My Expectations ||​

---

• Please... no disappearing without telling me. I get that real life happens - it takes precedent, certainly over the internet, but nothing chafes more than a partner just vanishing on me, without so much as a PM. I also understand sometimes a muse isn't working out - but before you go and give up, let me know what you're feeling. Maybe it's something we can work through, and if not... at least I'm aware and not waiting for you to post when you probably never will.

• No one liners. Effort means giving me something to respond to. I write -alot-! Generally at least three paragraphs a post - while I understand that this won't likely be the norm in a 1x1, I do ask that you at least try to come up with two paragraphs, minimum. Descriptions make a story flow - they make it real and visual, and fun. That said, I also prefer posts that aren't filled with endless reams of purple-prose nonsense. I can't respond to you if I don't have anything to react to.

• No Erotic Content: Just not something I'm interested in. If romance happens, it happens organically and without force, but anything beyond smoochin' will be FADE TO BLACK.

• Proof-reading is a MUST. At the very least, I expect spell checking. I don't expect perfection - I make errors, too. But blatantly ignoring obvious issues is gonna grate. This goes for consistency, as well.

• In a partner, I'm looking for a co-writer... CO as in cooperative. This is not Driving Miss Daisy, and while I look adorable in a chauffeur cap, I am not here to dictate a story while you write. I want us to work together to build a plot... that means communication and planning. I'm creative, but in the end spoon feeding someone a story is just not as much fun. This means creating not just a character, but a universe -- Scenes, NPCs, locations, situations... Posts should be both about reacting and reaction.

• Character Sheets: I do ask that a sheet to be filled out - very basic, with an image and some minor details. I request only live models or realistic artwork (in the case of fantasy RPs). If you cannot find an image, I will gladly assist you. The sheet is for reference and to maintain consistency, and I will be filling one out as well.

MY PART

What You Can Expect ||​

---

• Storylines with a definitive beginning, middle and end. True -stories- ... that take characters on an adventure, where they can develop and grow.

• More than schmoopy romantic crap. Romance is great. I love love... I'm a wife and mother, so I'm all about that gooey, cloying schmaltz that makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. But romance does not an RP make. There will be PLOTS first, and romance will simply be sugar in the coffee. Does this mean that romance won't factor at all? No. I think it adds a lot to a tale and gives characters another element to grow in. But it will not be the end-all/beat-all horizon of the story. I will strive to make every roleplay a well-rounded adventure, regardless of what the pairings may be.

• Strictly speaking... Well-written work. I will not put out a post that I am not proud of. It may take me longer to get one done, but know that when you do get a post from me, it will be my best writing. I typically write in a third-person, past-tense perspective, though I will occasionally work with present-tense should you desire. First-person, however fun it may be to write, does not work so well with cooperative storylines, so I ask that this be avoided.

• A timely delivery. While I cannot promise tens of thousands of posts a day, I will do my utter best, crisis-barring, to write at least ONCE or TWICE a week. More often than not, I write much more than that (often once or twice a day), but I am a mother of a rather festive children, and there are occasions when I cannot get online as much. Also, I do not typically roleplay (except on rare occasions) over the weekend or after six at night, as this is time for me to spend with my husband/family.

• Gosh darn Prettiness: Silly as it may sound, I LOVE working with bbcode almost as much as writing -- I will prettify whatever I can, and I try to make my posts visually interesting, as well as well-written.

STORYLINES & IDEAS ||​

---

These are the storylines I'm looking to introduce. Nothing is set in stone, and I will be adding more as time goes on and storylines are completed, so if nothing jumps out at you, be sure to come back later and check out the list. The character -I'm- looking to play will be the character in bold. All my pairings will be FxM. Multiple characters are possible, pending the plot.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask here, or PM me. The rating system indicates which storylines hold the most interest for me. This does not mean that storylines with a lower rating will receive any less attention or dedication, some just have a special place in my heart. At the time, I am not looking for anything beyond these requests. All FANTASY storylines are designed to build/establish worldbuilding together.

NOTE || Currently only looking for maybe one or two partners - because of this, I may not be able to accept every request but I will keep you in mind for future projects if I get the time :)

Quite a lot of work for your interest checks! But then, I would expect no less from you. :)

If interested, I'd enjoy writing with you again. From the proposed list, I would be interested in The Riders of Verlendia as that genre is probably closest to my wheelhouse.

 

[Elle Joyner]

Hey ! Good to see ya :) I actually had a few folks interested in Riders ... I'm honestly debating turning it into a group RP at this point LOL

 

[kharmin]

Well, I'd like to be kept in that loop if that's ok.
