First things first, my name is Thomas, I'm eighteen years of age and live in a small town in Wisconsin. Most of my life I've spent writing and enjoying every bit of it. I've taken a bit of a hiatus from role-playing (outside of local D&D games and things like that) due to school work and mental illness issues, but that's a bit off topic. Like I said, I'm a writer in every sense of the word. I've made films, poetry, a few novels and novellas, a memoir or two, and all things in between. Most of my high school life was spent in a school made for the arts, and I chose writing as my major. I was taught all the basics and more by authors and English teachers alike. I'm not saying this to brag, I'm saying this to show that writing is my baby and I've been giving a wonderful opportunity to explore and get better at my art.

I'm going off what I've made for other sites like this one, and so I'm going to list what I like to write, and what I don't like to write. This a strict and may not be questioned (If I didn't list in bellow, I'm up for discussion but don't be surprised if I'm not down with it).

Likes:
- Fantasy (more of a love)
- Science Fiction
- Realistic Fiction
- Horror
- Thriller
- Romance
- Post-Apocalypse

Dislikes:
- Fan-Fiction (not judging, just not my thing, I like to create)
- Historical Fiction (love reading it, can't write it for crap)
- Mystery
- Western

Also, I thought I should add my rules for writing. I.E. what I expect of people and things that are OFF LIMITS for my writing, and my partners, unless I say so because it fits the story, character, etc.
- No sexual writing, I mean this as writing smut, or anything like that. In my own writing it's fine, but with someone else it feels intimate, and I'm taken.
- No rape, this should be obvious, I'm sensitive to the subject.
- No homophobia, transphobia, racism, pretty much no hate towards anyone, once again, obvious to why, being a part of the LGBT+ community and being a general decent human being is a must.
- Have a basic concept of the English. I mean this as make it as clean and professional as your writing ability can allow it. Bad writing and horrific grammar just makes me lose interest and such (pretty much read over your stuff before sending it my way).
- I prefer doing things over email.

This is all I can think about. I have a job so replying to things might be a bit hard and will be in burst when I have time, or are at home. General work time is from (all in US Central time), 8 AM to 4 PM. Sometimes I can reply if it's short or I have off.

Thank you for reading this, I hope to talk to you all in the future, and may whatever God, or Gods, you worship guide you in your future endeavors :).

We'come to the guild.

Just out of curiosity: your dislike of fanfiction: Is that all forms of storytelling set in universes created by other people, or just stories set around movies/books set in such universes?
To use Star wars as an example:
Do you dislike any story set in that universe, no matter how far it is taken in time from "Canon" sources?
Or do you dislike anything set, say around the movies?
Or is it anything involving Canon characters?

Would you still dislike fanfic in the form of a fandom OC story set in a universe created by others than the storytellers?

Are you mostly into playing stories with one other (1x1) or group stories?

@Ellri That is a tricky question, but I guess to put in a TLDR kind of answer. I would say that I wouldn't have a problem if the base of a world was used (I've done something like this with some buds where we used Skyrim as a base for a world after creating our own characters, and was really fun), so I guess I would say that it would be fine if it was based off of a world. Also using something as a base is also okay, inspiration is fine in my book. But, the second someone takes a character straight from the source, then it's not okay with me. I guess to some it up would be to say that, basing an RP off of something is fine, but using characters, stories, and other things in that nature, I wouldn't like to do. (This wasn't really TLDR..)

Thought it would be that way. Many people are very iffy about involving canon characters (and storylines). They're too easy to mangle.

Is a large-group OC story not involving any canon characters in the Star Wars Universe something that could interest you, @Necolif? If it could be, feel free to check out the link in our signature.

@Ellri I love the Star Wars series as a whole but was never my cup of tea for story telling, I don't know why, but I could never get into it. Sorry ;3;
