Hello fellow RPGateway members~!! My name's Mousie, and I hail from the small downunder country of Australia. I've been a rabid writer since I was very little - [hell, I think I remember making my name in Playdough when I was a little kid, and then making a up a little ditty for it] - and also a great fan of poetry and good lyrics. I'm one of those die hard writing critics; grammar, spelling, redundancies, Mary Sues, plot technicalities, etcetera, etcetera, all mean a lot to me. That, sure, in part could be because of years of torturous English teachers who drained every last little bit of faith out of me. Then, at the end of our primary school years together, I got a big fat gold star and a 'Keep it up, Chocolate Banana!* You're doing well!'
* name has been changed for privacy reasons
Things I don't like? Mary Sue. Gary Stu. Fancy pancy guesswork in a loose and elaborate adaptation of Twilight. Books that don't have the right footing in solid fact. RP posts that have been edited more than .. say ... ten time? Trust me, I had a partner in RP like this. It annoyed the hell outta me. I hate characters that keep flirting, but force your character to do all the work - what the hell is with that? If it was in real life, that guy who was chasing after the annoying yet sultry girl would most likely just give up, so why bother? And worse of all, I've said it before; Mary Sues.
Anyhow, moving on. I like all genres of roleplay and books. I must admit, I'm a sucker for romance, yes I am <3. Action genres are good too, as long as it's not all 'Bang! Pop! He died! Wow!' and so on. Fantasy + romance is the real kicker for me though. I also like a lot of contemporary novels, as long as it has a good plotline to tie it all together. Macabre stuff ... gets to me. I'm addicted to it. It's like a crack. Submissive/dominatrix relationships also intrigue me, and I have a fetish for sadists. Die hard gentlemen or next-door type characters intrigue me.
Mm. And to conclude, a list of random facts:
1. I <3 bunnies

7. Give me bread and a toaster, i'll give you a burnt down house

9. One of my hobbies is 'scissoring'
10. I tend to be called 'the personification of a sugar rush'
11. Pretty things are good

15. The only asian thing i DON'T possess is a kerokero plushie of sorts
16. I can't speak japanese for nuts
17. I used to think wasabi was a face cream
18. Rulers + Mousie = deadly little midget asian chick running around and threatening to saw your legs off
