What's your name?: Crystal. It's ~real.
Age?: 22.
Where do you live?: New York. Where in New York? Only few people know.
Do you have a job?: Twooo. I work at a public library as a reference page and I intern full-time at a scientific journal.
How much RP experience do you have?: Hnn, a considerable amount, and all on LJ. I was moderator @ xmutanthigh, which was a pretty popular X-men RP if you were looking for the Gossip Girl version of Xavier's. I also played Julian Keller there and because I was in love with that game and just the nature of... Julian, he was pretty much ~the star~. Then I picked up Elle Bishop almost a year ago. Those are the two strongest muses I have. It's been... five years, then.
What are your feelings about shipping?: I think obviously every relationship is flawed in some way because the people in them are intrinsically flawed. I love shipping characters because I like trying to figure out how they would work together. I think I'm explaining this wrong even as I'm rambling. I guess I'm just quite character-driven and I like playing out relationships in a realistic way while exploring the overall effect they have on the character I'm playing. Relationships are powerful and can change or alter you, just like anything else in life. IDK there are a lot of things I feel about shipping; I feel like this is just touching the tip of the iceberg. I just like RPing relationships in any stage as long as they are realistic and have substance.
What are your feelings about smut?: I think RPing smut is simply... awesome, okay. And I will do anything as long as my characters are comfortable with it. However, I don't usually RP smut with random people. I feel like as natural as sex is, it's still quite personal, and it makes sense to talk to and know the RPer you're throwing your character at, especially if they are in a relationship. This really goes for anything. The more you talk to your RP partner, the better and more comfortable your logs will be.
Are there things you won't RP?: ...Nope. I'm pretty open-minded about everything. And if the shoe fits, wear it. Although, actually... on second thought, I have my lines I don't cross--like rape or sexual/physical abuse. I think with the right RP partner and the right setting and such I... might be open to something like that if I think it's done in a respectful way and maybe some things fade to black. But overall my answer would be no to that kind of stuff, especially with minors or young characters. I feel like this stuff goes without saying, but maybe it doesn't. I also like RPing within my age group because life is NC-17 - R, okay, and I like being realistic.
What are your favorite things to RP?: ...Everything? With anyone? As long as the log has some substance and just the enjoyment of all involved I'm in love with it. Angst, drama, fluff, smut. I don't differentiate. If a thread is golden, it's just golden. Although I guess, especially with Elle, I just like things getting psychotic and fucked up, because she's my only muse that will go there. And I love me some angst.
What's something you wished would get RPed more?: The Hunger Games. But then again, I don't. Because it's too close to my heart. I'd like to see a Twilight cast that ignored movie canon and picked their own PBs and just did the books justice. :')
Are you plot driven?: Not particularly. I don't rebel against structure, but I'm mostly character driven. Although obviously... something needs to be happening to build character. As for big complicated plots, I think the BNW plots are the only kind I've been able to mesh with so nicely.
Slow or fast tagger: Quite fast, I'd say. If I'm in the zone, I'll usually tag back within ten minutes. If I'm not or I'm out living my life, probably a few to several hours. I don't usually put off tags.
Who are your active muses? Elle Bishop is definitely the most active. I guess I play Sarah Walker froyoho quite a bit, as well. Also Wendy Darling awendy and Dana Scully scullingyou soon, too.
Your favorite muses to write?: I can't decide between Elle and Julian Keller kickasstelekine. Don't make me.
Contact information?: I'll answer to PMs, but I'll answer to IMs directed to fancynewwhatever faster.
