035. -- Player Info Meme.
Figured I'd repost this with the updated details.
Me: Amber, aka Greenie. (I also respond IRL to Jack, sob.) LJ: bentley.
I Play: Jack (captaincy) and Claire (acrobatshit).
Available on: IRC as Jack or a linked nick; if we're threading and I'm not in mainchan, feel free to poke me to sign on, or ask Ry/AJ/Sian/Emiri/etc to poke me instead. email: escapism @ gmail
Timezone/Language: +10 GMT (Sydney, Australia.) British English with occasional Australianisms.
Betaing: Absolutely! I really love it, and people tell me I'm good. I will beta anything whether I know the canon or not - whether I know the player or not! Feel free to email me your apps without notice or name attached, even if I didn't volunteer on the beta post. Unless it's really last-minute I will do my best to let you know if I won't have time to beta for you, though if you're apping my canons I will damn well make time, and will happily brainstorm the app itself with you. A warning, though: I will nitpick sentence by sentence and while I'll offer rewords and suggestions, I won't mince words to save your ego. But I truly believe it is unfair for me to be a harsh voter and not offer to beta anyone who needs it, so seriously, rec me to your freshmeat friends or ask away!
Topping: I AM UNTOPPABLE!!!1 At least, I don't app people I don't want to. Look here is the thing, the pool of canons I know and love is huge. The percentage of those which have untaken characters I would love to play and will promise to app for you is also quite large. However, the number of those characters I would actually have the time and enthusiasm to play is much, much smaller. That is why I have so many apps written, and so few actually sent to beta. ...Still, if I play with you a lot and I have expressed bountiful affection for you, and if you are pushy and encouraging, it's not totally unlikely. (Getting me into a canon I don't already love, though, that's harder - for example, Trinity Blood hits a lot of my pings, has a character I want, has a cast in Camp I love to pieces who are played by my friends, has been pimped at me multiple times, and has been on my laptop for months. I still haven't read it.)
Thread Jumping: Is how I roll. If I mention wanting to play with you, I will be looking out for a good place to jump you, and I totally welcome being jumped myself if it's appropriate for the post. I ninja around so grab me when you see me. Also, I turn comment emailing off in my posts, so they are ALWAYS welcome to be mingle posts.
Thread Dropping: I'm very guilty of this. If I can't think of an interesting response, I don't think the conversation's going anywhere, or if I just archive the comment and forget! A lot of the time I drop threads because I take a break and lose momentum, lose the voice, or lose interest; this is especially likely with posts because I burn out and never want to see them again. If you desperately want something continued, don't be shy, let me know and I'll get back to it. If I am still ignoring it then uh, I am probably very busy and apologetic? Or I hate you, either one.
Crack vs. Emo: CRAWWWWLING IIIN MY SKIIIN. I'm in the middle, I enjoy a little oddity and I love anything that produces the funny but I also prefer to play very three-dimensional, fleshed out characters. I try to avoid regular emo since it loses its potency, and I am genuinely terrified of massive developments that make the character impossible to play, but when the time comes I will milk you for your tears.
AUs: Ask and you shall receive! I'd happily put Jack in an AU setting if I felt I knew how he'd react (I can visualize future! and space! AUs better than like, Potter and Pokemon). As for sex AUs; I'm over 18 and I already have a bucketload of ~fictional erotica~ on the intertubes. But it is highly doubtful I will ever approach someone specifically for porn. Actually, I can't take [this format] very seriously. Don't let that put you off; feel free to ask and we can work out what we're comfortable with - I do, after all, play an interstellar slut who would do half the camp if he had the opportunity. But let it be known, I will probably only do AUs when they genuinely never happened and don't affect my play.
Comfort Levels: I am unsquickable, and I know the difference between "roleplay" and "reality". I am a bit of a control freak, so the only thing that upsets me is anxiety through lack of communication.
Other: If I admit to stalking your character, don't be scared, just back away slowly or use one of the helpfully provided rape-whistles.
