Length & Style ╹⁺ while length doesn't always equate to good quality writing, i do expect at least a minimum of six lines (600 words). i can go higher and have reached 2k words for role-play replies in the past, though because of my work schedule, motivation, and muse shimmering due to adult responsibilities in recent years, i rarely have the time to type that length nowadays — but i still tend to be on the lengthier side in the long run. ultimately, however, i will match your length. i strictly write in third person only, though i am flexible when it comes to styling — if you prefer lowercase, like uppercase more, etcetera, i’m flexible! aesthetics also aren’t necessary but highly encouraged, as i myself try to structure and style my replies (or any other writing entries, for that matter) to be engaging to the eye. still, i don’t want to go overboard and will avoid unreadable fonts or aesthetics in responses if requested. grammar and punctuation are important, but i will admit i slip up a lot!! all i ask is that you try to make it readable — if there are a few errors in punctuation or a misspelled word here or there, no worries. if i can’t read your responses, though, we may not be compatible. that includes spacing, avoiding run-on sentences, etc. if english isn’t your first language, just let me know, i'm more accomodating to that!! i’ll be upfront now and say that i’m extremely selective with who i write with. this isn’t meant to be biased against other people’s writing styles or you as a person — it’s simply because my schedule is so hectic throughout the year and i have limited time to write nowadays. simply put: if i don’t feel like our styles click, i will politely decline your request. at the end of the day, i’d rather we both have an enjoyable writing experience — not one that’s half-assed on my behalf, you know?Age ╹⁺ as a legal adult (twenty-three), i will firmly state this now — i do not write with anyone under eighteen years old. this isn't me trying to be ageist or against younger writers, but as an adult, i don’t feel comfortable writing with younger individuals, especially since my interests might involve more serious, mature, or heavy themes. believe me, i was on the other end years ago as a kid writing with people much older than me, and i got exposed to many serious topics and themes — i don’t want to be the person to do that to someone else. we all can joke about not being supervised on the internet and being 'mature' because we’ve been desensitized to certain things, but it does have an impact on you over time. if i find out you are lying to me about your age to write with me at any point, you will be blocked and reported — no ifs, ands, or buts about it!!Schedule & Time ╹⁺ with the utmost respect. . . i do have a personal life away from writing on here. as a college graduate pursuing my master’s, i’m busy with job applications, work, academics once the semester starts up again, and other offline responsibilities — as i’m sure you are too. i’ll always try to get back to you in a timely fashion, but there will definitely be days or even weeks where i just don’t have the time or energy to respond as quickly as i used to when i was a teen. simply put, there will be times i can’t respond within a few hours. reminders are totally fine with me, but please do not double- or triple-text me in the same day. it’s one thing if you’re sending headcanons, ideas, little things that remind you of our thread, or updates on your own schedule — those are always welcome! but messages like “hello??” or “hope to hear soon!!” will honestly discourage me from replying. if you aren’t someone who’s patient, then we’re likely not compatible. as for reminders, i don’t mind one after a week and another a couple weeks after that — basically, every other week is fine. personally, i don’t send reminders until it’s been several weeks or even a month, since i know people get busy and i’d rather be patient and receive a strong reply down the line than a rushed one that doesn’t feel right. if our rp fizzles out for any reason and you want to pick it back up, don’t hesitate to reach out! i will say i tend to delete threads that have been inactive for several months or more on both ends just for organizational reasons — but if that happens, feel free to message me and we can restart or start fresh. all i ask for is patience and understanding. i’ll do my best to communicate when i’m busy and what my response times may look like, but i admittedly slip sometimes. i’m no longer that teen girl who could pump out three replies for two different threads every day — if that’s what you’re expecting from me, we may not be a good fit.Triggers & Taboos ╹⁺ after a decade of writing semi-seriously on various role-play sites, i can confidently say there are certain themes i don’t find appropriate to write — mainly due to site restrictions, the presence of a large adolescent audience, and