I should be doing this on my main account but poor Peter doesn't get much posting.
What's your name?: Kel Johnson
Your Sign: Aquarius in the Year of the Monkey. *snorts*
Where do you live?: Minnesota
Do you have a job?: No but I am looking and I'm trying my hand at writing a book.
How much RP experience do you have?: Over 10 years. I started on pencil and paper AD&D with some friends but it wasn't an always thing, usually when we were bored and wanted something to do. I didn't get into online until just a few years ago and I love it. I've met some really great people through online playing.
What are your feelings about shipping?: I'm late coming to the game and I don't ship a lot but there are certain characters that just call to me. Anyone who knows me knows who that is. LOL Otherwise, I don't ship for ship's sake. There has to be some real chemistry for me to even notice a ship, I do not have ship goggles and just don't get it sometimes. As for other people shipping, I won't ever tell them they're wrong. I might find a ship squicky but if that's what someone likes, then good for them. I won't ever bash someone for who they like and I hate people that do that. It's stupid.
What are your feelings about smut?: I love smut, I have absolutely no problem playing it. That being said, I can't just play it with anyone. If I've just met you, I don't want to play smut with you, give me a chance to get to know you first. Otherwise, I'll feel really uncomfortable with it and won't have as much fun. Also, as much as I like smut, that's not all I want to play. I'd much rather have plot over smut. It's like a good book. Give me the story, throw some smexy hotness in there once in awhile, let the characters grow. That's what I like.
Are there things you won't RP?: Underage stuff, usually (and I do mean underage, like under 15 type stuff), but other than that, no. I'm pretty open but some things I'd only play with people I know well. I also won't let people tell me how to play my character. I learned that lesson the hard way and I won't ever do it again.
What are your favorite things to RP?: Story! I love having a vague idea of what I want to see happen and just letting it flow with no idea of what's going to happen or what to do next. I love surprising my character (and the people I play with) with what comes next. I also love hurt/comfort storylines, there's just something about seeing how different characters react to those kinds of situations that I love watching.
What's something you wished would get RPed more?: I don't know. The people I play with are so good, there's not much I want to see that's not being done already. I think I'd have to stick with the character arcs, seeing more of them grow.
Are you plot driven?: Not totally. I like a light outline, and idea, of what we want to do but I like giving my muses free reign, let them act like...normal people would in the same situation.
Slow or fast tagger: Usually fast but there are times where I just get brain dead and take forever to tag. I feel bad about that but I know my friends understand, they go through the same things too.
Who are your active Fandoms? Heroes (which I wish was more active), American Horror Story, some Star Trek and I just got into a Heroes/Firefly crossover.
Your favorite muses to write?: I don't write much for my muses but I kind of want to change that. Sometimes the boys get mad at me because they feel ignored (the girls too). It might help getting my writing juices back.
Why did you start RPing? Why do you RP?: When I first started, it was just something to do with friends. When I got started online, it was because I was looking for something fun to do. I got pulled in but ran into some people that weren't the best for me. Because of them though, I meet some truly wonderful, loving people and now I play because it's fun and I enjoy spending time with my friends again.
