That Playing Style Meme
CONTACT
IRC If I'm at home I'm pretty much always on IRC, and usually as Zuko. I pay more attention to my various cast chans than the main chan, where I can never remember who anyone is and it moves too fast for me to keep up with. PMing is generally more likely to get my attention than pinging, because I don't have a laptop anymore and frequently wander off.
Alternatives I'm usually on Gchat (thegrimwombat at gmail!) and I add everyone who adds me! Sometimes I apparently don't show up and my connection times out or I forget not to be invisible so uh. Y'know. And all other chat programs scare me so email or Gchat are your best bets if you don't like IRC.
Style I CAPSLOCK A LOT! I'm also prone to rambling endlessly about character motivations and posts we should do and threads we should have and the state of my fandoms and the latest movie I watched on FearNet and the bagel I had for breakfast and that thing my dog just did so if I start bugging you just whack me upside the head. On the flip side of that, I'm also pretty forgetful so if I don't reply to you for a while I probably looked away for a second and got distracted and forgot we were talking. IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME. So feel free to bother me if I accidentally ignore you.
Crit I generally don't post in the concrit comm anymore just because... I never remember to! BUT you are always more than welcome to email me with crit, or comment here, anon or not, and I'll flail and essay at you and do my best to fix whatever the problem is if there is one! I DON'T BITE.
THREADING
Playing Frequency Varies wildly! Sometimes I'll be making a few hundred comments a week and sometimes I can go for days without touching a thread.
Replying Speed I'm pretty timely but certainly not one of the fastest out there, especially if I'm in multiple threads or playing more than one character. Generally, though, I take under ten minutes.
Thread Dropping Ha ha ha I am horrible at this. I'll look away for a second or accidentally close a tab or drown in notifications and YOU WILL NEVER SEE A COMMENT FROM ME AGAIN. I do this to threads I really enjoy all the time and then don't remember I was having them until the other person reminds me! REMIND ME, YOU GUYS, I SUCK AT THIS :(
Thread Pickup I'm always up for it! Sometimes I'll do it on my own and sometimes I won't, but I can and will keep up threads for weeks (just ask Jet). So yes, if I've dropped a thread and you want me to pick it up just let me know! I'll be more than happy to oblige.
Comfort Levels I am pretty much fine with anything, be it crack/drama/angst/romance/violence/awkwardness/whatever. Fight threads... mmm, fight threads I actually super-suck at (why do I keep apping characters that should be fighters?! SOB) and I'm quite awful at figuring out who'd win or keeping the balance of power accurate so uh I tend to avoid those if I can. Or have the most ridiculous action tags ever. FORGIVE ME?
Threading Permission You are allowed to jump me basically anytime, for any reason! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that people actually want to play with my crazies. But know that once I'm threading with more than three or four people and I'm not in a post, the odds of me dropping your thread increase exponentially. Because balance is hard and my attention span is nil.
POSTING
Frequency Hardly ever!
Spontaneity LOL PLANNING THINGS. I think the most I ever plan posts ahead of time is like... three hours, or they just don't happen.
Postrape I would like to say I can handle it. But I can't. This is why when I do post it's almost never with Zuko -- he gets the most raped and then I weep bitterly at Excel and try to keep up threads and drop things and flail and eventually slink off to hide under my bed in the fetal position.
Time before a post is abandoned Like I said, I'm a total lightweight. I'm okay for a few hours, but usually threads start getting dropped after two or three hours, and after four or five I've pretty much gotten to a decent stopping point with some, figured most people are fed up with my slowness, and I'm basically down to poking idly at a few threads. Bug me if I drop yours before you want me to, though, and I'll totally pick it up.
QUIRKS
New Canon I app from canons I love, and gleefully devour every scrap of news like a starving crazed weasel. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS SPOILERS WITH ME I WILL CAPSLOCK AT YOU ENDLESSLY OVER THEM.
AUs ... well. I don't really know why you'd want to. But okay, sure. Just know that I am actually quite incapable of sexiness in any form. And enjoy accidentally setting the bedsheets on fire at inopportune moments.
