i lose interest very fast if a prospective psl partner wants to talk the thread to death before we even start playing. a very basic idea, like where the thread's going to start and what relationship if any the characters are going to have is enough. if multiple paragraph pms keep coming and there's no threading, i stop responding and move on. i'm here to rp, not talk about it instead of doing it.

once the thread gets going, i'm happy to talk about it and what the characters are doing. but i want to see if it's fun to thread with the person first before i start investing a lot of time talking about the fandoms or whatever.
