Preferences Brief overview of what I would be more or less willing to do (more >'s equal stronger preference)
Original >>> Canon

Gaia Threads/ PMs >> Other
Literacy :: I do care more about content and style than how much is posted, unlike those who say the same and then require X many paragraphs. Spelling should be correct, and I try my best with grammar. I usually proofread posts a couple times before sending them. I tend to post about three paragraphs. Roleplays requiring more than seven paragraphs per post will contain fluff description, flashbacks, and remeniscing of pointless events.
Frequency :: Every other day or so. The quickest roleplay reply you'll recieve will be a few hours after I read your post; the longest may be a week. I maybe willing to adjust post frequency. Please tell me if your posting will take longer than a week.
Romance :: Not at all necessary, but clarify whether or not you are expecting it. I would like to roleplay in a plot that isn't solely centered around romance though.
Post Decoration :: I'd rather not. I'll do it, but I tend to keep it modest. I find that over the top decor is distracting. If you are one of those roleplayers who finds plain text too boring to read, please do not ask me to roleplay with you; you probably have not read enough books for me to want to roleplay with you.
Groups :: Please only invite me to original roleplays or ones based on the fandoms listed below with original characters. PM me a brief summary of the roleplay so I know what I'm getting into, and if you have a specific character in mind that you would like me to play.
Ending the Roleplay :: If you are losing interest, tell me so we can work on something to make the roleplay more exciting or have it come to an end. If you don't want to continue the roleplay, please tell me so I'm not waiting around for nothing.

Fandoms I really don't want to play canon characters, however I would not mind using the settings, concepts, or plots from the following titles.
Books
Harry Potter
Hunger Games
Maze Runner (currently reading the third book)
Maximum Ride
Percy Jackson (only read the first book)
Uglies
TV and Movies
Stargate SG1/ Atlantis/ Universe/ (any movies)
The Matrix
Terminator
In Time
Firefly
X- Men
Disney (characters brought into the real world either like Enchanted or Once Upon A Time// other or suggest// may roleplay canon for this)
Irks
Ignore this section for group roleplays. These are just some little things that make me wince everytime I see them. If you could try to avaoid them, I would really appriciate it. I realize some of these have rambled into rants. Whoops.
Really Obvious Spelling Mistakes
And I mean really obvious ones such as words that should have been learned in the third grade. Misusing homophones can be included here, too. Typos are fine; they happen, and I can tell the difference.
Unnecessary Description
This only really bothers me when it wastes my time reading it just to fill up more space in the post. Usually it's pointless, minute details that are dragged on for paragraphs. These details, if they are important, should weave in with the action.
I was shocked to see several roleplays suggest fluff description when you did not meet the length requirement.
Meta Knowledge
Just because I say it OOC or I have my charcater think it does not mean your character will know it or be able to discern it immediately.
"Said" Substitues
Using a word other than said just for the sake of avoiding the word said, especially when it's words such as laughed, smiled, or winced. It is impossible to laugh words, to actually laugh while saying something. One could wince while saying something but not actually wince the words.
The "Shy" Character
I've never, ever seen this played well. The character is either over the top shy or is only shy when it's convenient. They freak out whenever someone gets too close, or they blush and look cute when someone talks to them, or they completely ignore the quality layed out in the profile sheet. If you want to play this character, you'll have to convince me you can.
The "Tragic" Backstory
Also something I've never seen done well. Most roleplayers who use this rely on it to make their characters interesting. Another black and white issue: either over done or has no effect on the character. If you want to play this character, you'll have to convince me you can.
The [Physical Attribute] [Gender] Phrase
"The red headed female" "The blue eyed boy" "The golden haired blonde"
They are all ridiculous, especially with an accumpanying picture.
