Role Play Basics
I did this when I first woke up so bare with me if it is messy.
I tag (god everyone I know has pretty much been tagged already, I might do doubles cause otherwise I got like no one > < . Btw if I tag you don't have to do it, this is just for fun):

Locations
I am comfortable doing:
✘ Comment: I have never really done comments... at least not like in 5+ years. I rather would not but don't be afraid to ask me to rp in the comments of a piece.
★ Chats: Chats are... okay, I just haven't been in those in a while except when it comes to events for a group.
★ Notes: Notes are an okay method. I don't mind them. I just tend to be a little slow.
✘ Forum: None of the groups I am currently in have such a thing. Yet this is how I started so so many years ago xD
♥ Skype: This is my go-to. I am most comfortable in Skype, I usually make another chat for us to rp in though. Also if I am on but not replying like every moment there is a reply it means I am busy or I am not feeling up to it. Please give me a chance to reply to you.
✘ Google Docs: No one has ever approached me over this one... I don't know how it works.
- Other: E-mail? I haven't done that in a while either. So no?
OOC/Headcanoning/RP Planning Methods:
(hc = headcanon, which is essentially saying our characters will do a thing/have done a thing without actually RPing it out in depth necessarily)
♥ Skype: Probably where I have done the most planning about an interaction or rp.
★ Notes: Send me a note too I don't mind! I might be a little slower to respond but yes if we aren't Skype buddies then send away.

Participants
I am comfortable with:
♥One on one role plays: This is the common way to rp usually for me.
♥ Up to three people: I am also okay with this, but usually it is like 3 characters interacting as well (like one person with 2 and one person with 1).
★ Up to four people: Okay this is where it starts to get tricky. People slow down a lot with the more interaction going on. I won't be too much of a hardass about it but cant be hard to do.
- Five or more people!: Oh.... never had this happen except during events but I would maybe like to avoid it for personal rps.
- As big as possible!: Only for event reasons. Big rps can be fun but daunting and slow and usually fizzle out fast.
RP Style
I am all right with:
♥ Lit/Para: I often rp this way the most. I like to keep logs of these as well.
★Script: Light hearted stuff or things that need fast plots. There might be some rare cases for other things but usually for groups I like lit/para.

Post Length
I usually write about:
- One or two sentences: I have a hard time with short length unless it is script.
♥ One or two paragraphs: This is where I usually hang out. This is good for me.
★ Two to five paragraphs: I might do about three or four on occasion, it depends on what is going on. I like to try to keep 'filler' out much as possible. It does nothing but add onto the length.
- More than five paragraphs: Starting to really get into the spirit of 'filler mode' I don't do this very much if at all unless something very significant is going on and calls for it or I am inspired.
-A few pages worth: Geez... no I will probably forget what I am doing half way through and I am not sure if someone will want to read all of that. Maybe for a starter for something important but otherwise no.
I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:
★ One or two sentences: I understand if you don't feel inspired but I might get upset if I write a few paragraphs and get that as a reply. Especially if there isn't much interaction going on or something for me to build off of.
★ One or two sentences: I understand if you don't feel inspired but I might get upset if I write a few paragraphs and get that as a reply. Especially if there isn't much interaction going on or something for me to build off of.
♥ One or two paragraphs: The sweet spot for me. I can easily reply and there is usually interaction going on.
♥ Two to five paragraphs: Also okay. Same reasons as above.
★ More than five paragraphs: Getting a little long there... if i is mostly filler I will have a hard time replying and will not match post length.
★ A few pages worth: I will more than likely not match it but if you feel inspired go for it. Sometimes the writing bug hits!
In the end go for what makes you happy, yet if you are looking for length-for-length please try not to write too much. I like to go for more actions than for exposition unless it is to help describe motivations.

Role-play Requests
I like getting requests from:
★ Anyone and everyone at any time!: Sure but there might be times I am busy or overwhelmed with life, please don't be upset if I say no.
★ When I ask for role-plays. That would be weird if I asked then declined.
♥ From friends and acquaintances: I am biased to my friends and will be faster to say yes.
- From friends only: I am still biased but will not decline unless I am busy. I like to meet new people in rps!
Corrections:
I am comfortable getting corrections when:
♥ I missed something in your/someone else's post: It is embarrassing when I do this but let me know, especially if it is something important. Sometimes I read too fast or skipped a line when reading.
♥ I missed something about your/someone else's character: Same as above. Please tell me!

