Soul Sucking Devils

My blog post today is about several things but firstly it's the men and women who think that they're their characters. Yes. People on the other end of computers do form friendships and even relationships. But for fuck's sake, just because your character is playing with someone, it doesn't mean that you own that person irl. It's ROLE play for a fucking reason. If you cry because your character got rejected, you have a problem. It's called Self-Insert Sue and you need to see a writing doctor about it immediately.

All Hail Grammar!

All hail Grammar!

Now, I try not to be a spelling and grammar Nazi, for I know that mine is not perfect,  but I know that I can be from time to time.  It's just disconcerting when I see the wrong punctuation used or people that really and truly need to figure out what the fuck a comma is.  For those of you who don't know it's this ',' Easily found, just hit the key right beside your period button. Yep. No. Not on the right, it's to the left, but it's right beside it. A friend of mine asked me to read a thread he was in. Naturally, I obliged… and immediately regretted it.

What I look for in role playing

First and foremost I enjoy writing with someone who provides well written detail but not overzealous and supercilious description.  I love reading character development and inner thoughts, descriptions of the surroundings and the sounds that people make.  Clearing throats, boards squeaking under heavy boots with thick soles. The sound of clothing rustling as they move about. I don't care so much about how green leaves are this year in comparison to last year. Describing the color of the leaves is fine.
