[text: Douglas] It was really great meeting you tonight! I hope you had fun in spite of the whole dress thing. Which I’m still very very very sorry about.

[text: Douglas] It was a very nice dress and it’s totally understandable that you were angry, but I swear that what happened was not my intention. 

[text: Douglas] I guess I’m just texting you to apologise and stress that I am not a creep.

[text: Douglas] I really have to know or else it’s going to drive me crazy.

[text: Douglas] How did you know that that horrible old customs worker was bluffing? If I had done what you did, I would have gotten arrested.

paranet-check-in:

We have a new year ahead of us!  As this new year dawns, we have been waiting for the next Dresden Files book for two and a half years, with the release date still not… released.

Having such a wait can be hard on a fandom, and in trying to counter a slow descent into fandom madness and rp indifference, I would like to issue a challenge, and a survey.

THE CHALLENGE:

RP with someone new.  RP with someone old you haven’t RP’d with in a while.  Send memes.  Send sentence starters.  Reply to someone’s open starter. Ask someone to plot (and then actually carry through with making the thread).  Start something new with someone new once a week, or once a month.

In short: Interact with people.  This community and other RPers who pop by to interact with us will only stick around so long as people make efforts to go interact with others, rather than expecting the others to come to us.

THE SURVEY:

This is just a survey to give other people (and yourself) an idea of how you prefer to roleplay, or to initiate roleplays.

Bold which option(s) apply to you, go ahead and repost the survey.

* I prefer to start new threads by:

random memes | sentence starters | open starters | plotted starters | other (specify)

* I prefer threads in this format:

gifs | icons | icons/gifs with short reply | short reply | medium (para) reply | long (multi-para) reply | texts

* I generally reply to threads within a(n):

hour | few hours | day or two | week | longer than a week

* If excited about a thread, I generally reply within a(n):

hour | few hours | day or two | week | longer than a week

* The types of threads I enjoy to write:
