BOLD : applies to you. ITALICS : only applies to you sometimes. STRIKETHROUGH : does not apply to you. elaborate on any points you’d like with an *

TYPES OF ROLEPLAY / HOW I DO THREADS: I don’t. I just do whatever is on my dash when I'm online. mainly asks. I do little short things mostly. I do my threads on discord. long - running threads that slowly build upon the muses.

PLOTTING PREFERENCES: wing it. get a general idea ooc, run with it and plot further if need be. long expansive thought out arcs

TYPES OF THREADS I DO / PREFER: one - liners only. whatever dash shenanigans I’m online for. para or multi - para. literal novels 

REPLY SPEED FOR THREADS AND CONSISTENCY KEEPING THREADS: I lose threads all the time and usually get back to them. I tend to lose threads but please tell me if I have and I’ll reply. I drop threads pretty quickly. I'm really slow but I will get back to you. I reply on a schedule / queue. I usually reply within a week. I reply every day. I reply almost instantly.

ROMANTIC OR SEXUAL SHIPS: I don’t do these ships. I'm not against them happening but it is not the main point of my blog. ships will have to be discussed a lot ooc. super chemistry based. I love doing ships, hmu I probably already ship it so just ask. I ship really quickly. autoship or ship within a few interactions. I mainly rp for the cute ship fluff or angsty smut.*

SMUT: I do not do smut at all. I'm very selective about it. I only do it on a separate blog / on discord. I mainly only do asks relating to nsfw headcanons on Sundays. I write it a medium amount. I write it all the time and love to. I am comfortable with foreplay and fade - to - blacks (for the comfort of my writing partner) but nothing further.*

*(For both shipping and smut: Ships can happen on this blog (Shireen having a boyfriend or girlfriend could be sweet), but not smut as Shireen is underage. Mun does do shipping and smut roleplay with adult muses, and you might see this on other blogs.)

ACTIVE HOURS: mornings, 8 – 10. midday, 11 – 1. afternoon, 2 – 5. evenings, 6 – 8. night, 9 – 12. ungodly hours of the day, 1 – onwards.*

*(Tends to be in the evenings for weekdays then at all hours over weekends/holidays.)

ACTIVITY SCHEDULE: super slow and sporadic, like once a month or so. slow and sporadic, week - long gaps between activity. bi - weekly ish. weekly activity. daily activity. I'm online nearly all the time. (on mobile)

STARTERS: I don’t do starter calls. I want to do starter calls but often don’t have time. I do selective calls. I don’t do calls but always feel free to ask me for one. I post calls rarely, regularly, often.

AUS: I don’t do aus. my blog is an au but outside of that I don’t do them. I sometimes do them but only with a lot of plotting. I have a couple of aus already, feel free to request them. I have aus coming out of my ears, please interact with them. I love making aus, hmu to plot if you think of one. there are some aus I won’t do.

CROSSOVERS: I don’t do crossovers. I'm selective with crossovers. I love crossovers.

I’m happy to rp with canon muses and OCs alike :-)

@sparringett​ thank you 💛💛​

2. Why do you write fanfiction?

I love stories, always loved to invent them for characters I’d see on tv and read about in books. I even wrote fanfic for my best friend in school before I knew what fanfic was and then I found out other people like to do that too so I had to keep doing it. 

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

I honestly don’t know. I guess mine is very self-indulgent? I don’t mean that in a bad way. I love that fanfic lets me do that. I love that I get to write 20K words of my favorite character internal dialogue and that there are people out there that actually want to read that. 

5. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

my latest fanfic, Important Nothings, took a lot of me to write. I’m most proud of it atm.

17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for.

idk, omegaverse maybe. I don’t like to read it so I guess I wouldn’t write it. also period drama AUs, mainly because I don’t know how to write them lol

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

I don’t think I ever wrote anything too wild lol 

23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

I can’t do prompt or challenges at all. writing in english can be a little tedious to me so I have to really like the idea and have it haunt me for a while to write it. completely independent ideas tend to be that for me.

34. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.

I really love the part in Within Me Trembles the Light when Arthur gains Merlin’s confidence in a single exchange the first night they meet. I love how easily I could write their banter and how I turned it into one of their moments, even thought they’ve just met. 

I’m very found of this little bit:

“She would've hated it,” Arthur murmured to his pillow.

A long pause. “Who?” Merlin asked softly, curious.

“My mother,” Arthur hesitated for a moment before half opening his eyes to look at Merlin’s dark figure, now fully cast in shadow, leaning over him as his hand was reaching for the sheets still pushed aside to pull them over Arthur, he supposed. “I never knew her, you know, but she wouldn’t have approved. I know she wouldn’t.”

Merlin gently pulled the sheets on top of Arthur at that and his voice was a lot closer when he spoke next. “You should sleep, my lord.” There it was again, the gentle secretive tone again, like he knew something Arthur didn’t.

Arthur was suddenly too tired, the weight of everything that happened that night finally pulling him into sleep and he didn’t feel like fighting it anymore.

“You can't tell me what to do, Merlin.”

BASICS: name alias: Sparringett (personal blog here) age: 27 preferred pronouns: He/Him sexuality: Bisexual  zodiac sign: Libra taken or single: Taken

three facts: 1. I actually have a pet snake; a royal python called Gaia.  2. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the harp. I play classical and acoustic guitar currently, and used to be part of a quartet.  3. I’m learning Arabic, slowly. I’m married into a family of Libyans.

EXPERIENCE: how long (months/years?): I starting writing from about 6 years of age, fanficcing at 14, and Tumblr/LJ rping when I was 18. how’d you start: RPing? Off the back of editing a K/S fanvid that proved quite popular in the fandom, I fancied writing some Kirk/Spock smut. I tracked down some writers of K/S fics I’d enjoyed reading and basically popped them the question. I played Kirk, if you were wondering ;) platforms you’ve used: Livejournal, Tumblr and Skype (reluctantly - I don’t tend to favour skype rp as it’s usually too chatsy for me) worst experience: Some insecure trans person having a rant at me for speaking out of turn because I apparently have no idea what gender dysphoria feels like. Little fucker didn’t realise they were preaching to the choir. best experience: Building RP verses with a whole group of other, able-minded and creative writers. Expanding Raoul Silva and his island!verse has been a highlight on Tumblr for me. 

MUSE PREFERENCES (about my own?): female or male: Male, I only have one female muse original or canon: Both, although my most popular tend to be canon muses. Either way, I’ll twist the canon muse to give my own take on them. favourite face: I’m enjoying Christian Coulson’s face for my Tom Riddle muse when he’s a bit older. Other than that, Tiago is always easy on the eyes :) least favourite face: Don’t really like Anabel’s face claim, but that is partly intentional. He’s an OC that hates his own skin.  multi or single: Multi. I have 3 active muses, 1 semi-active, and about 3 that are still playing games in my head but haven’t been unleashed yet.
