@ganymede said in Let's talk about TS.:

1. Set boundaries: You have limits. Declare your limits.
2. Set clear boundaries: Declare them again. Be specific. Everything from "no anal sex" to "i really hate pregnancy sex."
3. Then set expectations: How often do you want TS? Is it a garnish or the main course when you come online? (Yes, double-entendre there, har har, GTFO.)
4. Then discuss what you like: Do you prefer the grinding, descriptive, purple-prose TS, or the light-hearted, fun-having TS that leads to injuries and escapades?
   Outside of this triumvirate, there are my personal lines:
5. Never give out personal information.
6. Never talk about RL sex partners, past or current.
7. Never agree to chat, swap pics, or otherwise interact away from the MUSH of this forum.

These are very, very important to bring up: setting up clear boundaries, set expectations and what you like and keep enforcing them. People need to speak up and respect each other's wishes. Problems arise when folks remain silent or the person doesn't respect the other's preference.

The very best TS experience I had is when someone asked me what was my preference and what was off limits before we scened. Then vice versa.

@haven

My characters are usually extroverts with high social skills. Usually, they are in some type of role that requires a sociable character so cops, religious figures, or strippers are always my go-to professions. It's usually a variation of those three.

I cannot help being sarcastic, it will always come out. I usually take a look at what's currently underrepresented and try to gain inspiration from that. But mostly they are characters always striving for something be it wisdom or improvement of others/things. I always try to have my characters visibly grow from their original concept. So being dumb and making mistakes is what I live for in RP.

@sunny It took me a while to work out a concept based on what is both interesting to myself and needed. Folks are hella friendly and they'll brainstorm with you.

Usually a month then after that gloves off.

@cupcake Done.

He's freakin cute.

New Breaking Point: Suddenly becoming someone's therapist after meeting them once and they have to share/inform you of all the bad things going on in their life. I'm generally a sociable happy/sarcastic person. I babble a lot so I probably bring this on my self by seeming to nice. I'm going to have to toughin up and be more standoffish apprently to curb that shit.

I hope this takes off. Got fingers crossed and shit.

Are there training classes in how to offer hot TS?

oh no.

Most of the ones I have are already mentioned, especially in regards to TS and the pressures to have it regularly.

Another is rp with the person is nothing but romance. They won't budge in any other direction. That's a pass.

Fuck yeah is definitely when characters are portrayed with short comings. I don't mean flaws like a missing eye or leg. I'm talking about the imperfect people and they play up their low stats over their above average stats. I just have to be their friend. And I'll probably stalk them. No shame.

I also agree with the bouncing back, feels good when you suddenly lose track of time cause you've been going back and forth with someone far longer than you idealy planned on rp'ing. Then call out sick to work. Again no shame.

edit: Too much modern slang in a historical setting.

Anyone else look back on previous games hosted on wikidot to see what previous partners/handles are currently playing in when you've lost communication with them?

That's how I find some games.

@rucket I'd like to do that, yeah.

I'll help organize the wiki if that's allowed?

Nice hairpin battle.

Even though this mutha fucka killed my other turtle dude, I still love him. I love the way he greets me in the morning by splashing water out of his tank until I feed him. I love watching him chase bubbles from the air stone. Little shit.

@surreality You just inspired me!

I've been trying to do the purple prosey stuff, I'm not good at being that bad. Just thought this up:

Here's a tall well-traveled man flaunting an impressive mish-mash of various cultures in his persona. He's wearing a bright pink skin tight t-shirt that leaves no one guessing to his handsomely well-defined physique. His intentions are made obvious to any woman that catches his gaze, bold black block lettering across this chest reads 'First Class Seat' with a large arrow pointing down at the lip licking worthy bulge. 'How he managed to stuff all that vigor and prowess into a pair of skin painted blue jeans' is a question raised from every woman's eyes that looks. His tone is loud and direct, words passing through juicy thick lips hints to a temporary Haitian accent. When questioned for identification he mournfully retrieves a passport lipstick kisses stamped on every page but the last.
