OOC INFO: Player name: Preferred contact:
TAGGING PREFERENCES Preferred tag speed: Tagging speed you don't work well with: How much planning do you prefer to do before jumping in? Anything else about style, pacing, etc? How important is shipping to the story for you? Or would you rather avoid it? Are you interested in writing NSFW content?
WORLDBUILDING Multicharacter PSL: Are you comfortable involving many characters, or do you want to focus on just the main pair? NPCs: Do you enjoy writing NPCs and background characters, or would you prefer to avoid them? Setting Details: How comfortable do you feel inventing and describing details of the shared setting that haven't been previously discussed in your tags?
Here is the character specific information, to be filled out in a new comment for each character. If any of the above information varies by character, feel free to make a note of that in this comment.
CHARACTER INFO Character name: Character age: Canon: Basic info: a quick rundown of your character's basic personality, job, lot in life, etc etc Appearance: link to an image or write a basic description Setting: what kind of setting are they from? what kind of other settings are you willing to fit them into? are there any settings you're not interested in?
PLOTTING Storylines you want to write: if you have any preexisting ideas you want to find a parter to write with you Themes you want to explore: (ex: building loyalty, overcoming trauma, dragons in general) Roles your character can play to others: (ex: bodyguard, weapon trainer, grizzled war vet, mercenary captain) Shipping: If you're interested in including shippy content, what gender(s) and personality types do you prefer for this character?
CANON CHARACTER SPECIFIC: Are you interested in crosscanon PSLs? How closely do you want to adhere to canon in terms of headcanons? Are you interested in an AU, or OU only?
SAMPLE RP: want to test your writing compatibility before you commit to a storyline? post a link to a top level of 1-3 simple scenarios (maybe there is a link here to a list of prefab scenarios, if needed)
PLAYER INFO Player name: zee Preferred contact: PM or comment here, plurk or discord if we wanna settle into longform writing (or if we already know each other there) Timezone: PST (GMT-8) Brackets or prose? Gentle preference for prose unless it's a quick thing, brackets start to feel silly with lots of words in them.
TAGGING DETAILS Preferred tag speed: I love an initial flurry of activity as we get things established. Then happy to have it fade into boomeranging for a bit a few times a week, with slow tags outside of that. Acceptable tag speed: Slow but steady back and forth tags once or twice a day. Tagging speed you don't work well with: A constant flurry of activity, I'm too old and tired for that anymore. I also do lose interest eventually if the tags are consistently infrequent. How much planning do you prefer to do before jumping in? I like to have an idea what the point of our current scene is, but I don't need every beat worked out in advance. Anything else about style, pacing, etc? I FULLY support dropping a current scene if it's starting to feel slow, and jumping to the next interesting point in the storyline. Life is too short to write things that aren't that exciting, but I don't want to drop the whole PSL whenever I start to feel that slowdown. Also, sometimes I get really busy and disappear for a month, but when I come back I'm ready to go hard and get back into things if you are. Are you interested in shipping? Yes, if/when it gets to it. Most my characters are bi unless stated otherwise, because I prefer a tasty dynamic over anything else. Are you interested in writing smut? Yes if it would advance the characterization or scene, or be interesting and atypical somehow. Otherwise I usually prefer to handwave once their dynamic is established.
WORLDBUILDING Multicharacter PSL: I LOVE many characters floating around, but would prefer to focus on the main pair until we're comfortable with their dynamic. Then I'm down to add whoever we want >:3 NPCs: I can write NPCs but don't always have the energy for it, so a 50/50 division of scene setting and NPC writing labor feels good to me. (I can shoulder a little more than 50% but don't want to do ALL the lifting.) Setting Details: I'm extremely comfortable inventing settings and details unless we're using a preexisting setting that I don't know very well, then I don't want to get things wrong and step on toes.
