Relevant Information About Yours Truly
[indent]Excessive satire aside, welcome to my thread. I go by the name of Grayson though if you're more inclined to keep this business strictly interwebz appropriate than Thrydwulf is just as applicable. Astonishing, I know. I have been reading and writing since the early, formative infantile years but then again so has everybody else within a modern culture. The distinction --I find-- between forum-writers who are remarkably versed at their craft and those who give dire need for hierarchical skill designations is fostering a respect for not only writing but doing so collaboratively. I began recreational writing on the internet in my early teenage years back when 'instant messaging' interfaces dominated the field of virtual co-authorship and had about as much skill and regard for it as a teenage anime-junkie. Beyond a seemingly natural propensity for academics and being somewhat of a bibliophile as a kid, I began to realize that roleplaying effectively required a lot more than just a consistent ability to put words together and match up definitions like some literal algorithm. It was truly more of an art; something to be shared not scrutinized. Years of following constructive criticism and throwing myself into the water inhabited by, who I determined to be, literary sharks of the site allowed me to improve on my craft.
Currently, I'm in the Air Force reserves attending school in the western United States with aspirations to be a physician's assistant or perhaps a surgeon if I can somehow convince myself to commit a considerable fraction of my existence to academics. I am a full time student with an unhealthy collection of recreational hobbies as well as a medical biller and coder for a local hospital. I would proceed with the my fondness of long walks on the beach and conversation amiss candlelight but for some reason I don't think these sentiements would be wholly appreciated on a site like this

So You Wanna Be My Partner, Do Ya?
Yes. I did just assault the masses with a small TL;DR tactic; I find it to be rather effective at scaring away people who are more propense to superficially internalizing information. If you've made it this far than I am to assume you foster the level of patience and interest I would expect a partner to have. Having come this far, it might surprise you to discover that I am honestly not a proponent of requisites and specific standards; they tend to come off as incredibly meticulous and nit-picky to me. A mutual understanding between two writers and a shared respect for the craft inadvertently establishes the norms of punctuality, competency, and etiquette. The kind of writer I'm looking to work with is someone who doesn't need to see the rules to know they aren't in offense of any. Work with me in a timely-fashion, take pride in what you write, enjoy the experience, and inform me if you feel you can no longer do any of the above.
Interests and Inclinations
Over the years, I've developed a fondness of most genres, though have somewhat of a partiality when it comes to science-fiction, modern themed, and light-fantasy genres. Separately or inclusive, it matters not; if you have an idea and you think it falls into or in between these genres go ahead and shoot it my way and we'll see what magic can be worked up. Alternatively, if you share my inclination for either genre but have no particular idea in mind, let's have a chat and see how deep our mutual appreciation runs and what similar elements we can pen out. It should be noted that I won't reject any idea on the basis of initial interest but I will reject a "specific pairing" plot lazily cast my way. I don't want you to have an entire roleplay planned out but in the very least would like for you to have a seed to plant in my mind. If you aren't terribly confident in any one idea but you have interests you would love to delve into or a fandom you're adamant on exploiting let me know. Even a cool picture that invokes awesome ideas but no real sense of direction is equally as acceptable.
