LITERACY |
I will not, under any circumstances, roleplay with you if you are under the age of 18. I greatly prefer you be over the age of 21, however. Given the mature and/or adult nature of most of my roleplays, I'd prefer to avoid any legalities that can occur via roleplaying with a minor. I'm sorry, but I'm not about to get labeled as a sex offender because you're underage and wanted to write smut. That's just not going to fly with me. And before you think, "Geez, how old is this girl?' your answer is twenty-four.
INTRODUCTIONSLike my posts, my introductions can also vary in length. I average five to seven paragraphs per character. However, the more in depth the plot and the more background story and set-up is needed, my introductions can run up to 20 pages. It all depends on what is needed for the story and how invested in it I am. I've written some that were 5-7 paragraphs, but the most I've written was 26 pages in Word.

What really is "literacy," anymore? The definition, although technically static, seems to have changed over the years. What I'm looking for is someone that, once upon a time, would have been considered an "advanced literate" roleplayer. What that means, and what I'm looking for, is someone that can use proper grammar, has a vocabulary better than that of a fifth grader, and is filled with an active imagination. I like a plot and I appreciate an inherent sense of creativity.
POST LENGTHGenerally, my posts are 3 to 5 paragraphs in length per character. If there's a lot of action going on or my characters have a lot going on in their minds, it can get (much) longer. If it's just dialogue because our characters are having a conversation, it can get shorter. I also have a bit of OCD when it comes to my replies. I will return the same amount of reply that you send me or more. I tend to mirror my partners.

DOUBLINGI used to have a doubling requirement, if only because I was sick of being asked to play males and only males. I still prefer to double, but this is no longer a hard and fast rule. I've learned to take advantage of my secondaries, and I will admit that I find a plot more interesting when there are more characters involved. During the course of our roleplay, I am certain you will meet a plethora of my secondary characters, and I hope to meet yours, too.

SEXUAL ORIENTATIONI'm starting to become more lenient on this, as I have a handful of LBGTQ+ characters that I really enjoy playing. I still prefer MxF pairings over anything else, but I am (albeit slowly) getting better at playing M// pairings. It just takes me a little more time to get it right. That being said, I will more than likely ask to do a MxF pairing unless we are doubling, then I don't mind a M// pairing as well. As far as F//, I just... Haven't gotten there, yet, and I don't want to force myself to, either.

REPLY TIME |
Although these generally go without saying, I still feel the need to put them on my page... So I guess they're not so much "without saying," as I would like them to be. Regardless, no standard Mary/Gary-sue characters. To put it bluntly, they're boring. I want someone that puts effort into making their characters believable and engaging. In the same way, no God-moding or power-playing unless otherwise stated. I alone control my characters, as you do yours.
OOCI am a massive chatter box. I like to get to know my writing partners, and I really like to chat and plot what's going to happen. Sometimes I also like to poke fun with "what if" games back and forth if the plot is in depth, the responses are long, and the interaction is slim. If you find something that reminds you of our roleplay, your characters, or my characters, feel free to send it on over! I love things like that, and I will most likely do the same to you.

If you are expecting someone that will reply multiple times a day, then I am most likely not the person you need to be writing with. On average, you will get 1-3 posts from me per week. Did you get that? Per week. I have a full time job, a social life, and I am an admin of a busy website. It takes me a while to get a reply out, depending on the length of post. However, there are some exceptions. On a day off, you can (sometimes) get a dozen replies out of me.
THE ENDWhen it comes that time, and it will eventually be that time, our roleplay will come to an end. At that point in time, there will be several options, all of which end in civility. If you wish to end before the conclusion of our plot, simply let me know. If you wish to start another plot, or are bored with our current, tell me. This also includes prolonged absences with an intent to return. Please just inform me that you will be gone!
