Out of Character
Thanks so much for checking out my website! I've been roleplaying for over 15 years, and I find the ever-evolving landscape of online RP so interesting. From my humble beginnings as part of a "wolf pack" on some random IRC channel in a dusty old corner of the web to having an entire website devoted to my love of RP, I've come quite a long way. This particular page is devoted to sharing some of my knowledge, outlining certain preferences, and answering some common questions.
If there's anything amiss on the site or you have any questions not covered in my FAQ, just shoot me an email and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible. Thanks again for visiting!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do "made to order" OCs?
-
Generally, no. If your idea inspires me to the point that I'm willing to create an OC for it, that's the exception rather than the rule.
I know you play X, but will you play Y instead?
-
That depends on the reason for my original preference, but it's always worth asking.
Do you play multiple characters?
-
Yes, if necessary. I don't enjoy "doubling," or playing two different characters of equal importance/weight, but I do enjoy fleshing out RP with a whole cast of background characters whenever possible. If my partner is amenable, I prefer to share control over the "supporting cast" to improve flow and encourage creativity.
Will you RP with someone under the age of 18?
-
Absolutely, but with one important restriction: any and all content that could be considered 18+ in nature must instead follow the "fade to black" rule. No explicit sex or violence.
On Limits
My limits are typically broad and amorphous, but there are certain universal constants that I think merit mentioning here (this section is obviously NSFW):
-
"Bathroom" kinks
-
"Daddy" kink
-
Blurred line between characters/writers
-
OOC rudeness
-
Vore
-
Gore
-
Transformation
-
Snuff
-
Exoticism (of gender identities, races/ethnicities, disabilities, etc)
-
Ageplay/Infantilism
-
OOC misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or similar douchebaggery
RP 101
Consider this advice from a long-time roleplayer that may be expanded upon later. And take it with a grain of salt: there's no one right way to RP!
-
Try not to kinkshame. Everybody's got something weird they're into, and that's okay. RP is a relatively safe space to explore the full spectrum of human interaction, and to deny the dark or problematic parts of humanity doesn't make them go away.
-
That doesn't mean you shouldn't feel safe or comfortable in your RP. Through the process of writing with others, you will encounter your limits. Find them, recognize them, and be open about them. Just as there's nothing wrong with wanting to write something, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to write something.
-
Be open and honest with your RP partner(s). Just like any relationship, communication is key: if you're grossed out by the word 'moist' and your partner is using it every other post, politely let them know and move forward from there. Likewise, try and be accommodating with your RP partner(s) and make the experience as pleasant for them as you'd like it to be for you.
-
If you need time off, say so. Don't ghost your RP partners, and don't be afraid to say "I need to step away from this for a while." Interest and inspiration naturally fluctuate, and that's okay: just be clear about your situation so your partner knows what to expect.
-
Regarding expectations: lay them out at the start, or as soon as possible. Do you expect at least 4-7 lines of text each time your partner posts? Do you want to see at least one response per day/week/etc? How about limits or other restrictions? Get those expectations out in the open as soon as you can, and ask your partner(s) to do the same.
-
Don't be too picky about spelling and grammar. If it's illegible, that's one thing, but if you can easily understand your partner(s)' posts don't feel the need to nitpick or correct them. Not only does it ignore the root purpose of language (that is, to allow for the open communication of ideas), but those mistakes may well have been intentional depending on the character or their quirks.
-
Try not to pad your posts with excessive, meaningless detail. Sure, you could wax poetic about the precise shade of your character's eyes or create an exhaustive list of everything they're wearing, but before you do you should ask yourself "is this important?" Sometimes less is more.
-
Learn! We're all learning every time we RP. You may not be that great at the beginning--you may not even be 'great' fifteen years down the road. But every time you RP, you learn something, and that makes you a better roleplayer than you were before. So get out there and RP, learn, and enjoy becoming a better writer and a better communicator.
