✶ ⁞ plotting。
when we are plotting, I would love it if you could also come up with ideas and not only one-sided from me, and make sure we both can work on the plot together and also make sure everything is with consent, friends. I really love plotting and can get very enthusiastic about ideas. but just know that if I ever suggest something you're not comfortable with, just say no and we can come up with something that suits us better. also, please please no god-modding. that means don't write my character without my consent, don't change our plot without my consent.

✶ ⁞ writing styles。
I tend to write in third pov, multi paragraphs as well. sometimes it can be lengthy and I don't think I can write such a novella lol but I often mirror my partner's and try to match up with the lengths as I am considering the efforts my partner's gave me with their replies.

✶ ⁞ activity, replies & poking。
I am quite active but also because I'm working, it depends and sometimes I couldn't check on my replies at the moment you guys sent it, so I am taking my time with it. my replies can be varies at times. there's a time I would be lazy and doesn't do any replies at all, but I love going to chat in the room. so please don't think I'm ignoring you or whatever that because I just want to be in chat room, and not attending my replies yet. please do understand. I don't mind poking but please don't do that too often bc it might annoy me.

✶ ⁞ genres。
I preferred romance, drama, love triangles, angsts especially but some fluffy and cute plot are good with me also. I usually rp as male ( mostly svt especially wonwoo and mingyu )  and please do respect my faceclaims and be mindful of a  plot that can be triggering as well.

✶ ⁞ triggers。
some words like 'worship me', 'i am god', 'god' or any such religious things that don't make sense to me, please avoid it at all costs. let's be respectful with others beliefs and religions. I don't like it when you bring something like that to me especially when it comes to smut. it's totally a big no. if you do, I will not hesitate to block you.

✶ ⁞ nsfw。
I will try to avoid this at cost, but it depends I guess. I will only work on these kinds of genres with someone that I'm close with.

🌸 let's be friends and let's connect !
