My last one was real messy and people still get rather confused about things. So I hope by rewording and adding simpler rules will help those who are interested in roleplaying with me understands. I know some of my rules sound unfair, and you think I'm mean and stuff. but as long as you follow my rules and don't piss me off, we'll be good friends! So, here are the most important rules. If you even think about breaking these, I'll straight up ignore you.  


-You better not skim through this or else I’ll hunt you down and put you in a headlock. I REFUSE TO ROLEPLAY WITH ANYONE WHO ROLEPLAY WITH SCRIPT OR ONE LINERS. Paragraph or novel form only. I used to be cool with that occasional one liner since I understand the feeling of getting writer’s block but I think people misunderstand what I mean by think. They think it's cool to do it ALL the time. Now let me explain what I mean in paragraph form…. Since it seems like people don’t understand what it means. A paragraph is five sentences… basic English class, right? So that mean, I expect five sentences or more.(Or five lines or more) Please don't half-ass it as well with five short and simple sentences. Paragraph form is easier than what it looks like, fun really.

-Here's an example of a length I want. I like it when our characters talk about the other's appearance. Keeps me up a little more. 

NextCookieMonster said the following:

Lisa was currently laying on her bed of her room of the apartment that was slightly off campus from the college that she and her best friend attended. On her green and black comforter, three English books, a literature book, a thick criminal justice book, three smaller books that were readings for her literature course, and a large business book scattered along with spirals, folders, and pens. The female with dark brown wavy hair sighed as she was reading her assignments from the laptop in her lap. Even though it was snowing and three below outside, she was wearing a simple white camisole and black basketball shorts. She was a toned, matured woman at the age of twenty-one in her junior year of college as she had gotten a year behind due to her father's cancer. Her 34B breasts and flat stomach gave her top a nice curved look while her 40 inch hips, large bubble butt, and thick thighs were easily seen in the shorts, especially when she walks. Her fair skinned hand gently pushed her blue framed glasses back up her face as her green eyes scanned her computer. Lisa was not a super tall girl but her 5'6" stature was still nice with her curves. Her room was full of her honor roll recognitions from high school and earlier in college, and famous artwork as they were interesting to her. She moved her laptop from her lap as she got up and headed to the kitchen, getting ready to make herself another glass of hot cocoa to study with while she waited on her friend to return so she could change clothes and walk to the food court together. 


Jason was on his way back from his long baseball practice as the season was going to start as soon as the weather warmed up. There was still a few inches of the snow on the field so the team would get together to work out and then to work on his pitches and such. He was a 6'3" tall male of about 180 pounds of pure muscle with toned arms, chest, legs, and even a nice baseball butt from playing since he was about five for little leagues along with tanned skin that was kissed by the sun and an accent to die for. He was 22 in his senior year but he had another year so he could continue playing baseball and to be with his friend that he's helped through the years, especially with her father getting cancer and such. The male had transferred for Scotland while he was in high school through a program which was when he met Lisa, his now best friend that he hoped one day would be more. His honey brown hair that he styled up some was slightly damp from the shower he had taken while at the gym as he didn't want to walk into the apartment smelling like a locker room. God he hated that. His green eyes peered at the door as he walked through the halls, looking for the right room. He had now dressed into a pair of dark sweatpants that showed his ass off nearly as well as his baseball pants while he was in a lighter gray hoodie. He was starving but wanted to see what Lisa wanted to do before he went to eat. His hand pulled his keys from his pocket as he approached the correct door before unlocking it as it was an automatically locking door. "Hello Lisa." he spoke softly for her as he noticed her in the kitchen making some hot cocoa. "How's your homework goin'? I have a huge test in the mornin' in my Calculus III course..." the male's accent coming through much heavier as he was tired and wasn't able to hide it as much. 


-If you think you're gonna make me be a male the whole time we RP, then I'm the wrong person for you. I'm a female. I wanna play my own gender once in a while. I don't mind being male, but I don't wanna do it the whole time. Like if we quit a role play for some reason, me being fem and you male, then we'd do another one, with the roles switched. Does that make sense?

-I didn't think this would be an issue, but if you're not comfortable with me having diverse characters, then you gotta press the back button. I have characters of most races/ethnicities, gender, religion. I have characters from different sexualities but unfortunately I have yet to feature all sexualities. So you have to be comfortable with me having diverse characters. Am I saying you have to use a character that's not a cisgender, straight, white guy? No. You can choose whoever you'd like. But you gotta be open minded with this type of stuff. (Effective 4/2/17)

-My speed of replies depends on how busy I am outside of the internet. I reply one a day, sometimes I reply multiple times. But if you EVER, rush me, or question me about how fast I am replying, I will end you. I will ignore you. I don't question how fast you reply, so don't question me. That drives me up the wall and back down. I don't sit on my ass waiting for replies.


