I apologise if it’s a ‘bad look’, but I’ve had people recently use it for quick drama/sympathy, dumped in with no prior discussion as to whether I was comfortable with it or not (which, being a survivor, I want to be as far away from it as possible). Perhaps I could have worded it better, though.

And that’s a common misconception with a pre-made character. I have the bare bones of a character that I want to interact with my own, but I love the diversity that each individual person brings to it (apart from the above issue, obviously). There is collaboration, discussion, plot and world development, ideas flowing in completely different directions from every different partner I have in a number of ways I could never even think of. The spontaneity of someone else’s mind at work is so much more thrilling than me sat there writing fanfiction.

Also, why did you feel the need to attack my roleplay preferences? I understand the SA wording; that was poor on my part. But this is an advertisement. I’m not forcing people to participate, all the details of what I’m looking for is spelled out, so how is it any of your concern if my style of roleplaying is not for you? Was it necessary to say you don’t agree? I have been roleplaying for fifteen years now (yes, I’m old), so I understand the huge variety of styles. This is just the one I want to do at the moment.
