an important note regarding respect & consent!
i am thrilled to see so many amazing and diverse characters interacting on the dash. the more, the merrier! i am also aware that more people often imply more different approaches to plotting and to roleplaying smut. this is why i am writing this note! i want everyone to feel safe. safe with their faceclaim, their character, their and their muse’s kinks and their creativity. we all approach smut rps differently. some people still want longer threads with angst and character development. some others want to go straight up to the fun and just jump all in. others like to tease more. it’s all fine! i am myself a mix of the three, and i love to see the variety. i also love the enthusiasm!
still, i think it’s important to remember something: it’s not because you like a certain kink or want a certain plot that your partner wants it too. sometimes, we change our minds in the middle of plotting because we feel uncomfortable and it’s okay! speak your mind! express your feelings! and respect both your limits and the other person’s. a little “hey, you’re good with that? wait, what are your anti-kinks or limits again?” or “i’m sorry i don’t feel like doing this plot anymore, wait this is taking a turn i was not expecting and i don’t like it” are essential. ask for consent if you’re not sure. i, myself, get very excited about certain things. if it was just of me, for example, veronica would walk naked around 24/7 and wait for someone to bang her. but i know this is not everybody’s cup of tea nor is it appropriate or realistic! so i don’t do that. this is an extreme and bad example, but you get the idea: sometimes what you like the most might put the other person in a weird position (no pun intended).
also! i didn’t ask to write about it on the application or on the introduction task, but respect the character whether they are submissive, dominant or switch or if they don’t do the whole power thing at all. don’t force a character and a player to write against their muse and their established storylines. again, for example, nikki will never top unless she wants to under very rare circumstances. so if you came to me with a thread where your character is submissive and wants a top and assumes nikki will be fine with that, i will have to decline the thread, drop it, or message you about it. it can happen that, while writing with a certain person, your character’s kinks evolve and or their habits change. always message your partner and ask if something is okay or not okay. consent is key, both in rp and in real life.

it is very important to stand on common ground and respect one another. if need be, contact me via the main. i will see what i can do to help you. if someone seems forceful or judgemental, come to me asap. i will ask for screenshots so i can get a better view of the situation, and i will do whatever i can to try and solve the issue. it happened in the previous edition of the roleplay and i tried to manage the situation as best as possible. as much as i want to be the friendly admin, i reserve myself the right to ask members to leave the group if they cause drama or discomfort. this is a safe place for kinks, for characters and, most importantly, for people. be respectful. be kind. be amazing. be inclusive. be open-minded.