★It's realistic/factual: I am weird about this one. I love realism when it comes to medical/science but sometimes that is not going to work in fantasy situations. Yet if you have explanations for how it works oh please let me drool over fantasy science.
★Other: I have on occasion left out a word or two, or sometimes a 'n't' off of a word. Hoooo boy that can make for something I didn't mean to make a character do. So if something feels odd let me know and I can fix it.

Expectations:
I expect my RP partner to:
-Have read my character app before we RP: Well at least glanced at it would be nice. Not a must but sometimes it helps.
-NOT read my character app at all before we RP: Not gonna police you on that. If you wanna read it go ahead.
-Read as much of my character app as is reasonable to go on before we RP: I would say this is the best spot. I can understand if you rather not read the history. I tend to skip that myself unless I have rped with the character more than once.
-Read more of my character app as it becomes relevant/necessary: Well that makes sense.
In the end read as much as you like but be warned sometimes my characters are violent or flirts, if you don't want to be faced with this type of thing it might be best to check up on their profiles.

Romantic Relationships
** Important: Communication is the key to a real life relationship, it shouldn't be abandoned for a fictional on either! Be sure to talk to your partners when considering romance!
Shipping
I am comfortable shipping my characters:
✘Never: I am weak to shipping.
-Our character know each other deeply: Usually if our characters know each other I know the rper too buttt this leads into the next one.
-Our character know each other deeply: Usually if our characters know each other I know the rper too buttt this leads into the next one.
♥ Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player: This is where I am the most comfortable, I have decided I like to usually ship with people that are my friends and I know pretty well and trust.
-At the first sign of flirting!: This doesn't work if your or my character is a flirt. It might make me smile but let's wait off on shipping/pairing.
★Only if the role-player and I plan it: I haven't had this happen yet, usually it happens through interaction. Yet I wouldn't say no to having characters that are already in a relationship.
★ It depends on the character: Pretty much it. Some of my characters aren't into relationships either and it depends on how our characters get along, as well as how we get along
If you want to ship with my characters:
- Talk to me about it from the start: I haven't really had anyone approach me right away and say 'SHIPPPP' but I might say no if it is the first time these two have interacted. I have had a few times of heavy flirty and hinting in character and sometimes it has left me uncomfortable.
★ Talk to me about it once our characters know each other: Depends on what you mean by 'know' it might take a few times of interaction and rp for them to even really know each other. Even then it might be a bit early. It depends on how well the interact and if there is anything blooming between them.
♥ Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other: Feelings are a good starting people and kind of go hand-in-hand with above. They can stay friends or start to have a relationship but it depends how we both feel about it.
♥ Talk to me about it when they finally decide that want to go beyond hugging: Above hugging sounds like something you hear in health class yet I understand. If they start kissing or something then yeah there is something going on. However this is the point where we might be asking ourselves if they should become a thing.
Speed
When shipping my characters, I like the romance to happen:
✘ Swift as lightning!: Uhh... fast as a coursing river? I gotta say that maybe not... I like it to feel kind of natural too. Let them get comfortable with their relationship.
- Fast, but not super fast: What does this mean? I guess it depends on what is going on? If they are gonna have like a baby the first time they do-the-do then no that is fast... too fast for me. If they have kissed one and now are getting married, also too fast. I suppose it has to feel natural to what is going on with them. I am not really someone that is a stickler about 'time' but more about feel of what is going on, like it should be in a real relationship.
-Happens in about three months: Same as above.
-Slow and steady wins the race: Same as above.
- Slugs know what's up!: Same as above.
♥ My relationships know no speed. They happen if they happen: Pretty much this let it take it's course and see how it goes. If they happen to do well by being quick then its fine. If they need all the time in the world that is also fine. Also it depends on how we both feel about it. If we aren't sure then maybe it is best to go slow too.
Smut
When my characters get intimate, I prefer:
- To skip the act entirely: Uhhh well I am not really picky but if my partner isn't comfortable with those types of things then sure.
- To write the build up, but skip the act: Once again I am not a picky person. I like the emotional and deep or passionate stuff too. If my partner isn't into the act then we can skip it.
-To write the act only if it is very special, but otherwise skip it: Emotion and passion and stuff is great to me. If it feels special and both sides are okay with it then it works out fine.
-To write the act all the way through: Once again I am fine with it, if we are both comfortable then its okay.
EDIT: I forgot to add this but saw it on a few others. I will only rp intimate scenes if I know the character's owner is over 18 otherwise I will right out refuse. I don't care if the laws are different in your country for consent, in the US is is 18.

