    Exclamation Various Plots Inside (Partner(s) Needed Please)

    It seems I'm running low on active roleplays so it's time to scramble something together once again.

    About me and my writing...

    I am in my third year of college, I can post usually once a day. Sometimes more. I'm more active at night than any other time. My cell phone lets me check this site remotely when I'm around campus but I won't be making any Adv. posts from it until I get to a computer, so if you see me online but not doing much, I'm probably on my cell phone. My posts are usually three to six paragraphs. Three is the minimum. The max really depends on who I'm with and what's going on. All of my posts are third person, past tense. Do not write in first person, it's really weird. I'll play either gender, granted you will as well. It's a key factor in my roleplays that my partner and I talk and plot together. Why would I want to do all the thinking? So if you're creative and have a good head on your shoulders, we should be fine.

    About my comfort zones...

    I don't do sci-fi very well unless it's something like .Hack. I'm awful when it comes to space ship type stuff. I don't like concentrating on technology a lot, which is also why I don't like steampunk. I enjoy light fantasy if the setting doesn't overshadow the characters and plot. I also enjoy fantasy mixed into the modern world. Lately I've been drifting between modern settings and historic ones. Things just depend on what's going on. I also enjoy fandoms a lot. I really do. I'm a sucker for them, only if canons are involved in some way. Original characters people make up just turn me off. They do. They don't belong in a fandom world, so it's rare I use them. If they are used, I require us both to double as one canon and one made up character and play them equally. Otherwise all canons are awesome.

    About my plots and ideas...

    As I mentioned before, I do not want to do all the thinking for us. I need a confident partner who doesn't need to hold my hand. I need someone who can pitch ideas and take the lead when needed. So below are some general, and I mean very general plots I'd like to do. Then there are fandoms listed which I would like to work with. I do tend to play more females than males. I also enjoy doubling though. Most of the characters I play with should be at least 17-18. Anything younger is just creepy. Also, I don't really have limits so if you do, tell me.



    If you can't post at least once a day, please don't say you'll roleplay with me. I'm really tired of waiting for posts. I get it, we have lives but if you can't commit to writing once a day, we're probably not a good fit. I do other things on here but I still would like to find a passionate writer who is like me and lives to tell juicy stories. If you're passionate, I will be. If you're forgetful, neglectful, ill-inspiring, etc...then I'll probably be the same and the roleplay will die.

    Finally, a thread actually worth reading. Now, since I can't randomly interfere and crash a post here without at least introducing myself, I will try to offer as many useful pieces of information as possible.

    About me. This is probably the most difficult section since there is no real possibility to stop me from talking. No, i'm not being arrogant, I simply rant too much for a normal listener. Anyway, I'm in my last year of highschool, the most horror experience someone ever passed through, and I'm keeping my time well under control so that I will not mix the free time with school hours. They are not in equilibrium anyway, classes do keep me awake at night. As for how I write, I think that it should be a balance between quantity and quality. Normally, I have no problem in going over six paragraphs for example, but the other rper needs to pay attention to everything written in them. When I answer with a character, I connect him/her with whatever what said and done before that post, just like an ordinary person. When someone smiles or asks you something, you answer. It is the same thing in rp, here, our characters are real persons. A few months ago I happened to run into a story about a couple trying to find their way out of the book, cliche, I know, but it was amazingly done.

    Comfort zones you say, these ones are pretty easy to handle since I can practically do anything, from fantasy to medieval, historic, horror, action, thriller etc. Lately I've rped many apocalyptic rps. They are interesting, and unless you document for them, sometimes they just die. And another thing, I absolutely despise drama. Not romance, drama, that plot that tends to go all soapy opera in the end. If I want to make someone cry, then I can always use a baseball bat. Usually, I also use fandoms, but obviously, the personality will change according to my own style and beliefs. I think I once brought Harry potter together with Chobits. Okay, don't kill me for that, i wanted to see how would that work. You know how it ended, with Potter going all spells on the poor girl. Definitely, not a good choice, although it was worth the try. That's amazing in writing, you can create and manipulate your puppets in whatever way you desire, without forgetting to keep count of their feelings and emotions.