the sensitivity of certain topics in real life. ultimately, what gets written in our roleplay should reflect your comfort level. as someone who was exposed to a lot of taboo subjects as a teen without proper guidance and now being of legal age with my own boundaries, i have firm preferences on what i will and won’t include. i’m personally comfortable writing profanity, nsfw, and gore, but i always follow site guidelines and respect my partner’s limits — so if you’re okay with all three, great! if you’re not, just let me know and i’ll steer clear. i’ll also be upfront in saying i will not write graphic depictions of rape, sexual assault, any form of abuse, suicide, or self-harm. while brief or non-descriptive mentions may be acceptable if it’s canon or relevant to a character’s backstory, i will not go into detail. too often, i’ve seen these topics romanticized or used as plot devices for drama rather than for genuine character development — and i’d like to avoid that entirely unless treated with care. similarly, i don’t write vivid scenes involving drug abuse or addiction, though background mentions or canon material are fine. beyond these boundaries, i’m generally open to exploring other mature or sensitive themes if they’re handled thoughtfully. and of course, i’ll always honor whatever triggers or limits you share with me — just as i hope mine will be respected too.Themes & Prefrences ╹⁺
this isn’t quite a rule, but it’s still something i want to mention when it comes to writing with me. i strive to be an inclusive writer, which means characters and narratives for the lgbtqia+ community are absolutely welcome and highly encouraged! many of my own characters have the potential for same-sex relationships, diverse gender identities, and more. if you’re someone who is homophobic, transphobic, or only writes heterosexual relationships, we will not be compatible as writing partners. going off of that, intolerance or discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated — both in the role-play itself and outside of it. be respectful toward others, not just me. i don’t take lightly to belittling, mocking, intimidating, or holding prejudice against others. this includes — but is not limited to — someone’s sex, race, disability, or identity. i’m not here to entertain hateful or biased commentary in or out of my role-plays, and i absolutely want to avoid drama. if you’re someone who seeks that out for fun or to “prove a point,” please reevaluate yourself. it’s one thing if themes like discrimination or prejudice exist in canon plots or with canon characters in a fandom, but creating an oc just to express your personal biases? absolutely not.RP Styles & Prefrences ╹⁺
not inherently a rule again, but more so my preferences and what i’m open to — part two! i’m open to focusing on different relationship types such as platonic or familial relationships instead of romance if you prefer, or even incorporating those on the side to indulge in multiple character interactions for both sides! honestly, building up relationships with side characters is just as fun, if you ask me. love triangles or polyamorous relationships are also alright if you fancy that — just communicate your preferences! i’m not picky about your character’s concepts or how you write them. all i ask is that you take into consideration the fandom we’re role-playing in, the themes or concepts of that universe, the lore, etc. unless we do an au, it might not be fitting for an oc with magical abilities in a film series like scream, you know? also, i ask that you try to have a balance in your character — let them have flaws and strengths, best friends and enemies, etc. someone who is too perfect or heavily flawed isn’t as fun as someone with a blend of both. ultimately, this is flexible, and we can communicate about it to allow certain things or discuss what can or cannot be done with character writing. more writing-specific — i strongly prefer to double up and do oc x cc, but i might be persuaded to do oc x oc in certain cases and even cc x cc on the side for certain fandoms if we share ships in that fandom! it’s one thing if you prefer to write a canon character only for my oc — please, please just let me know. i always feel bad when it’s like that and not doubling up, but i understand some people prefer that, and in those cases i don’t mind doing something else like cc x cc for your side or something else to make up for it if desired! if you ask me to just do oc x cc for your side or flat-out just ask to do cc x cc, i will know you haven’t read through this carrd and 95% of the time i will decline your request. yes, i typed a lot, but if you want to write with me, it’s only fair to read everything, you know? if you miss something, that’s a different story, but you can usually tell when people just focus on their preferences and don’t take into account the preferences, hard no’s, and such for others.
