oh boy, a meme where I get to talk! Joys!
I am: Kiwi! (
maho_kiwi //
kiwikiwi@dreamwidth)
I play: Capell (
slashing_canon) Secret (
she_a_gas) David Nassau (
totally_syked) and Yukiko Amagi (
inndependent)
Concrit/OOC issues: I have post up... uhhh on both David and Yukiko's journals, which may or may not be anon-abled. I intended for them to be but I sort of fail at that. One day maybe I'll consolidate and only have one. I post to the concrit comm and I am open to email.
That said -- I totally want to hear what you think, provided that it is constructive! However, receiving crit does not necessarily mean I promise any changes -- everyone has their own interpretation, after all, and mine are just as valid and anyone else's.
Contact Methods: I have not been on IRC lately. When I am, I am usually on under Capell or Yukiko; I have pings and sound set up though, so I am pingable by any character I play, or just by "kiwi". ...Or "Seattle" |D
The most reliable way to contact me is via email (coffee.alchemist @ gmail), and I have gtalk at the same address. If I am on a computer, I have gmail open, nearly all of the time.
Time and scheduling issues: I am in PST, and I go to bed early (10-11pm), but I am free most of the time in the late afternoon-early evening, and on weekends.
My actual availability varies on if we have any Awesome Roommate Activities planned for the evening, but if you want to schedule something, I am always available for that.
Cliques, jumping, thread-dropping, etc.: Haha wow I'm such fresh meat still, I wasn't aware 'cliques' were an issue. I try not to play with the same people all the time, but I am generally bad about it because I am also terrible at jumping people! It's a common affliction, I gather!
BUT I WANT YOU TO JUMP ME. YES YOU. I love playing with everyone, I promise.
If I'm tired or get called away, I get thread droppy pretty fast, but poking me in chan or via email is a-ok and I will totally pick up. I'M FORGETFUL. I NEED REMINDERS.
Comfort levels: If you manage to step outside my comfort levels, I will tell you, although there is not a lot that I am not down with. Cracky, dark, full of ridiculous teenager emo, space weasels, whatever you got, man. <3
Apps and betaing: If I tell you I will app for you, what I probably mean is "in three months I will have something you can look at, after I have hated myself a lot in the interim". It's not you it's me. I don't app often. Ish. Okay that's not true. I start apps all the time. Finishing is another story.
I used to beta all the time, but that has dropped off in the last semester because I've been worn down. I like doing it, though, and I am best at things like grammar, flow, and tone. I am often not very good with jokes, but I... am fairly good at recognizing when a joke is trying too hard? (unless it's in my own app AINT IT ALWAYS THE WAY)
I am honest and maybe a little blunt, but I promise I am friendly and I really do want to help make people's apps better!
Essays: I have essayed exactly once. I may do it on command if asked, like a toy poodle at the state fair.
Posting and memes: I am pretty good at memes. Less so with posting. I have posting guilt and then I rarely pick up the next day. But I'm trying to get better at this, because I really like being able to play with a bunch of people.
AU-ing: I have not ever done one, so probably there would be some fumbling on my part as I figured it out, but I would totally love to do so.
...if it is sexyteims AU, I am okay with either prose or brackets, so long as we are internally consistent. Also I write in the present tense; past tense, especially in RP, tends to mess with my head.
Final comments: I love getting to know people/characters, and I love playing out relationships; I need to be better at keeping up with the ones I have.
idk, lately I feel like a giant energy sink. There's a lot I want to do in camp, but by the time I get home I'm exhausted. I'm hope hope hoping this gets better, this summer.
