I want to play, but don't like messenger scenes / don't like tag scenes.

That's alright, we do all styles here, so you can do whichever you're more comfortable with. Some of our players play via a messenger such as AIM, but also, many of our players are happy to do scenes by email, GoogleDocs, or private message, to be posted when you finish. It should be noted, however that you are expected to interact with others. If you aren't comfortable on AIM, gtalk or our chat, then you need to be active in the OOC community or email, so that you can still connect with other players. If you won't do either AIM or tag scenes, you must make an extra effort to get scenes by email, GoogleDocs or private message done. Keep in mind that it's difficult to tell online if you're simply shy or that you don't like everyone. We'll work with you for your needs, such as if you don't have a lot of online time, email scenes are a great way to still get scenes done. One other popular way to get scenes done is GoogleDocs. They are getting to be highly utilized for people who do not cross online often.
