Obsess. Hunt. Manipulate. Repeat.
Gurl LOL the only reason I'm not RPing with you RIGHT NOW is because I literally have my plate full every time I post with Malhy--and we have two threads right now @_@
Geezus christ Gaia refugees can you help me to normalize "post sample" requests? I feel liek such a douchebag since it says "it's not that I don't trust you--actually that's exactly what it means but a post can tell me with 90% accuracy if you have what I'm looking for or my compatibility trust me bro and don't craft a post just for me just gimme one of your olds". Dx All these other things, character sheets, image pics, faceclaims, formatting--NONE OF IT MATTERS when I'm trying to figure you out, LEMME SEE YO WRITE FIRST AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED
There's a difference in asking for samples and asking for someone to put a code word into a response. Immensely different, actually--It's the same as if I were to ask someone to play baseball with me and they were in the major leagues and I was still playing whiffle ball in my back yard. There's a skill element involved. There's also the element of, say, if I were to ask someone to watch some TV with me and I just sat down with them without knowing their preferences; I might immediately go for Fox's Exorcist, and my TV buddy might be more on a MLP level. Yes, some of that can be inferred from a person's search thread, but actual writing style? Nope. Samples are important. I ask for them. Am I going to flip out if someone doesn't give them to me and force them to do it? Nope. I might try to still RP with them, but the likelihood that we'll fail soon into the RP goes up exponentially.
The way I ask for it is: please provide samples if you can, so that we can determine if our writing/RPing styles will be compatible. I will give you my own in return.
(Because if I just asked for someone's and didn't return with my own, that'd be arrogant as crap.)
PS. You didn't automatically assume I have a penis. Yay.
