Please, I beg you - actually read this appeal before randomly pimping something to me. I'd rather have no response than several, "This isn't what you're looking for, but you might try xyz . . .." I am looking for something very special, very specific, and yes, I know my chances are slim to none, but I'm holding out for a good fit.
Having said that, if you like to write your character(s) against a decently canon Severus Snape, please read on!
Private Story Line (psl)
I've been advertising/looking for a while now, and though I enjoy writing Severus and can usually pair him with just about anyone, I now have several het-pairing lines running. At this point, I'm only interested in finding a slow-building Snupin or Snarry story line.
In a private-storyline scenario, I would feel the need for a "trial period" to make sure we both find a nice mesh of writing style and comfort level. I don't appreciate writing with someone who makes me 'drive' the story without active participation, nor do I play well with someone who wants to dictate every action. Serious-writers-only, please. Know your basic grammar, punctuation, paragraph breaks, etc.
I would still prefer post-DH starting place for a psl.
Interested persons must be able/willing/comfortable to write adult content if/when our characters develop to that point, but if you're looking to jump into a porn-without-plot scenario, I'm not the writer for you.
I need someone who has time to give replies at least 3-4 times per week, preferably daily. I don't sit at my computer 24/7 and I know there will always be real-life things that interfere with writing, but less than that and the story line grows 'stale' for me.
RPG Search:
I am looking for a home for post-DH Severus Snape.
My preference would be a relatively canon/EWE type game with mature players and mods who know how to guide plots and screen players. I prefer to play with people for whom role-play is a means to work on writing skills and character development.
I have no objections to Original Characters in a game. I won't play one myself, but I like the richness to the world that can be provided by their presence. However, only if the game is well-administrated and the OC's are strictly screened for excessive-Sue/Stu tendencies.
Preference would be given to games where no player 'runs' more than two to three characters. When people have a full 'stable' of characters, none of them gets fully developed, IMO.
I can write Snape in the classroom, dealing with the Order, interacting with the world at large, skulking amongst fellow Death Eaters, etc.
I will be able and willing to submit a thorough application for Mod approval. Games are better if well administrated, IMO. I would rather be thoroughly vetted, myself and know that the other players are likewise, than to be readily admitted to a game just because you 'need' a Snape and find myself in a poor fit.
My knowledge and understanding of book-canon borders on frighteningly OCD and I strive at all times to keep Snape true to character as written while (hopefully) giving him room to develop post-war.
The ideal game would have a generous handful of dedicated players who take their writing and the 'lives' of their characters seriously. I would be happiest writing in a game with a mix of ages of characters. Snape gets dull to play if the only interaction we get is among the dunderheaded children consuming the oxygen in his classroom. I prefer thread-style gaming, though have also participated in message-board games. I'm not interested in a game that is run solely by Instant-Messenger.
Admins: - the bulk of my Snape persona and application is in the 'user info' section of this journal, though I would edit/modify accordingly to fit the plot of the right game. Please at least skim it over before rec'ing your game - save us both some time and hassle. If you don't like my portrayal of Snape, please don't pimp your game to me.
