Alias: None lately, except for Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Lay Onna Pile Of Origami the Third. But you can call me Dot.
Contact: The best way to catch me is by e-mail (garnet . sunrise @ gmail . com), since I always have gmail open and I check it right away if I'm at the computer. I'm nearly always on AIM, but I only give out the name to family, friends, and people in my games. If you want it, feel free to ask; chances are you're not one of the people I don't want to have it.
Age: Twenty-five.
Location: Texas, so firmly in CST/CDT.
Experience: RP in general, since 1999. Journal based, since 2005. I started out on AOL in chats, IMs, and message boards. I spent many years there before taking a break. After my break, I did some IM-based private SL with a friend, then eventually joined the RP world on greatestjournal. I dabbled a bit in livejournal RPGs, but GJ was my primary RP home from summer '05 until late '07, when the journal-RP world was fractured by GJ's decline, at which point I moved to IJ. You can find a comprehensive list of all of my journal-based characters and the major characters from my AOL days here. I also have a wiki with pages for every game and every character here.
Prefers: Canon-based or AU Harry Potter; MWPP-era or post-war trio-era, but will give future-era or Riddle-era a try occasionally; original games with some kind of unique thing about them.
Does like: Characters with little canon attached; original characters; females, though I do occasionally play males; three-dimensional characters; realistic playing out of relationships; generally nice or good-aligned characters; characters who stretch or break stereotypes; "broken" characters.
Doesn't like: Smut games; plain old high school games; genderswap games; celebrity games; cardboard characters; ZOMG EVIL I EAT BABIES FOR BREAKFAST characters.
Favorite characters: With regards to canon characters in the HP fandom, my two absolute favorites are Marlene McKinnon and Alice Longbottom. I play both as Gryffindors, though the year they're in varies. However, I mostly play original characters or parents of trio-era kids, or other characters with little canon attached.
What's here: Just about anything and everything related to my characters. Occasionally I'll be tagged for a meme about me, which I'll go ahead and do here, but I try to keep my own personal life separate and posted on my friends-locked livejournal, except in cases where my RL will be affecting my RP world. Occasionally I'll post snippets from chats or conversations.