    Plots and ideas. Can I take your hand in this topic? Just kidding, I believe that rpers involved in a 1x1 should thoroughly discuss the subject between them, not one to do all the thinking and the other to just comply. Automatically, the amount of work becomes unequal. Males or females? I can do both , but since I am a girl, I can connect better with the female character. If it is male, then I unconsciously give him a bad ass exterior and behavior. You gave a few ideas in here, and to be honest I want a little realism for this certain roleplay, so I will go for number 4. I find it utterly interesting, especially through the point of view of the psychologist I want to be one day. From the options you provided, that is the most intriguing. If you're interested, then I will gladly offer some suggestions according to what character each one of us will play.

    Once a day, that's decent, so that will be no problem. I usually am on only two hours per day in the evening, so this is settled. Hope to hear from you soon, and by the way, I attached a sample of one of my other roleplays.(the character is inspired by Ailith, the first supposed woman of Adam that transformed into the snake in order to lure Eva out of heaven.)
    Callie.

    The sex addict one interests me and I kind of have a character half-developed who could fit the role. I can definitely post every day, too, and I'm also freer to write adv posts at night. If you've still got room, wanna work something out?


    Hey guys, if you like my dry, sarcastic wit, y'know what might be a good use of three bucks? Buy my book.

    @Both: If you guys like that plot, you should both consider seeing 'Shame' it's the movie based on the plot. Wonderful acting and a stunning movie, it's really something special you don't see in movies these days.

    @Mimosa: I'd be interested in hearing more about your character. I know we've had our hits and misses but I still don't mind trying again. I'm happy to hear your writing is getting better too.

    @XCalanthiaX: Number 4 was about the sex addict. The one regarding the psychologist was 3. I feel like romance doesn't come without the added side effect of drama, it's going to be hard to avoid. To me drama (done tastefully, not thrown up in the air randomly) can really develop characters and push them to places they might not otherwise go. I generally don't do post-apoc because I can't relate to it. The only things that have sort of exposed me to that would be: Contagion, Life as we Knew it, and Knowing. All sort of different in their means of world-destroying...anyway...I wouldn't mind talking more with you about some ideas and details.

    The attached file had a really small post in it. It was only a few lines, though the writing was good, it's not nearly the amount I'm looking for in someone's post. If you post more, that's great, but if you don't, I can't see us working out well together. Just saying in case you might have sent the wrong one or something is all.

    I know very well what number I chose, I consider sexual addiction has something to do with the human mind as well, a certain area of our brain that relates to our primeval instincts. Yes, romance, I agree, but not to an extent it becomes predictable, you know fairy tales. A character is built on affection, so it's obvious that at a certain point love and romance will saunter in, but as you said, done tastefully. As for post-apocalyptic I would love to discuss some ideas and details with you, and also to learn more. What I did was based on an organization of assassins in the year of 2025 trying to erase those who knew more than needed for their own good. It also involved survival. Of course, there is always the zombie topic, but somehow I can't include it in this section, only in horror.

    @XCalanthiaX: I figured the document might have cut off somehow...I was only uncertain of your number since it appeared like you had confused two but alas, misunderstanding cleared up. I wouldn't mind diving into the idea of sexual addiction, like any other (like drugs or gambling for example) it would impede on someone's ability to really connect to someone else and have a fully stable life. So I'll probably shoot you a PM sometime today regarding some ideas and characters and expectations we might have for the RP itself.

    Yes, I figured that there was a small, but considerable, difference in the way various types of characters are played so I thought it better to give you an idea of how a realistic puppet is manipulated by me. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon, I will be watching Shame sometime today so that I will have a better idea of the topic. Until then, have a good day.
    Callie.

    The second idea, the one inspired by The Holiday, really intrigues me and I love doubling up.
    I have a lot of afternoon/evening classes Mondays through Thursdays, but I can get at least one post up a night after classes are finished, and more often on weekends.
    If you need a sample of my writing, I'd be glad to provide one.

    I have a problem with low self esteem, which is really ridiculous when you consider how amazing I am.

    The Holiday is such a cute movie! Have you seen it? I'd be happy to do something like that, I could something warm and fuzzy.

    I trust you're a competent writer so I don't need to see any of your writing samples, but if you have one you'd like me to see, I don't mind taking a look.
