#ref: rules

Hello writers, I'm Natty (36, she/her) and this is my selective indie rp blog. I've been writing on this hellsite for well over a decade in groups and indie. There will be triggering content on this blog (tagged: trigger tw) and spicy content (tagged: smut). Most of the writing on this blog is slice of life. You'll notice many muses are in careers for my hyperfixations (motorsport like F1 and MotoGP or the NHL). I'm not big on writing in fantasy fandoms and I'm exceptionally bad at answering DMs. You can see my rules below to decide if this is a place you want to be.

ONE . Minors DNI! For professional and personal reasons I will block any blog without the age clearly displayed on a pinned post or blog description or where muns, muses, and FCs that are below 21 or problematic. If you notice one of mine is problematic, please let me know via ask or DM with a link to your source. I don't keep up with celebrities personal lives and assure you it wasn't intentional.

TWO . DO NOT like/reblog the musings unless your blog was tagged. This is not a resource blog. I spend hours curating my aesthetics and posts, you can click the source link to get to the place I found it. Note: I post a lot of musings because it helps me process my characters and plots or celebrate my ships. I will say in the tag what you can blacklist to keep it off your dash.

THREE . Stop at 2 replies per day. You should utilize queue to interact with me. I am a weekend RPer because of my career. I do not want instant replying partners or spamming partners. If we're both online and want rapid back and forth that's a conversation we can have for a specific thread having an exception to this rule or a day or two exception to this rule.

FOUR . Place graphics at the bottom of your reply. This is my only formatting specific rule beyond the usual (cut posts, no large gifs). I make my font smaller, use italics to indicate using another language, and small/medium/icons for gifs. No gifs are used once a thread turns spicy.

FIVE . Read the tags, use the tags, don't get us banned! I'll DM you if you're using a tag that will get us blacklisted by the hellsite. I won't even draft it until it's removed. If I tell you to not match length but our threads keep turning into sagas I may DM that it's too much for me to keep up with. If I haven't replied, check the thread tracker or the last reply's tags. I'm not big on DMs and may have left a note there for you.

SIX . I reserve the right to drop threads or block blogs. Just as you and any other writer does, if it's not working out I'll give both of us 2 months to reply before the thread is considered dropped for taking too long. I will not pick it back up as I have recall issues and will not re-read threads over and over because you push the two month rule over and over. Repeatedly dropping threads, especially if you're perpetually dropping my girls, is going to result in a soft or full block. I won't require a one for one ratio in our threads, but I also won't take on a bunch of mf and ff threads with an all female blog.

If you want to write with me, you must like or comment to this pinned post as your acknowledgement you read my rules. I'll then go to your blog and read/re-read your own. My job and my health (physically in multi-organ failure but in remission from cancer and mental with depression and anxiety, PTSD, and OCD) keep me very busy and sometimes debilitated. I'm unlikely to respond to DMs unless we've been writing together for a long while. Mostly, I just feel like I'm bothering people. Same goes for responding on Discord (which I don't RP on and it's blocked at work anyways) and texts or asks. My additional links are available below:

Hello writers! I'm Natty (34, she/her) and welcome to my multi-muse/multi-verse indie RP blog. I am selective and slow to reply. There will be crime, smut, and other triggering content on this blog, but I use "trigger tw" and "smut" for tags fairly consistently. Nevertheless, I will not interact with blogs, muses, or faceclaims of anyone under 21. Thank you in advance for being patient with me. Have my rules:

My opens are open forever! but I do need to take the legacy opens down and re-post in the new editor. If you want to reply one of those older legacy starters just make a new post and @ me with a 'continued from here' link.

Do not reblog the musings unless I tagged you on the post. If you want to use it you can reblog from the source. If there’s no source linked then copy the image URL. Again, if you’re not the @ and you like or reblog it, then I will block you.

This is supposed to be fun and my mental and physical health, family, and career will always come first. I am slow and if that’s a problem, then that’s your problem. I work insane hours and I'm in and out of the doctors as I recently entered remission for cancer and have multiple vital organs seriously damaged. Some days off work I just need to rest physically and mentally. I'm mostly just a Friday/Saturday writer.

I will drop threads with writers that use me for my males. While it’s painfully obvious that I heavily prefer my male muses, please consider that I have females literally right there looking for countless types of connections too. I’m not solely here for the smut, GASP. There is no faster way to get ghosted than to repeatedly reply to my male opens while letting my female threads go unreplied for months/until they hit the 2 month drop point.

I have severe anxiety and mega-para threads stress me tf out. I’ll write what I can, when I can, as the muse for a reply hits on the weekends, but I also have to acknowledge that I have a lot of threads and giant replies stress me out and are not fair to the other writers, so they aren’t going to take priority and may be dropped. Thank you for understanding, especially those of you that tell me it’s okay to not to match length.

Formatting isn't that big of a deal here. I prefer small font and medium or icon gifs, and only reply to reblogs using the new editor. If you only have large gifs of your faceclaim, it's okay to not use gifs in your replies. Even I have a few muses without gifs. Simply put, I ask that you cut posts and move the plot forward in your reply. If you repeatedly insta-reply and you aren't moving the plot anywhere, I'm going to lose interest and drop the thread. Rate and order of replies does not equate to interest in a thread. This is a space of QUALITY not quantity.

Temporary reply rule: Please do not post more than 4 replies in a 24 hour window if we have 10+ active threads.

Be well + Be kind 💙 Natty
