•Understand that 90% of the time, I operate on a semi-literate to literate roleplay standard. I expect at least one paragraph per post (4 - 6 sentences) If you find you are having a hard time coming up with something, take your time, or simply explain that you are having writers block. Be wary with this, however, as I will not be very amused if every second post is two sentences with a writers block excuse attached. Also, no use of ChatSpeak will be accepted - it makes me want to stab my eyes out and I happen to like my eyes. Thanks.
•No Godmodding will be permitted in any shape or form when I roleplay with anyone. If you do this, I will tell you and wait until the post is modified. My characters are my own and are not to be controlled by others unless I give express permission beforehand - and the same is to be said of yours. I don't mind if you want to knock my character silly, but ask me first. You will note that I always ask, no matter how small a thing it may seem. Please extend me the same courtesy.
•Avoid clairvoyance (Reading a characters thoughts and having your character respond to them, or having your character know things you as a player know but the character should not)
•Mary Sue's and Larry Stu's are a peculiar thing for me. They make me want to laugh in mockery, cry in shame at humanity, and exhibit horrible violence upon them all at once. Its an odd mixture of emotion, let me tell you. So, please avoid playing Mr. / Mrs. Perfect with me. I prefer being of a stable mindset.
•For the love of God, leave the OOC in the OOC. If there's something going on that has you needing to talk to me, (Either you're mad at me, concerned for me, annoyed with life in general) don't take it out on my characters through yours. Address the situation or separate yourself from it. There's no reason to ruin a roleplay just because OOC / IRL sucks. Take a break for awhile then come back to it, if you need to, and remember I'm more than willing to hear you out if you just need to vent a bit - but in a strictly OOC fashion.
•Romance is not my top priority. While I don't mind romance, I don't think it should be the #1 only awesome reason for roleplay, orz. =.= I love character development and believe in natural forming relationships with my characters. In the event I do agree to a romantic relationship, it will be discussed OOCly first and it should be noted that I do mostly Male x Male pairings, as I play those the best, but I am open to Male x Female. Female x Female I simply can't do. I've tried, but I can't.
•Respect me, and I guarantee you will receive the same courtesy. I'm actually a very friendly person and very open minded, so please don't feel put off by my rules. These are just things I put up cause after all my years of roleplaying, I have gone through some pretty horrific stuff and I'd really like to avoid repeating those same experiences of utter fail, y'know? XD I like to have fun and enjoy myself and I like to surround myself with people who have the same values - so lets have fun together and get to know one another and the characters, shall we? ^_^
