Mun Meme (from lots of people)
What's your name?: Elissa, but everyone aside from my immediate family calls me Ed.
Age?: 20
Where do you live?: Texas, in the greater Houston area. Austin when I'm at school, except for this upcoming year where I'll be studying abroad in Tokyo. My apartment there is in Shinjuku.
Do you have a job?: Nothing constant, since I'm still a full-time student at UT. This summer I'm working full-time in a machine shop doing various filler jobs for the guys- everything from sandblasting to drilling sheet aluminum. Fun and good pay but a bit on the hazardous side.
How much RP experience do you have?: I wrote a lot when I was younger, but I didn't really start doing RP until 2008. I started with canon characters on LJ- my first was Olette (KH2), most recently played was Rico (Gunslinger Girl) and HinaIchigo (Rozen Maiden). My first OC was Hoshi, who I started playing last November.
What are your feelings about shipping?: I like to watch them develop, not just throwing two people together for no other reason beside people wanting it to be so. Some of this I've picked up from my friends who are into Touhou.
What are your feelings about smut?: I like reading well written smut, but I don't really have the confidence to do it up to my own expectations. Hence why you'll never see me doing it.
Are there things you won't RP?: Anything sexual since I fail at writing it. Um... if I've never done something (action wise, like being drunk or flying a plane for example) I'm very reluctant to write about it unless I've done a lot of research on it.
What are your favorite things to RP?: Recently it's been Vera's (bringmeacupcake ) growing relationship with Mephisto (valde_decipio ). They were so cute and flirty together, and now that they both know the truth about each other it's deliciously awkward.
What's something you wished would get RPed more?: Nothing really comes to mind. Maybe Recess? That show rocked my childhood. I wouldn't even mind if it was AU (like grown-up versions or something).
Are you plot driven?: I like a nice balance. Plot can help when I'm in a funk and don't know what else to write about, but I like having a little freedom to do mundane stuff too. Good writing can make anything important to the character.
Slow or fast tagger: Slow, because I tend to over think my tags like a chess player trying to plan multiple moves ahead. Or in the case of it being a weekday, because I have very little time to actually tag.
Who are your active muses? According to my Gmail tags (in descending order): Hoshi (here), Abari (shyviolinist ), Vera (bringmeacupcake ), Ananchel (gives_grace ), then Honey (theearthmoves ).
Your favorite muses to write?: It varies by my mood, but I tend to prefer Vera and Hoshi.
Contact information?: PM on any of my journals, or my AIM which is hoshiwokoete