Romantic Artwork
When it comes to artwork depicting our relationship please:
- Do not post it at all without talking to me: Uhh well only if you know that I am okay with the pairing/ship in question.
-Post it if it is cuddles and hugs. Awww I would love to see snuggly stuff this is fine with me, no worries.
-Post it if it is kisses. If you want me have me squee
-Post it if it is much more. Well then someone was feeling creative and I am not complaining
-Do not post it at all if it depicts sexual acts!: I would have to say for dA that will probably get you in trouble and for most rp groups too. You can show it to me though and maybe on somewhere like tumblr.
-Do not post it where I can see it, but draw what you like! I can't police what you are and aren't going to draw. Most of the time I am okay with cute pictures and such. If you make something sexual warn me first before showing me and please make sure it abides by dA rules if you are tempted to post it to the group. Yet I really wouldn't be like 'ugh don't do that' more often than not I want to see your art!
Dramatics
** Important: Always be sure to communicate with your partner individually if you think you are about to go outside their comfort zones even just the slightest bit!!
Violence
When it comes to violent situations, I am comfortable with:
- No violence at all!: Eh I don't mind a bit of violence.
♥ I'm fine with verbal arguments!: Sometimes this is better than a fist fight.
★ Some violence, like a paper cut, or an accidental elbow to the face: That is like comedy there, I don't mind it so long it isn't like 'oops I pushed you off a cliff'.
★ Mild violence, such as punching, kicking, hair pulling: This sounds like a school ground fight... Sure?
♥ Violence, such as stabbings: Alright right out stabbing might make me a little grumpy if there is no warning. I like to know if my character will be gravely hurt. So I'm okay with violence and fights but I like to plan out a bit before going right into something that will possibly affect my character greatly. I will also usually ask if it is okay for my character to do something really nasty as well.
-Beyond violence, such as torture and more: Same as above, warn me. Usually if we are going to rp something so violent it needs plans and consent. Don't go chopping my character's arm off out of no where, I will get pretty pissed because that is more like god-modding.
If you are going to do something violent, please:
-Don't do it at all: Nope sokay with me
★ Talk to me about it first: Yes please, I like to plan and talk about these things.
- Surprise me!: No, I might stop rping with you if you have a habit of surprising me with random stabbings and beatings.
Dramatic Artwork
- Do not post any dramatic scenes that that happened between our characters: Why would I do that?
- Talk to me about it before posting!: Yes please that would cool, I want to drool over it first //shot
★ Post what you like!: Like with other art I will not police you over it. Just make sure it abides by rules of the website and group.
I did this when I first woke up so bare with me if it is messy.

Alright I have decided to make a journal out of this situation I am currently in. Right now I am nearing the end of my quarter at college and things are getting pretty hectic. I currently have 2 papers, 1 film report, and 2 finals; all due near the end of the term. One paper is due on the 30th and that is the one that I'm focusing much of my time on lately. I need to get it done probably by the end of next weekend. I know some of you are thinking that I have all week to work on it too, but there lies the problem I have. Along with the things I listed above, I also have to keep up on reading and on weekdays that is my main focus. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the worst for me to get anything done either, I don't get home until 4:30 pm on those days and that is after an hour and a half drive. I am exhausted by that time and usually can only get reading and the questions for that done before throwing in the towel.
So the point is I am taking a small sorta break from DA. I will probably be around to talk and maybe put up something every once in a while but I will be slow. Most rps will be slow, new rps may be put off. As for artwork, it might be next to nothing. I know I have my kiriban winner's piece to work on but right now I can't touch it until this one paper is done. Even then it will take me a while to finish.
I am sorry for this outcome but school comes first and once I'm off for summer break, I will probably pick up on things.
