Thread: Fandoms and originals (MxM, MxF, and multi-character scenes)

RE The Men of Westeros MxM, MxF, and multi-character scenes THE BASICS Firstly, a bit about me. I'm in my early twenties and I'm British which my timezone and use of words like colour and pavement will probably give away anyway. That's really all I'm comfortable divulging in public here. Derek is not my real name, and though a lot of my interests will come out in casual conversation, I probably won't want to talk about my real life here with every other person. That includes relationship status, education, career, location, politics, background, gaming IDs, other accounts I'm on, or personal dramas. There are exceptions, of course. I've made friends through this sort of RP before, and I really do like being able to have a friendly banter with my writing partners. So, don't be afraid to ask. Just my answer'll probably be no, and I'd appreciate my boundaries being respected. Sorry to start it off on a bit of a 'don't do this' note, but one of the worst first impressions someone ever made on me was to badger me for my real name. I'm bisexual, and open to playing opposite characters that are male, female, or not on the gender binary. Likewise, I don't mind whether you write as a character with a different gender than your own. I'm very much in the variety is the spice of life camp! My F-list is here . A quick word about my limits I'm generally pretty flexible on circumstancesituation-based kinks, even if I list them as limits - I'm willing to at least discuss most of the things I list as limits, provided there is tasteful treatment, room for modification, and the like. Generally I'm rather overly cautious with what I list as a maybe or a dislike, so please, do ask! There's very little things I'll completely refuse a conversation on. My big thing is fandom RPs, but I'm open to some originals. I suck at formatting nicely. You can probably tell. I am not interested in threads. Sorry. Generally, I prefer PMs, Google Docs, that sort of thing. I never use IMs for RPing, although I do use it for chatting. I'm looking for opportunities to develop my writing, character development, and worldbuilding skills, as well as get off. I do not, however, want to set an arbitrary smut lot ratio. We can have a plot-heavy RP that is amazing, or a smut-heavy RP that is amazing, or anything in between. One thing I do love, however, is when the smut and plot merge together. Having complex character dynamics and plot developments play out over the course of a smut scene is amazing. I'm a slow poster. There's no way to sugarcoat it, so I'll just lay it on the table. I often have a busy schedule that does not leave much time for posting, and sometimes when I do have time, I just really am not in the mood for posting. I'm one of those picky creatures who needs to be in a good frame of mind to write smut. I can't force it when I'm feeling down or ill or exhausted or simply just need a break. Sometimes you'll see me online and not posting - I'm probably checking Blue Moon on my phone, so please don't nudge me whenever you see me online. It's happened before, it's a massive turnoff. Sometimes I can force myself through those periods of writer's block if faced with a deadline, but I don't like doing that with RPs makes it more of a chore. I am, however, almost always around for OOC chitchat, or RP planning. Speaking of, I love planning. Like, really love it. Is there a word for a fetish for planning? Because I probably have it. I like going through tonnes of different pairing ideas, tonnes of different scenarios, imagining in lurid detail how they'd play out, even if we only ever get around to a few of them. This ties into my fondness for communication. It doesn't have to be super-chummy OOC chatter although I do love that. Just communicating any potentially controversial plans, relaying any requests, discussing any planned absences or issues with the RP. I'm a detailed writer, I like to think. I like exploring character motivations, thoughts, little tics, the environment around them, that kind of thing. I don't believe in matching lengths, I tend to believe in matching efforts I have the same attitude with grammar and spelling - I don't care about the occasional typo or demand rigid proofreading, but I do like to see effort. My general length tends to fall somewhere between 200 and 800 words a pop, though I have gone up to just under 2000, although that's mainly for early setup posts. One-liners and consistently short posts, though, tend to not hold my attention for long. I've tried rapid-fire back-and-forth posting with such short lengths. With my schedule, it just doesn't work.
