ehhh screw the filter I usually post this crap under.
1. Where and when did you start RPing?
Back in... 2004, I think? I'm pretty sure my first game was a Detective Conan RP jigglygrlcarrie and I started. It had a surprisingly good run for a little bit before it met the inevitable end most single fandom RPs have.
2. Do you RP anywhere other than LJ?
I never have! So the setup of message board RPs confuse me, and I never was too crazy about AIM RP the few times I tried it.
3. Do you play in any public games?
Indeedy I do. I find them easier to play in since I'm not creative enough with plots or ideas to do one-on-one or private RP, and there's a wider variety of people to play with.
4. Do you prefer first-person comment spam or prose logging?
Depends. I adore prose like it's nobody's business, but it requires more work, where as comment spam doesn't. I prefer to use prose for more serious threads or where the scenario would just be a whole lot better with the narrative and introspection you can get with words, but for more casual and/or silly ones, I enjoy comment spam.
5. What was the first character you ever played?
Ai Haibara from Detective Conan.
6. Who's your favorite character to play now and why?
You'd never guess with how little I've been playing her for a while, but... definitely Yukari. She's very, very easy for me to play, and I never get bored of playing her; I think I'm just getting bored with the settings she's currently in. Sometimes I want to app her into a new game just to get a new start with her (it's been two years since, and AMS doesn't count, as it was an AU game).
7. What's the longest you've ever consistently played one character?
I think Yukari? I played Atoli for a while, but definitely not for two consistent years.
8. What's your biggest RP pet peeve?
Oh lord. e.e I have a million of them. So I'll just leave it at that.
9. Do you read RP secrets and the RP anon meme?
Yes and yes; I've been reading both since their beginnings.
10. If you've played in public before, do you prefer community based or journal based games?
COM-FUCKING-MUNITY.
11. Would you rather play with someone who's very very IC but a mediocre writer or someone who isn't always IC (but not terrible) and a great writer?
... Hahaha, I'll be honest-- I hate boring writing. It's dull and not fun to play off of. Even if your characterization is a little off, I don't care as long as your writing is fun to read and equally enjoyable to tag off of. Well, I mean, I'll probably point characterization issues off if I could, but. Yeah. My two cents.
12. Do you have a "RP partner"?
Not really. I have a handful of people I've bounced off of very well with certain characters, but nobody I play with all the time and go into a lot of games with.
13. Do you ever stalk any casts, games, or players? Who?
I, uh, okay I won't deny that I am a huge creepy stalker. MOSTLY, I am just nosy, but a lot of times I really do like reading all sorts of characters for the fandoms I love. I used to stalk EVERYONE EVER for .hack and Persona, now it's Soul Eater, lulz. (I am such a predictable person.) Also, I stalk dear_mun more than what should be considered healthy; hell if I know why, because while I do enjoy threading there when I do, the fourth walling such a community tends to have gets really awkward. Or rather, I should say the way some people handle it is. And I hate fourth walling! I don't even know.
14. In your opinion, which part of an app is the most difficult/annoying?
ALL OF IT. I hate apps so, so much. And this is why I rarely pick up new characters, haha-- it's so much easier to reuse the same ones over and over. Though, the personality and sample sections can go stab itself and die more than the rest of it. History is close behind, but not as frustrating; it's just tedious and mind-numbing. Every RP ever should have canon sections like cfud!!!
15. Are you one of those people who has to customize their character's journal layout and userinfo?
Yes. I get more into customizing the userinfo than the journal, though.
16. What was your first game?
The aforementioned Detective Conan game.
17. Are there any canons you avoid tagging characters from?
Mm... There are canons I don't like, so if I see them in an RP I won't go out of my way to tag them. If they tag me, sure, I'll play with them, and who knows, maybe something good will come out of it. But otherwise, I just leave them be.
18. Most memorable scene in any thread?
I think AMS had the most of them for me. The one that stands out the most for me was the Fortune Arcana plot, if only because of the huge plot twist izuro fujitsubo pulled on me. I don't think anything will surprise me more than that, hahaha. That game just had a lot of really fun threads in it.
19. Do you RP sex?
Nnnnnnooooooooo.
20. Do you play more males or females?
I... play just females right now. :B
21. What *won't* you RP?
Sex? Hahaha god, I. Don't know, I don't really get what's the Big Deal about it, and I find it really awkward to put a good majority of characters in such situations, but... eh, whatever the fangirls like, I guess.
22. Dressing rooms: yes or no?
I don't actively play in any, despite... modding one lulz. I wouldn't mind them, but I find a good majority of DRs start off strong, and then eventually get so cluttered with weird AUs that it sort of gets off-putting.
23. Ever RPed a pairing?
I have. Back when... I was a pretty terrible RPer, but I'm still impressed by the amount of development we put in it regardless. For the curious, it was between Alphonse Elric and Setsuna Sakurazaki. :x And on occasion I will go back and thread our billions of threads, trying not to cringe between all the nostalgia. Sob.
24. Favorite place to play: musebox, open posts, public games, private games?
Public games, mostly because I haven't done much with any other kind of games/museboxes/what have you.
25. Talking RP with someone else who plays your character: fun or awkward?
Psshaw, nobody ever actively plays Atoli or Yukari! But adoricrack is another Maka player that I talk with a lot, and I have to say it's been pretty fun. Since we're both pretty active players, we're always sharing ideas or whatever wacky hijinks we get into next, or even on occasion go "OH GOD HELP, I'M STUCK ON THIS THREAD, HOW SHOULD I REPLY". But uh, yes, it's been fun dorking out with each other.
FFFFUUUUUU I actually had stuff I wanted to talk about, but WHOOPS LOST TRACK OF THE TIME, I really gotta sleep 'cause I'll probably get long winded about it. I swear I will post something that isn't a stupid meme later.
