Just about perfect. :)

Myself, I pretty much write and design my own plotlines; I run a pretty
simulationist game, meaning the world reacts to the actions of the
characters rather than my starting with a pre-defined plotline to herd
them down. My anime-based episodic games are different, but I play
fewer of them.

I s'pect the ML would get really disgusted by my purple prose in-game
right quicklike.

Right now I don't really have time to run a PBEM (or I'd already be
running an OVER THE EDGE PBEM), but give me a few weeks for my brain to
gel something together ...
