RP Stuff

[in_the_blue]

This one's from misslucyjane: RP meme.

1) Where and when did you start RPing?
Some Harry Potter board ages and ages ago.

2) Do you RP anywhere other than LJ?
Nah. LJ keeps me plenty busy.

3) Do you play in any public games?
Why yes. outpost_12 and milliways_bar.

4) Do you prefer first-person comment spam or prose logging?
Prose logging. Narrative is my friend.

5) What was the first character you ever played?
Sirius Black.

6) Who's your favorite character to play now and why?
Spike Spiegel. Apparently I'm most like him and he's most like me, except I don't smoke as much or sleep as much or kick ass as much or kill people as much. Or live in space and believe it's all just a dream. But he's fun, because... he's a great character and I've been playing him for so long that he's second nature, and alienchrist says I really am like Spike, so... yeah. Just like that. Shoot me now.

7) What's the longest you've ever consistently played one character?
Played Spike since September of 2004.

8) What's your biggest RP pet peeve?
Dropped threads (without agreeing on it first). My characters don't like being forgotten!

9) Do you read RP secrets and the RP anon meme?
Fuck no. Waste of time.

10) If you've played in public before, do you prefer community based or journal based games?
Played in public. It sounds obscene. I prefer community-based games, actually, but either is okay. Depends what the point of the game is.

11) Would you rather play with someone who's very very IC but a mediocre writer or someone who isn't always IC (but not terrible) and a great writer?
Er. I'm kind of a stickler for my characters staying in-character, so I tend to pretty much demand that from threading partners. Playing with great writers is always fun too, so I suppose (again) it depends on the game and what the point is.

12) Do you have a "RP partner"?
(looks shiftily at lostinapapercup)

13) Do you ever stalk any casts, games, or players? Who?
I stalk everyone at outpost_12.

14) In your opinion, which part of an app is the most difficult/annoying?
Hmmm. I suppose if the app has a section that's personal to me instead of about the character, like "why do you want to play?"

15) Are you one of those people who has to customize their character's journal layout and userinfo?
User info: yes. Layout? Probably not, since I use the default view for comment pages so it doesn't really matter what the layout looks like. But I will do it occasionally.

16) What was your first game?
That Harry Potter board; I can't remember what it was called now but it was over on Proboards. Hogwarts something-or-other.

17) Are there any canons you avoid tagging characters from?
Mmm... not really.

18) Most memorable scene in any thread?
Heh, I don't know. There is one we refer to as "the perfect thread" but I couldn't pick just one.

19) Do you RP sex?
When the characters have sex, yeah.

20) Do you play more males or females?
Males.

21) What *won't* you RP?
Non-con, incest, rape. If they're applicable I'll have characters remember those things happening, but I don't want to write them out.

22) Dressing rooms: yes or no?
Nah.

23) Ever RPed a pairing?
But of course.

24) Favorite place to play: musebox, open posts, public games, private games?
Public games.

25) Talking RP with someone else who plays your character: fun or awkward?
It depends on whether or not the other person shares my perspective on the character. If they do, it's fun. If not... it can be really awkward.
