A Detailed Partner Search

First Partner Request... let's see how this goes... o_o I usually just pm people.

Since these searches seem to have very mixed results, I made a checklist-thing detailing my style and preferences very clearly for you to inspect! Read the list. Read my RP resume. Ask questions!

Someone told me that the list was a little scary - but I hope it doesn't come across too much as this. D: I am just giving you all I can so you can judge me fully to see if I match whatever you're looking for in a partner. I also don't expect to get 100% matches - that would be unrealistic. Tell me the differences and we will talk!

Anyway, let's just see where this goes? ^_^;


----------------
POST LENGTH
Dialogue Posts: (1) - (3) short paragraphs
"Solo" Posts*: (3) - (8) paragraphs - depends on partner and moment

*I consider a "solo post" to be when your character(s) go off and experience a scene on their own, without any other player's characters interfering. The entire scene is under your control.


WRITING STYLE
(x) I spend most of the post on my character's emotions.
() I spend most of the post on my character's observations.

(depends on post)

DETAIL

CHARACTER QUANTITY (checked all that applied)
Main character = you play their thoughts and actions
Side character = recurring, possibly important, but you write only their actions.
NPC = usually insignificant, you play only their actions, and both/all rpers can control them.

OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS

Make a list of all your RP pet peeves:
-Careless posts/oversimplified posts (there is a fine line between minimalism and carelessness... but I do like minimalism so things get finicky here....)
-100% Passive characters
-Passive Posts
-Long disappearences without notice.
-Reluctance to edit
-Careless reading (people that encourage showing over telling - a perfectly valid writing tip that I love, fail to mention that sometimes in the context of RP, where each piece of writing is relatively short - that discreet showing is easily missed by a careless reader. >_< )
- Guessing / assuming instead of asking when something unclear arises (doesn't matter whose fault it might have been - if IC communication is awkward, the story usually falls apart.)
- Two characters having multiple conversations at the same time. I tolerate this but... ehhh can we not.
- Godmodding, hijacking, etc

Make a list of all your RP-buddy candies (not plot candies! RP buddy candies!)
-Active OOC banter; possibly skype messages
-Friendly Debates are always welcome!
-PLOTTING! ALL THE PLOTTING! (adorned with a little bit of excited squealing >.>)
-A delicate touch of creative sadism.
-A willingness to teach and/or learn (I would absolutely love a mentor ^_^)

Describe your ideal RP partner in less than 3 sentences.
-Someone that needs to write in order to feel fully alive ; someone that feels their characters just as much as they analyse them ; someone that writes as a reader - and all this while fluttering playfully in the OOC. ;P

So yes... there it is. As much about my personal RP style as I could think of. If there is anything else you would like to know, ask. We can have a conversation without starting an rp. ^_^


Also, if you'd like the empty form for personal use, it's here: https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/threads/roleplay-resume-expansion.89496/ Will be edited as I get feedback.
