rules
AS OF 11/7/2013: YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE MY ARTWORK WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. IF PEOPLE CONTINUE TO USE MY ARTWORK WITHOUT PERMISSION AND WITHOUT CREDITING ME, I WILL BEGIN WATERMARKING ALL OF MY ARTWORK AND DELETE PAST WORKS FROM TUMBLR.
Seeking a Roleplay
There are number of ways to get in touch with me if you want to rp with my Eric. I accept inbox rps and tagged threads, and will accept spontaneous ones — with some exceptions. As of 10/26/2013 I will not be accepting informally written rps.
All submissions, asks, and threads should be written in formal, third person language. For example:
Acceptable:
Eric walked down the street late at night.
Not acceptable:
-walks down the street late at night-
(walks down the street late at night)
*walks down the street late at night*
So on.
Actions are not an acceptable way to rp with Eric. I will ignore any requests for rp in this regard. I reserve this right. Period.
If you are an original character (based off of Kuroshitsuji) with an assumed relationship with Eric, you must contact me before beginning an rp. Just because you have created a character that has an assumed relationship with him does not mean that I will honor it. It depends entirely upon how well the character is developed, whether or not it is believable based off of what we know about Eric Slingby (which is, admittedly, very little), and whether or not I have any interest in it. Long lost siblings, lovers, twins, and so on are out of the question.
Things to keep in mind while contacting me:
I am not a multi-ship blog. I have only one ship with Eric, and he has already found his ‘official’ other half. Please do not seek any sort of current romantic relationship with him. If you’d like to plot a bit and have him as a past love interest for your character, we can certainly talk about it. But otherwise, Eric is not open to any romantic prospects. Also, keep in mind that if you are only contacting me for a romantic plot, I will not be responding.
Length and Punctuality
We all have lives outside of Tumblr. Sometimes you won’t be feeling up to responding right away, and that’s okay! Please understand that if I don’t respond to a thread right away, that I’ve either gotten too busy to respond, missed the reply, or have forgotten about it and need prodding. If it’s been a week or so and I haven’t responded, chances are I need prodding.
I hardly ever drop threads. Keep this in mind. Sometimes I take longer to respond because I’m trying to give you a thoughtful response. If it has been longer than a month since I have responded, feel free to contact me and inquire about it. Otherwise, please let me take my time. I want to give you the best possible response and that takes time.
I receive a lot of asks and prompts. If I don’t get to yours, don’t fret. Simply resend it or ask about it. I might have overlooked it. Or I might be working on it. Feel free to ask about it. Communication is key.
Length of posts isn’t a big issue to me. So long as you give me enough content to go off of, I’ll be content. All that I ask is that you don’t give me empty responses that there is just absolutely nothing to work off of. Your post could be 10,000 words long, and still have nothing worth while happen. If you’re going to rp with me, I ask that you focus on content above all.
No Means No
If I say no to something, I mean it. Simple as that. If you ask for a ship/smut and my response is no, kindly leave it at that. If I’ve said no to something and you keep pushing me to do what you want, I reserve the right to ignore your messages. Please understand that it’s really frustrating to have to repeat myself over and over again about these things.
Breaking the Fourth Wall
My Eric is not aware of a mun. For simple asks, it’s okay to be a little out of character if you like, but please do not break the fourth wall if we writing back and forth. In other words, do not use the word ‘mun’ at all in the post itself. Out of character notes are fine, and tagging your out of character thoughts is totally acceptable.
NSFW
Sometimes, Eric’s page will be NSFW. I reblog a lot of stuff that is relevant to his interests, and you can imagine what that entails. I will accept rps that are nsfw, with the exception of smut. In the life of a shinigami, death and violence are inescapable. Naturally, I will pursue these kinds of rps. If you’re not comfortable with that, please let me know.
Communication Out of Character
I am always thrilled to receive out of character asks, messages, and mail. If you want to chat outside of tumblr (or on it, using XIM or Babblr), please let me know! I would be happy to provide you with my contact information. Methods of contact: AIM and Skype/MSN.
Follow-backs and Unfollowing
If I am unfollowed by you, I will unfollow you in return.
If you are rude to me, I reserve the right to unfollow you.
I will not follow-back personal blogs.
Personal blogs, however, may follow me and interact with me.
If I unfollow you, don’t assume it was intentional. Sometimes, Tumblr (especially when I’m mobile) feels the need to unfollow people. I’ve had a load of misunderstandings this way.
Asks and Submissions
I am human. Sometimes, I will receive asks that are rude or misplaced, or perhaps make me feel not so great about myself. I reserve the right to react to these things accordingly. If you give me attitude, show little to no understanding about my reaction — or make a snarky comment about my ovaries (excuse you, I have one)— I reserve the right to immediately unfollow you.
Asks maybe requests for rps, questions about the character, requests for information about the mun or ways to contact the mun outside of Tumblr. I will, in fact, message back and forth through asks or fanmail.
Submissions are accepted! I will post anything you decide to submit! And I’ll probably love you forever if you decide to submit anything at all.
Writing
I roleplay for content. My writing sometimes takes longer than most. If you choose to rp with me, you are accepting the fact that I will not always respond quickly but, however, will always give you quality to look forward to. If I feel, by any stretch, that your quality of writing is not interesting (that’s not to say you’re not a good writer, but the plot and content of the rp is going nowhere) I reserve the right to drop the roleplay without warning.
If something I’ve written doesn’t make sense, please contact me for clarification.
