I totally understand getting caught up in the moment and just wanting to write out everything. And in general, I typically don't mind reading and/or responding to longer posts. Maybe it's because I've been mostly just a GM, not your average player, for such a long time now, but having little to no influence in even simpler matters is more than a little frustrating. I'm quite okay with being led, nudged, and dragged every now and again to where my character(s) needs to be for things to ultimately work out. It's your plot, after all, so you know what's set in stone (major, necessary events) and what can be changed (exactly how and even when the characters make it to those major events, and even what may happen during the said events), but by writing such long, action-assuming posts in this situation, you're not giving me the chance to alter or even just mildly effect the course of events with Anora's actions. Which is kind of the point in doing a roleplay instead of just writing a story on your own. Having a character or two not under your control who could ultimately bring about unexpected/unplanned events, and take you down roads you were not necessarily planning in the first place. Keeps you on your toes, and makes you have to utilize your imagination a bit more to adjust or work around when the other player does something unexpected.

Maybe instead of asking me what she would do, take that as a clue that you should stop there and let me show you what she does. If you want to keep writing, have at it; as a suggestion, write it out on a separate document or something, but post only up to the point where my character could actually cause a change, even if it's slight, then edit the rest of what you have saved accordingly before posting it next.
	Sorry, the way it is going at the moment just kind of makes me feel like I'm not contributing much. The only way to chase away that discomfort is to give me a chance to prove to you that I can actually contribute more than just simple responses to what you give me, and subtly help move things onward.

Awesome! Glad her powers work out, then. If you think of anything I should know right off about her using them, just let me know!

Well, I probably do have a limit, but it's pretty high up there (depending on the circumstances, I suppose), and, like I said, even higher in written form since I can kind of control what I 'see' a bit more than in visual media. Perfect, about the preferences being okay with you! 

Good question! That will involve plenty of rambling in answer, for a warning. xD Though I don't like playing off of the concept of gay relationships, I recognize that it's a part of culture nowadays, and thus is something likely to be mentioned somewhere, even just in passing, in a lot of media. Most modern live action shows have at least one gay character in them, be it a permanent character or one who just passes through. I can usually tolerate just a mention to the fact that there are gay couples out there in situations out of my control, but I can't stand showing significant affection between such couples. With that said, I prefer not to have those in a story, especially one I'm personally involved in, in any shape or form since I don't care about being "politically correct" or trying to get the attention of "various types of audiences." In short, I'd rather not. Just doesn't seem necessary or relevant to me in the long run, either, besides to appease a certain audience. Which I'm not apart of.

Side note: I do love and respect gay people in real life as much as straight people! Heck, I have family who are gay (one is my favorite aunt on that side of the family). I don't agree with their lifestyles, but people are people, no matter what lifestyle they live. As long as they respect my boundaries, I'll respect theirs. I won't support it, but I won't judge or ridicule them for it. Besides. Most of the gay people I've met have had some pretty darn awesome personalities.
