I admit I personally have a predisposition toward writing sex-- I've never hidden that I'm a huge, scandalous perv, and it's why my primary game is a sex game. However, if I am oversexualizing my characters to the point it's upsetting other players, I'd like to change that pronto. Frankly, while I know I'm an oversexualized player (and I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable), none of my guys even in DV are having sex all that often or with very many partners. I could write up an entire list for you and none of them are 'seeing' more than two other dudes with the exception of Drocell (and I thought I wrote out why he became a public liaison well enough over a series of logs, but if I haven't, I'd be happy to try and explain it here!).

Are you talking about IM rp? Since that's so individual, if you just told me, anon, I'd change what I'm doing right away! Are you talking about Liam (I'm so paranoid about that kid)? I've been ignoring him a little, but he's been having platonic interactions over in Somarium and virtually zero sex in DV minus the mostly offscreen stuff he does with Vince.

I'm not trying to make excuses, but I really don't know how to respond or change what I'm doing here without specific characters, since, for the most part, many of my logs as of late have been platonic/CR-building in nature (re: Liam's only been having sex offscreen in the last month or so, Ronald's last open thread where he talked to several people was entirely platonic minus some affection between him and Grell, it's canon for Mikael to be banging his boyfriend fairly often but I still really want to pursue him and Ahiru becoming close friends, etc. etc. etc.).

Is this a reflection of what I plot for/talk about on Plurk? If so-- I figured that's what you do for a gay sex game. If anyone-- ANYONE-- ever comes out and says: Hey, loser, I'd like to write non-sexual buddies with you in DV (or in Som where I haven't done anything sexual or in SP where my character comes from a spot in canon where he's in a sexual, monogamistic relationship)... I'd be all over that shit like you have no idea. I love writing friendships/broships/non-sexual romantic scenes (when they fit the characters)/etc. I truly am open to it, and feel free to slap me in the face if I've ever seemed to blow you off when you'd suggested it (... same deal to anyone I've ever accidentally blown off in any regard).

So, basically the tl;dr version is: I'm sorry I've upset you, anon! I'll try to stay more mindful of the plots I suggest to others. However, if we really are rp buddies, I'd like for you to come and talk to me personally when/if you ever feel comfortable with it. I want to be able to chat about this and realize specific instances where I've messed up or-- if I feel I haven't-- at least have a chance to explain to you where I was coming from at the time as diplomatically as possible.

tl;dr tl;dr I'm a perv but I still want to be friends. : (

No, I understand, and like I said I really like playing with you on DV and all. Sorry I don't confront you about this unanon but I don't want you to be awkward around me or anything ;;;

At this point, anon, all I can say is I'd feel much better if I knew who you were and how I could fix things between us-- but yes, that would, at this point, require you being willing to take off the guise of anonmity. I can't absolutely promise I won't want to walk on eggshells for a little if you come out and tell me who you are (presumably somewhere private rather than on this HMD), but I can swear I wouldn't be bitter or jaded or anything like that. I'm a natural people pleaser, I like to think. If I sound upset at all here, it's because I'm disappointed in myself for potentially alienating a friend, not because I'm mad at you.

I hope you can work up the courage to IM/private Plurk/PM/anything me. I'd really appreciate it and I think it would help us both in the end.