-I think, this is a hard rule to follow and it happens to be another important rule. This rule sort of branches from both rule one and two. Be fair in the amount of lines you send back to me. If I send you a good length paragraph then I expect a decent paragraph in return… more or less. For sure I will be fair in lines, so give me the same respect. I will give you a warning but three strikes and you're out!


-As long as your character isn't a Mary Sue/Gary Stu or overly weird then your character is cool. Little bits of a Mary Sue/Gary Stu or weirdness is okay in characters though. No character is perfect. What I consider a Mary Sue/Gary Stu is a character that is over power with no weakness to counter it, A character with an overly dramatic past, a character that is apparently hella gorgeous, ect. I’m sure you all know what a Sue is. Very rarely do I back out of a roleplay because a character is “too weird”. But it has happen. Weird as in furries, characters used for the darker (and gross) fetishes, ponies, and so on. Doesn't mean I find them weird or I hate them, I just sort of go “uh?” Actually, I like everyone characters. It’s their babies, I know and they are precious to each person. I just can’t take them seriously (Wow, I sound like a Mad meanie. ^^;)

-To go under this is that you don’t control my character (action, past, or emotion) and I don’t control yours (I would never in the first place. Basic roleplay etiquette)

-If you know you're busy with real like stuff, please don't ask to roleplay. Because chances are that you will drop the roleplay anyway. Don't make me be the barrier of your real life situations. (added as of 9/19/16)


-Overall, I am not a grammar nazi. I’m not going to kill you for not using that apostrophe or misspelling that one word. I understand English isn’t the first language for everyone. As long as I can read and I can understand what you mean, I say you're good. So, try not to use text talk in roleplay (unless we are talking out of character). Just 'cause I'm a teenager, doesn't mean I'm into that text talk stuff.

--This is a mini list of all the things I don’t do and what I hate. These are the things that will most likely end our roleplay or make it impossible. 

Don’ts-

-Bestiality
-Yaoi
-Furries
-Ponies
-Antros
-Fetishes (gross and dark ones)
-Vore
-Puking
-Sitting
-Farting
-Giant/Giantess
-Tiny people
-Naga
-Non-Humans
-Roleplaying a canon character

Hate-

-You not reading the rules
-Ignoring what I wrote
-Breaking rules one, two, and three
-Little to no deatils
-Sending me a message to start a roleplay with just a “Hi” Or “I wnt to rp” (First Impressions!)


-Here's The opposite of the last rule, simple as that. Just because I list something I love, it’s just a preference. You don’t need to follow with it but if you have a preference too, tell me. I’ll try to fulfill it… as long as it’s not weird….

Do's

-Age difference (I don’t want to exactly say “pedophilia” but age difference like a 16 year old and a 26 year old)
-Yuri (Usually depends on my mood)
-Anything you suggest (as long as it isn’t a don’t or hate… or too weird)
-OCs


Loves

-ROMANCE
-Deatils, and lots of it.
-Cursing (if you couldn’t tell)
-SUGGESTED sexual actions (kissing, hugging, holding hands and all those cute couple stuff are okay)
-Lemon/spice/smut/18+ roleplays 
-Spice of Life




-I roleplay in notes, email(michaanimaa@gmail.com), and skype (my skype is strawberrytops1) I don’t use any instant messenger or DA chat.



-I understand that people can be busy but please don’t just randomly just drop me without a warning. I’ll do the same. I won’t ask any questions. To be honest, I’ll only probably drop a roleplay if A) You broke a rule or B) The roleplay started to get boring. (I’ll try to tell the other person if I feel the roleplay is getting boring, but I feel really bad when I do)


-I enjoy roleplaying original plots and OCs. I don't watch much TV, and if I like a certain show, I might lose interest from time to time, so I don't really do fandoms that much.

-HAVE FUN!!

This is what roleplay rules should look like, detailed and getting straight to the point! Great job. ^^ Also I was wondering if maybe you'd like to roleplay? I make more male than female characters (despite being a girl XD) and I have a few humans that can work. Just figured I'd comment before sending you a note just to see first if you'd be interested. ^^
