Spoilers:
I have read all of the books and seen all of the movies, so I assume that whoever I am playing has as well (unless stated otherwise). Lily mostly follows the books rather than the movies, though I'm more than happy to blend the two or stick to one specific canon material.
If you haven't seen a movie or read the books (or a book) please be sure to specify this so I don't spoil you. That's the last thing I wish to do. I can simply attempt to alter the way I play Lily if she is reacting to or implicating an event that has occurred in the material that you haven't seen.
OOC:
Backtagging: Definitely. I'm always happy to keep a thread going (if it's necessary).
Threadhopping: Yeah, sure. Though, please don't push out my character (unless she wants to go). If the thread is marked private, please respect that. (We can figure out a public thread if you want.)
Fourthwalling: No thanks. I'd rather play this as realistically as possible. But if you have an interesting idea, drop me a message and pitch it to me.
Canon puncture: No thanks. I can't stand this in fanfic and I know I won't be able to stand it in RP. The only way I'd be able to deal with this is to have it turned into a Prophecy or something of the like.
Violent content: I'm okay with it - because it's rather expected in the First Wizarding War, isn't it? :P - but please drop me a line so we can work things out. I'd just like to have Lily react accordingly. And I'd like to know how far you'd want to take it. (As I'm not keen on her dying - again.)
Sexual content: I'm alright with it. Mun and Lily are over 18. If Lily's in school, then we'll have to pass. However, if she's out of school, drop me a line so I know what's up. :P
Offensive subjects: I'm open to anything. However, I won't participate in anything involving rape or sexual violence.
IC:
Friendly affection (touching, hugging, etc): Sure, though Lily would probably prefer if she knew you. With the war going on, she's a little bit untrusting. (CONSTANT VIGILANCE and all that. :P) But with friends, definitely.
Flirting: Sure. She may flirt back, but that may depend on the 'verse (since if she's with James, I sort of see Lily trying to let you down gently.)
Kissing: Sure, though her reaction may depend on whether she knows you, whether you have an established relationship (platonic or sexual), what kind of kiss it is (cheek or lips) and whether she's with James or not. If she's with James - or in any relationship - I don't see her reacting too well to being kissed romantically on the lips.
Relationships: I'm always up for plotting one out, though Lily's canon relationship is with James Potter. I'm always up for doing an AU (or one in a different 'verse), just as long as we can talk it out (since Lily reacts to James' courting like she's depicted in the books and I'd like to know what sort of pre-relationship interaction you'd like - or would suit them, if you're interested in playing out the courting).
Fighting: Lily isn't a great fighter physically. Though, Lily knows her way around a wand. If you're interested in fighting, drop me a line so we can talk about it.
Injury: I'm alright with it. It's expected if you're following the basic Harry Potter canon and having it set during a war (First Wizarding War or the Final War). Though, please drop me a line so we can talk about it. I'm alright with Lily having minor or major injuries but if the injury will lead to death we're going to have to talk about it as I'm not really interested in heading down that path.
Death: Considering Lily dies in canon, I'd rather avoid this. However, if you want to play out October 1981 (or 1981 in general) then I'd love to plot it out with you. However, I'm not entirely interested in killing Lily off yet. Though, if you have an interesting idea, send a message my way and we can talk about it.
Other notes:
Please don't control my character. I know it may be a well-known thing that doesn't need to be said around roleplaying, but I've had experience where people have controlled my character - even in the tiniest way - and I really, really don't like it. To be safer than sorry, I'd thought I'd mention it. It puts me off (and throws me off!) and I will probably not return to the thread.
If you want Lily to do something, drop me a message and we can talk about it - and plot something out so it gets there organically. I'm completely up for that.
If I haven't commented/returned a tag, please feel free to send me a reminder! I'm in a bit of a habit where I sort of leave comments alone for a few days before attacking them, and sometimes, with this method, I lose the comment in my inbox and forget about it entirely. That, and Life may grab me a bit fiercely and I may forget that we're still going. I'm more than happy to receive a reminder telling me to pick up where we've left off. (Just be nice about it? :))
I'm willing to play with any characters from the Harry Potter universe. This includes OCs set in the Marauder Era, Harry's Era or the Next Generation; and established book/movie characters set in any of the eras. If you have a character who isn't from Lily's era, please drop me a line so we can figure something out - since Lily isn't present physically for Harry's or the Next Generation and I'd rather make this a bit organic and have it be a different 'verse from my Lily Canon.
I play Lily Post-Hogwarts, switching between Pre-Marriage and Post-Marriage to James Potter. She's set in 1977-1981. I'm open to playing Lily in her Hogwarts Years or in an AU 'verse. Just send me a message and we can plot something out.
To send me a message, you can just send it via witchings. The messages are enabled.
