On the subject of folk asking for telegram/discord
2 years ago
Sic transit gloria mundi. Acta Est Fabula, Plaudite
Just wanting to put something of a FYI out there to folk who ask if they can talk to me on discord/telegram (Particularly since its going to be easier to find folk on discord thanks to the name change and being able add them as friends without prior consent)
I love to meet new folk, I really do! Its great fun to make connections in the fandom and some of my closest friends in my life have been through it! Chatting, getting to know folk and becoming friends, all good fun!
However there has been an uptick of folk recently who want to add me and then ask for one thing only - Roleplay.
Now I am not against roleplay, but I really don't do it much these days due to various factors, most of them being busy doing other stuff. It has become apparent as of late though that this is the dominant reason I have had numerous folk reach out to me here on FA.
Forgetting that behind the character is a person, an individual, someone unique and ignoring all those factors in just wanting to roleplay with my character.
Therefore I want to make it crystal clear that if that is the ONLY reason you want to add me to telegram/discord - DONT. Save yours and myself the time and disappointment and find someone else,
However if you are adding me because you are interested in chatting, getting to know each other and enjoy one anothers company - with potential roleplay happening in there, then by all means please reach out to chat, I'd love to get to know you!
I value genuine connections with folk, not vapid encounters.
If anyone does add me purely for the purpose of roleplay then I shall be removing you. You have been warned.

so it's better to talk and know than to always rp

On another note, sorry for not being on as much in the past. I hope you are doing well. :)
