It's not usunual for me to step away for a couple days, now and again. Things come up. Any longer than that, and I'd be sure to notify my roleplay partner(s).
Verses | Gin is a powerful incantatrix who can traverse time and space. I use this as a tool to enter different verses and genres. I have a list of over 20 "experienced" verses that can be found on my page (shows I've watched and have created some sort of a backstory for). But I'm open to ANY crossover. If either myself or my character isn't familiar with the genre, we could simply use that in storyline (wandering or stranded in an unfamiliar land).
Communication | For privacy's sake, I prefer messages over comments. If you send me comments, I'll reply. I just never initiate with Comment chat myself. The old ones pile up, and when I delete them I often forget what was said. I find IMs the most convenient for chat and discussion. Don't be shy.

Friendships | I do not seek OOC relationships, but I don't mind them. I've met some great friends from this hobby. Its imperative you are able to realize the difference between IC and OOC, though. Its great for a writer to harness those natural emotions, but in order to truly play a role we must separate ourselves from our own aura then project a new one.
Identity | I have role played for well over a decade, since the era of Myspace. I am very open with my RP history. I respect that not everyone is as open. If you wish to remain incognito, that's your perogative. Some do this for the character's sake; others, to avoid drama. Both good reasons.
But a select few would exploit this to form fake personal relationships. Fake rp relationships are to be expected. And refraining from any sort ooc relationship is acceptable. But fake ooc relationships will not be tolerated.
If you've switched profiles recently, but recognize me (since I've had the same playby for years). Please, let me know. Or, if I you've added this account on multiple different profiles, I'd appreciate knowing that they are you. If you're hiding and I find you, it won't look good.
Mutes/Blocks | I try to send everyone on my list an eventual greeting, regardless of who added (find it easier than keeping track of who requested). They're never copy paste, and I always read the profile first to try and dig up an idea for a story. I'll usually give a couple weeks to a month before I delete a profile that has not replied and seems vacant. Honestly, I'm quicker to delete those who dont reply but are constantly "active", clogging up my stream with everything but content.
Discussion | Please, read my profile before discussing. The info is on my profile for a reason; I can certainly give a brief synopsis or delve deeper, but don't expect me to just regurgitate information. If you don't have any info on your profile, you'll be expected to put more effort into the discussion.
