Looks like I need to set the record straight on some stuff. I've had three people tell me this weekend that they've been warned about me, but they wanted to hear my side of things. That was cool of them, and I appreciate that so much.
So here we go.
1 – I am a serious role player, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy some cracky fun from time to time. However I do not like to see a fandom character ruined by bad RP. If you play a fandom character badly, I will not read what you write. I will not RP with you, and I will not follow you on twitter.
2 – I will NEVER tell you who you can RP with or talk to. I don’t care who your friends are. I don’t care if you like me or the people I RP with. RP is RP and RL is RL. Who you want to associate with IC and OOC is up to you.
3 – If someone says I hurt them, chances are they had problems telling the difference between IC feelings and OOC feelings. If you promise not to send me DM/IM/PMs offering to do dirty things with me – as in ME not my character – you don’t have to worry about that. On second thought don’t send that stuff to my characters either.
4 – If you can’t take Sylar being mean to you, put on your big girl panties and grow up. It’s RP. He’s a villain. He’s not going to be nice to everyone. I’m role playing for my enjoyment not yours. If you don’t like what you see/read, stop looking. I’m not your property to be pawed at or used as a pawn.
That’s about it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ve set the comments on this to screen.

I'm writing this reply from my phone (which is somewhat difficult, but not all together ridiculous) or I'd check who you should credit. If you click onto my icon list, however, and run a search for the icon listed (appropriately) as "bite me," the credit info is listed there, if you're so inclined. I credit out of habit, not necessarily because it was demanded.
Goodness I am long-winded for being on my phone! Anyway, I always enjoy reading your thoughts on RP. Thanks for crossposting to Twitter!

Insane too for writing all of that on your phone. Dear god! LOL

It's a game, people. If it's not fun, you're doin' it wrong.
Newbies (and I will consider myself a newbie forever) have a hard time differentiating IC and OOC, especially when playing high emotion RPs. You get emotionally invested in your muse, and they in you, and you can blur who's feeling what if you're not careful. I KNOW I did, but I learned. Hell, it still happens to me, and I have to step back and slap Lizzie upside the head and go "Hey, crazy bitch. Calm the fuck down and use your brain!"
On another note, I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Knowing you, and RPing with you, has made me a better person. End of story. My spine has grown in, my skin gotten thicker and my ability to determine what is a real 'problem' and what is 'drama rama' has gotten much better. My life, on a whole, is so much easier now that I've grown the fuck up an realized that, and playing the game with you and the others I've met because of you played a HUGE part in this. So thank you. I love you.
So I might just paw at you when we meet IRL. Which I will make happen, somehow.

Forrealsies if you let other people tell you who you can RP/talk to, why would I want to have anything to do with you anyway?

True fact. Sheep do not make good friends. Excellent wool, but awful friends.
(sorry, had to fix. Those typos bugged the living shit outta me.)
