A quick and dirty RP policy guide
Bold all that apply to you and your blog. Italics if you’re on the fence about something. Either reblog or repost. Feel free to add anything I may have missed in the appropriate category, or recategorize something that is in the wrong place!
Open to all
✓ Semi-selective
Selective
Highly selective
Exclusive
Only going to RP with mutals
✓ Indie
Affiliated with a group
Spoiler free
Spoilers tagged
((honestly I don’t think there’s any spoilers on this blog? The show is older than me so I don’t think “spoilers” would apply here? But if I ever rp with a fandom/character that involves spoilers from their newer material, I will tag it.))
Any fandom
✓ Most fandoms (list excluded ones here) as long as you’re willing to explain your fandom/universe to me and don’t expect me to watch/read the actual material, I am cool with it. But I’m not going to watch an entire show to be able to rp with someone.
Only fandoms I know (List some here?)
Only people in my fandom
✓ OCs
✓ OCs with no fandom ties
✓ OCs who are related to/know my character in their backstory ((related to my character would have to be discussed with me first. But if I don’t find your OC fits into my interpretation of my character, I am fine with doing crossovers so that they end up in the same universe.))
Only one version of any particular character
✓ People who have the same muse as me
✓ People who do not have a rules page ((I definitely prefer rules pages just to make sure that I don’t fuck up somehow))
Multimuse blogs (so long as I can understand what’s going on with your blog)
Only people in my RP group
✓ Indie RPers
When RPing, I like to use _______
✓ Paragraphs
✓ Shorter forms of text
*Action*
Icons
Gifs
Gif icons
Formatted text
Whatever my partner is using
✓ My own style regardless of my partner’s reply
(sorry I just don’t have enough gifs/icons and I don’t like using them. However, you are totally welcome to use them if you’d like. And same with formatting--as long as I can understand you/read it I don’t care.)
No one
Anyone
✓ Chemistry
✓ Select ships (TNG Picard is a captain and therefore I would find it very uncomfortable to ship him with someone who wasn’t a Commander or higher rank. Picard would never be in a relationship with an Ensign no matter what just because he would feel it’s wrong. The person in question would definitely have to be an equal (or slightly superior) in his eyes in order for it to even have a chance of working)
✓ OCs (But only with chemistry and the above conditions)
Others of my own muse
Crossovers with characters from different fandoms
Only one version of a particular character
My blog may contain ______ in it’s content
✓ Fluff
✓ Angst
✓ Gore
✓ Violence
Smut (In only very specific circumstances)
✓ Blood
✓ Torture
Shipping
✓ Death
✓ Dark humor
Cheating
Assault
I will follow ______ back
Everyone

Only people in my fandom
Every RP blog
✓ Only people I actively wish to RP with
✓ People who do not post a lot of OOC
✓ People whose posts I am comfortable with on my dashboard
