Hey, RPers! I'm just sort of dipping my toes back into roleplaying here, so this isn't going to be a super fancy interest check,
but hopefully it will speak to someone!

I guess a couple of things to know about me in general and as a RPer:
I'm a 29 year old graphic designer with a side gig making video game assets, so writing hasn't been a big part of my life lately. Initially, though, I went to school for English and was writing / roleplaying constantly (mostly here!).
I used to be much more strict with my roleplay requirements, but over time I've become more relaxed. Not to the point of one-liners, but I naturally write around 1-2 paragraphs now standard (unless I get on a roll or am writing some an establishing scene or something). That said, I do typically try to match my partner where I can, as long as it's manageable.
In all honesty, I'm not looking to pour all of my heart and soul into a roleplay at the moment; I admire those who go all out and end up with novelesque plots, but my energy level is not there at this point in time. That said, if you want a casual, low pressure roleplay without a ton of structure, I'm your girl!
Going off of the above, at the moment I'm probably only going to be able to start one, maybe two stories just to keep things balanced with the rest of my life and make sure I don't drop the ball with whoever I write with. Just as a heads up in case we have to take a raincheck :)
I tend to prefer M/F or F/F pairings, especially when ERP scenes are involved; I can play male main characters depending on the story, but it's normally not my first choice. (Though I have no preference for any side characters that show up.)
I don't enjoy very graphic gore or extreme violence/assault scenes. You'd think the horror movies would desensitize me, but I'm squeamish.
I am typically down for erotic scenes if the story calls for it, and even enjoy stories where that is the focus (the scandal, I know). If that comes up, limits can be discussed, though it's pretty much the standard no-no stuff.
I do have a discord and I'm happy to use it for OOC discussion, RP posts, or both if that's something you're interested in!
I love having a good rapport with my RP partners, so honestly I'm always happy to chat OOC as well, even if it's not about the RP. The RPs I've had the most fun in are the ones I've had with friends/partners I'm comfortable with!

I guess some general rules would be helpful, though I don't have many:
Post length of at least one paragraph and decent grammar / no text speak. I'm not a stickler, though, as long as responses are well written, move the story along and give me something to respond to.
I'm totally fine pre-planning the RP or just jumping right in. Both can be fun!
All characters involved in mature plots are 18+. Preferably older than 20. This shouldn't really have to be said, but⦠here we are.
No stories involving incest, SA, or ERP with animals or anthropomorphic / non-humanoid creatures. Not really my thing.
I'm pretty busy in RL and I know you probably are too, so a laid back vibe regarding timing is appreciated.
Communication is great, so I'll try my best to let you know if I won't be around for a while or if there will be some sort of unreasonable delay or something, and it would be awesome if you did the same!

Now to some pairings! These are kind of random ones I've accumulated over the years that I've never really explored. My interests these days are definitely more in the realm of modern day realism/semirealism; I reallyyyy overdid fantasy and medieval stuff for a while and lost all interest in those kinds of stories, and I've never really gotten the hang of scifi. That said, I'm open to suggestions in those categories (though I would really like one of the below)!
I don't have specific plot ideas, but these pairings/ideas interest me (my desired character is in bold):
Cult leader / Follower
Captor / captive with Stockholm Syndrome (or that develops Stockholm Syndrome)
Stalker / stalkee (?)
Post-apocalyptic survivors (or some sort of end of the world scenario)
Romance between two classes (billionaire or royalty / common person kind of thing)
College student / other student, TA or Professor
Arranged marriage (could be historical but more probably modern day)
Time traveler / person in another time
Something Eyes Wide Shut-esque / secret society related
I'm also interested to hear your ideas as well!
So if you've made it this far, first of all thank you! And second, if any of the above appeals to you, feel free to PM me and we can chat! π
