1: Why did you start role playing?
[ Because I like to write, mostly! And I think roleplaying’s specifically really neat because it’s almost like writing a story in rounds… and so it’s a collaborative effort between you and at least one other person. You’re writing interactive stories with people all around the world. How awesome is that? ]
7: What is your preferred roleplaying style and why? (semi para/para/mirror etc)
[ Definitely para. If it suits the character or a scenario, I can use colons (like if it’s a modern setting and the character is typing out a text message or being taken down on a transcript), but I pretty much have always just used paragraph form. I don’t really like using asterisks for actions, but I don’t really mind if someone else uses them while we’re roleplaying. /shrugshrug ]
8: If you knew your muse in RL would you be friends or enemies?
[ That… is actually an excellent question. ;; Something tells me we’d probably snark at each other and have witty insult battles… and then we’d sit around and laugh at people from behind our fans. ]
9: Is there a certain writing style or colloquialisms you have to use for you muse that changes from your own?
[ …GOD I WISH I COULD SAY YES, BUT… I often use Shakespearean turns of phrase in my daily conversations. /distant gaze/ I’ve been a Shakespeare scholar since I was very young, so talking and/or writing like this is… almost natural by this point. I’m from a very learned household with another literature major for a sister, and both my folks are Shakespeare buffs. So we sometimes all sit around and basically only talk like Rufus for several hours. ]
