my cat just passed away an hour and a half ago, so... yeah. i just needed to post this.

i love my cat a lot

honestly i never check this thread but i'm gonna post because hi! i exist

honestly, i rarely make wanted ads for my characters. it's not that bad experiences have turned me off making them (though it is piss annoying when the person flakes and you have to start from the beginning all over again orz), just most of my characters are ones that don't lead to wanted ads. i usually end up making the only child, for example. or they end up with no significant figures in their history that i want as a character on-site.

when i do have a character i want played, i pitch the idea to my friends first and see if any of them are interested. usually, they are, because i have cool buddies 😎

but in the event that my friends aren't interested and i do have to make a public ad, i always go in with low expectations. i've seen people take my friends' ads and flake, and i've seen my friends be disappointed too many times. i always make sure that my character doesn't need the wanted ad filled; i always treat them as something that would be nice to have, but isn't necessary for my character.

beyond making my wanted ads as open as possible, i wouldn't hesitate to put a few requirements for the potential taker. for example, "you need to have been on the site for a few weeks before asking to take this ad." a few weeks will give me an idea of what that person is like, and plus it gets rid of people that poof within a week of joining :'D if someone is interested, i always make sure they pitch the idea to me first and i tell them if things work or not. if the idea doesn't work, i'll tell them and then it's back to the search for a taker.

in the event that the ad is taken, and the character ends up disappointing... i uh......... i guess i'll just suffer........... but seriously - you should talk to the person and say that it's not working out for you, no hard feelings. they can keep their character if they want, but because the plot isn't working out, it'd be better to drop it so that you can start a new search. as hard as it is to talk to someone about it, it's better for your health and sanity in the long run.

so yeah! that's how i deal with want ad troubles, though honestly i barely go near wanted ads because i prefer plotting with existing characters |D

god of war is fun but im bad at it

this occurred to me last night when i was trying to fall asleep but

it bothers me when people change aspects of the application. like, changing the colours of the application, or changing fonts, or adding in fields on the 'basic info' area. like, in the freeform bio section (if it's a freeform app), by all means do what you want, but keep it to that part of the app. don't go changing overall design aspects. there's a reason why the app is like that - especially with colours/fonts, since those are going to change with each skin so that it will match the rest of the site.

thankfully this has only rarely happened to me, but it does drive me bonkers x.x
