Some Clarification . . .

[PepsiWhirda]

Not sure if this needs more clarification, but maybe an example of something actually happening on the site now would help.

Nyx and I are the only two people posting in Isolation (The Tangled Green), so we go about it by PMing each other our ideas, plans, etc..., and also communicating a lot about how our characters would behave in the present situation. We've each taken some minor liberties in our posts when we were unsure, but they've worked out due to reading over past posts by each character and focusing more on our own character's perspective with brief mentions of what our counterpart is doing.

So, sort of what Nanoha said. There's a PM functionality on the site, and no one expects you to rapid-fire off posts without communicating first. I've found (so far) those two factors make any issues with misrepresentation negligible at worst, nonexistent at best.

Plus, it's all in good fun. I've found myself working other people's perceptions of Whirda into the character because they were unique and interesting, instead of forcing my idea of her down my own gullet. It's made her a little less "bad ass pragmatist battle mage who don't play by nobody's rules," and a little more introspective and empathetic to the needs of the other players.
