About.

I've been roleplaying off and on for roughly two decades. I have past experience with journal-style rp on InsaneJournal, but it was a decade ago. I'm new to Dreamwidth, so please bear with me while I refresh myself on how journal-rp works and how DWRP, specifically, works.

Noteworthy Things.

Age. As a person in my thirties, I will not write with players who are younger than 21+. My preference will always be to interact with people closer to my own age.

My characters are all 25+, and it's my preference that characters interacting with mine be 21+. I will not interact with characters or players aged 20 or younger.

Barrier Bleed. While I do enjoy having a platonic, ooc connection with the people I write with, it isn't necessary. However, I am not open to ooc romance even if our characters become involved in that way. Further, if our characters are enemies, it doesn't mean we have to be. Not every character will get along, and it isn't a reflection of whom we are or how we feel ooc if our characters harbor ill will toward each other.

Communication. I work best when people are direct with me about what they want. I am not a mind reader, and I don't easily pick up on hints. I can handle directness so long as it's approached with kindness rather than derision, and I give that in return.

If I have missed something, please, just be forthright with me, and we'll do a great job of writing together.

Writing Style. I prefer to write in third person, but I'm open to either past or present tense depending on partner preferences. I've seen some writing with brackets in DW, but my preference is to write in prose-style. However, I'm open to doing things that help with accessibility like enlarging dialogue or other things to aid my partners.

Beyond that, I tend to prefer a fluid style of writing for rp. Snappy dialogue shouldn't be weighed down by paragraphs of text around it. However, I do love to set a scene and to keep track of how characters are moving through space. I can get pretty wordy at times, so I'll do my best to keep myself reined in when it's getting to be a bit much. I also try to play off of my partners' styles, too.

I love to plot base points for arcs with a bit of pantsing for what's actually going down. I don't really enjoy big surprises. If you're the kind of writer who prefers to run the show and lead their partners down a path but don't really want any input that could derail that path, then our writing may not be the most compatible. I love having a basis, but if something comes up in rp that changes what was planned, I think it's really fun to just run with it and try out the new ideas that our characters ended up pushing toward in the moment. Let's work together to build connections and adventures!
