CANON

canon: Call Me By Your Name/Find Me
summary: Here & here
quick rundown: About 15 years after the events of Call Me By Your Name, Elio has moved from Italy to Paris where he lives a low-profile life as a piano teacher at the conservatory, as well as playing at a local piano bar in the weekends. Throughout the years, he's had several romantic relationships to people, women and men, but nothing has lasted, because he's still waiting to be reunited with Oliver. Waiting to be found.
canon point: Defaulting to playing from after the chapter, Cadenza in Find Me, but can play from any point between Elio moving to Rome to study before the beginning of the novel and him leaving Paris for his American tour.
notes: Even though I don't write smut, occasionally I like to throw Elio at sexting memes, if you ever see him there, anything's fair game.



PLAYER

contact: PM to this journal.
active times/pace: CEST/CET player. Tries to be online at least during the evening my time, but it varies. More one tag a day player than anything, but if you hit me up at the right time, I can still boomerang a bit.
brackets/prose: Definitely brackets preference, but will match. I default to present tense, but can also match other tenses.
offensive subjects/triggers: Not any.



IN CHARACTER

physical affection: Go for it. Reactions may vary depending on CR.
physical violence: Sure, give me a heads up if you're aiming to do severe damage.
relationships: F/M or M/M. Outside memes that are specifically designed for it, I prefer not to assume any romantic CR unless relevant canon mates. Ask before tagging with an Oliver. I'm not averse to the pairing, I just want to discuss how we approach it first. Michels are always welcome.
psychic info: Ask.
magical info: No magical powers. Good with playing opposite characters who do have them.
medical info: Nothing relevant. He's in good health.
offensive subjects/triggers: Elio comes from books where the main romance (same-sex) is between a 17 year old teenager and a 24 year old doctoral student (with grooming aspects) and - later - between a man in his early thirties and a partner twice his age. If this kind of age gap doesn't sit well with you, please let me know and I'll avoid tagging you. You can opt-out partly or completely by replying to this entry. All comments are screened.



OUT OF CHARACTER

backtagging: Yes, please!
threadhopping: No.
fourthwalling: Go ahead.
not interested in: Smut, neither F/M or M/M.
