. Also, I'm not perfect, and I'm not demanding perfection from you. Mistakes happen.

3. Interact with my characters. If I'm doing up the introduction, your next post must have your character interacting with mine. If I wanted to play by myself I'd write a book. I'll drop you like a hot rock if you reply to my 'character walking down the street' with your 'character walking down the street' without a single word said between them. And this doesn't stop at introductions. Give me something to reply to. Which brings me to the next rule...

4. Give me something to reply to. If you can write eight paragraphs per post, that's great. But what's the content of those paragraphs? If you're only describing what your character is wearing/thinking/did fifty years ago I can't respond, and that's what roleplaying is all about. Try leaving an opening for character interaction, having your character doing something.

5. I prefer male x male. You'll be hard pressed to convince me to do otherwise, but I am capable of male x female and female x female. I do not believe in seme/uke/what-have-you roles. I'm not interested in a static relationship where one person is a submissive, whiny, girly-boy and the other is a dominant ass-hole. Dominance struggles intrigue me, and my characters aren't interested in girls with dicks.

6. I have very few limits. That means I'm up for almost anything. And I probably won't roleplay with someone who does have limits, so please keep this in mind when applying. I enjoy violence in my roleplays and opening up rather taboo subjects. Violent, swearing, and sex don't bother me in the least. Please see 'limits' section for details.

7. I despise despies and mary-sues. I simply refuse to roleplay with anyone who plays one. Characters have faults. No one is perfect, and you're not always going to stumble across your 'dream guy'. On the same thread, I'm not fond of 'emo' characters. I will not roleplay with any 'emo' character. On the same note, I enjoy mature, adult characters to teenagers. The majority of my characters are over twenty years old. Although I do have teen characters, and older characters I can make into teens, I prefer to roleplay adults. Thank-you.

8. If you don't see something, ask! I have a very lengthy list of genres, but you are by no means limited to that. Feel free to request anything that's not mentioned. The only exception is the case of fandom roleplays. Generally speaking, if it's not listed, I won't do it. I'm not familiar with too many animes/mangas, I very rarely watch television, I tend to stick to obscure/foreign film, and I'm not sure 'Principles of Historical Linguistics' is roleplay material.

9. I prefer plots above meandering, pointless, drivel. I like it when characters are headed in some sort of direction, with a goal or two in mind. Now don't get me wrong, winging it is all well and fine for short term roleplays, but it's hard to keep a longterm going without some semblance of a plot. I have a great many plots of my own, and I'm always willing to listen to others' as well. On the same topic, try to intersperse a few plot twists here and there. That goes for both of us.

10. PLEASE only request roleplays through PM or e-mail. I will only roleplay over E-Mail or PM (for gaia or private rp boards). No instant messengers, sorry.

11. I'm damn picky. If I lose interest, I'm probably just going to stop replying. If you honestly want me to inform you of when I lose interest, please state so somewhere in the form. If you do, I will tell you. If you don't...then, well...if I'm unhappy I'll simply cease roleplaying with you.

Language:
I have absolutely no problem with language inside or outside of the roleplay, so long as I'm not the one being called a fucking ass bitch face (a little insulting, see?). Otherwise, feel free to curse your head off. I certainly don't mind potty mouthed characters, and I have a tendency to spatter a few curses into my replies...rather often.

Violence:
If you kill my character, we're sort of out of a roleplay. Otherwise I'm perfectly fine with violence, and, hell, if it's logical or unavoidable go right ahead and kill my character off. Blood, guts, and gore don't bother me in the least, so feel free to be as graphic as you like.

Romance:
I don't believe in insta-mance. Lust at first sight? Fine by me, but real relationships take time to develop, and my characters, genres, and plots have a tendency of sticking two people who don't like each other together. I like tension, I like build-up, but I also don't mind a couple nameless shags in the dark if there's a good reason for it to be there. Also, romance certainly don't not need to be a part of the roleplay. I can do gen, and I can also do gen with sex. Not everyone is looking for love.

Sex:
Because sex and romance aren't the same thing, duckies. I really don't have any limits as far as how graphic the sex gets. Feel free to be as descriptive and naughty as you like, so long as the roleplay accounts for it. My only real problem is non-con/rape. I will roleplay it, I have no qualms against that, but I severely dislike rapist x raped pairings. I'd like to have a consensual relationship at the center of our roleplay, thank-you.
