So I had a thread for this from eons ago but even with a TARDIS I cannot find it so I'm making a new one.
Real Life Disclaimer and other duties:
Let me start off by saying I have a busy life. I never thought I'd be one of those people who has stuff to do outside of roleplaying. I'm not trying to sound condescending or anything but this really happened recently, up until I went back to college, I had a nice lazy routine and now I'm lucky if I'm in bed at 9 or 10 on weekdays. I will say I may have time between classes but it's only if I go all the way over to the library or bring my tablet. The most time I'll have will be weekends and possibly Friday but again, I tend to have weekend plans these days. So I'd love to say I can get you a post every other day but that would be a lie at the end of the day. What I can promise is that I'll have time in the OOC to talk and in the IC, I'd like to post 2-3 times a week. If we're on at the same time on the weekend, more will likely happen.
I am well aware that a slow paced RP may not live very long but with the right partner, it doesn't matter too much. If we can talk off site and in the OOC between posts, I am sure the interest wouldn't fade as quickly or as easily if we were just silent writers who didn't communicate or plot. If you're also busy with life, let me know. I understand things piling up or even popping up. But I needed to get this out of the way. I have Groups and One on Ones but I really would love something related to Doctor Who. I've been burned in the past but even so, that doesn't mean they weren't good writers, they just weren't great people who knew how to talk about things. People say this time and time again but seriously, if you want to change something, tell me so we can both be happy. If you're not happy, it shows in your writing.
Anyway, onto something more fun.
Preferences and Pairs:
I am an Advanced writer which is also why posts won't come so freely as say someone who is Free or Casual. I post from three to six paragraphs per character I play. And I encourage (and will ask if you're able) doubling which means playing a male and female which get equal attention, writing, development and consideration. If you can't double, let me know but it does interest me a little less if you're limiting our story to just two main characters. Do the pairs need to meet up? No but it would be nice if they could. I mean this is Doctor Who...
I am mostly caught up on the reboot of the show. I haven't seen the recent Christmas Special or the last two episodes but that's because I really dislike Clara and have a hard time stomaching her and some of the plots this season. I do enjoy the Ninth Doctor the most. Ten is fine, so is Eleven but Twelve is pretty fun. In terms of other characters, I love Rose and Martha, Rory is a sweetheart. Amy is alright, as is Donna. As far as River goes, I hate her more than I do Clara. I'm not a big fan of The Master nor do I love Daleks that much, I think they (and Cybermen) are overused in the series. I also think they visit Earth way too often and pick the same generic companions.
So if we did do fandoms, I'd be open to switching things up. So below are some suggested pairs we could try. The characters I could play are listed in bold. If OCs are ever allowed, doubling is required foe obvious reasons.
Nine x Rose
Nine x Amy
Nine x OC
Ten x Amy
Ten x Martha
Ten x Donna
Ten x OC
Eleven x Amy
Eleven x OC
Twelve x Donna
Twelve x OC
Rory x Amy
Rory x Rose
Rory x Martha
Rory x Clara
Rory x OC
Mickey x Martha
Jack x Amy
Jack x OC
I may also be okay with a crossover with Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Hunger Games or Orphan Black. Or Kingsman the movie.
Star Trek: The Next Generation:
I am also in the mood for some Star Trek TNG fun. I've seen a lot of the episodes and one or two of the movies. I would love it if someone more well versed would be up for having me as a partner. I do feel like my knowledge is solid but still a little shaky so you may need to brief me on some tech or history if I feel like my comfort isn't totally secure. Be that as it may, I am really interested in the characters, their adventures, history and interactions with one another. I am not a huge fan of Q but that may be because I was introduced to him in a later episode as opposed to watching them in order with him coming in normally in his first appearance. But if someone is open to explaining the appeal of him, I don't mind including him.
Like above, a crossover would be fun but if we're just sticking with TNG, the following pairs would work for me:
Picard x Crusher
Picard x Troi
Picard x OC
Riker x Crusher
Riker x Troi
Riker x OC
Geordi x Crusher
Geordi x Troi
Geordi x OC
Data x Crusher
Data x OC
Worf x Troi
Wesley x OC
