Thread: Make the Devil Your Friend ~ Now with plots!

Chapter III Your Request Since this seems to get lost on a lot of people, I do ask that you include this information in your PM. Also, to make sure you read this. Find my request word in this section and include it in your message to make me happy. How you want to RP If you want to carry it out over threads , please have an idea of where to post. BMR does a great job at describing this in their sub-forums, but if you want something to be in Semi-Private , let me know. If PMs are your thing, I ask that you keep the original and subsequent replies in your responses once the plot starts so we both can look back on things that have already been covered or done. At some point, Im sure there is a character limit so at 25 replies, please start a new PM line. I do not do things over e-mail or IMs. However, after a time, I might be alright with giving you my Skype or AIM to talk about various ideas . Length When it comes to how long a story should last, Ive always found it a good way to relate it is to correlate it with books . I always view my plotsstories as just that. Youve got some that would just make a good chapter , and others that can turn into epic novels. Regardless, all stories have a beginning, middle, and end. Longer ones have places for stopping points so you can put the book down and have a life but that make you want to continue. I like the option to break longer RPs up so we can both have a little time off if we want or need to. Short Term These are plots with a very specific goal or purpose. I think of short term as a week to maybe even month long endeavor depending on how fast we are both posting. However, once that purpose is reached, the thread is over . It may, however, be able to lead into something longer if he both wish to continue. IC wise, a short term plot would be a day to a couple of weeks. I tend to like Short Term with people at first to see if we are compatible. So please dont be offended if I dont want to get into a long commitment. If you want smut, this would be a good place to start. Mid-Length These are plots that have multiple goals , are usually focused around character and situation development . Out of character time expectancy to finish should be about a month to three months or so. Again, there is always the option to continue if we are both happy about how things are progressing. IC wise, this is something that again focuses around development which would take place over a couple of weeks to a month or so. It should be fairly story driven. Long Term I tend to love these the most after testing the waters with someone. ICly speaking, three months to even a year. OOC wise, time expectancy would probably be about the same. Three months to a year or longer. This option is heavily story driven, focusing on development of characters, ideas, situations, relationships, conflicts, indecision, growth, et cetera. The thing with equating plots to books really comes into play here. I love these but I do want to be able to take a break, so please allow for some resolution after a period of time. This doesnt mean Ill take it if youre up for keeping up a good pace, but at the end of each day you do sleep . So even if it is just as something as simple as that keep it in mind. Continual These will probably be few and far between on here unless I am just blown away with a story or someone and isnt something you can request off the bat. This is very similar to the above. A long term RP that is just too amazing to stop. They are generally also broken down into chapters , usually with cliffhanger endings so we can pick up again if we want. The other side of the coin is a person , who I feel like I mesh well with and I want to keep you around for my RP Harem. It doesnt matter the idea or story, but just someone I can do a lot with because it makes me happy. If I ask you to be a continual partner, or have a plot carry out continually, you should feel epic and awesome . Request Word I really didnt have one, but I just wanted to make you read this. If youre sort of pissed off at this, I can just tell you that the concept of this, and the word itself, is bletcherous . Kudos if you know what that means. If you want to take it even farther and make me uber happy, say something about how awesome and wonderful UGA or bulldogs are. Though I warn you, any criticism of either will bring you under heavy scrutiny and youll be digging yourself a pretty deep grave that you might not be able to escape from. In that case, you might want to just stick with mentioning bletcherous. What you want to RP Please give me as much detail as possible here, but here are some basic guidelines to give you an idea. Ill help by giving movie ratings to them. General RP This is where most short to midterm plots fall into and is pretty much a catch all for everything that isnt sexual in nature. Anything from G to R ratings. Non-Sexual In a way, this overlaps with the above but think in PG-13 to R ratings. Relationships can be established and exist, with some mildly suggestive overtones but no sex will happen. This is a good thing for those who want to keep things on an adultish level and allow for things like strong language, precarious situations, and mild violence. Risque Not only dealing with the possibility and likelihood of sexual themes but other indecencies as well, like drug use or stronger violent situations. R to soft X ratings. Taboo This is pretty self explanatory since it is pretty much in line with BMRs forum description and definition of the word itself. Taboo is proscribed by society as highly improper and indecent, generally unacceptable. Things like heavy BDSM, very graphic scenes, incest, true beastiality or zoophilia, extreme age gaps, tentacles, hard non-con and degradation, should fall into this category. It deals with the darker side of smut and fetishes, and would always garner a Triple X rating. Fandom Any RP, regardless of content, that is based off of any existing piece of work be it anime, manga, books, tv series, movies, comics, or any other medium. If this is the case, please also include if you want OCs, canons, or a combination of. Also, an idea of one of the other types of plots so I can have an idea as to what to expect. I do not RP as live celebrities or people, even if I use a photograph or something of their likeness. Dual Roles or Group If there is a possibility of this being a group endeavor, let me know. I don't mind playing more than one character, or even a handful so long as they aren't all together for a very long time. If there is a case where this would happen, I prefer we find another person to fill a couple of the roles. Themes and Ideas In your PM, please have and be able to convey what you are wanting to do. The characters you have in mind, a setting, a concept, a pairing. Something. don't just message me with 'Hi! I want to RP with you... but I have no idea what I want to do.' Or 'Hi! I see that you do this type of fandom, and I'm up for it!' but then when details start to get hammered out, you tell me that you don't know much about it and would prefer something else. ADDENDUM From here on out, if your PM does not contain How you want to carry it out over thread which I personally prefer or PM, If you want to carry it out over thread, be specific on where you intend it to go. Especially if it seems I'll be starting it. How long you want it to run, even if it is something that is probably going to be of open ended length. Some sort of short idea of a setting, pairing, and with some expectations as to what you want to happen. My little request thing I'm going to completely ignore it.
