Hey guys :D
I'm new to the forum but less-new to RP. Got my start on Yahoo! chat right around the time when the user rooms got shut down. I was able to snag a few good RPers on their way out, but never really got as much RP as I wanted, and once they retired I had to go into hiding.
But! It's been quite long enough since I last RP'd, and I do miss it dearly. So here I am.
I should probably tell you I'm a girl, over 18. I play both male and female characters, and in my experience the RP is always more fun if my partner is playing the opposite sex as whoever I'm using. For example, if I was RPing my female mad scientist, I would want your character to be male. If I'm playing my male post-apocalyptic survivor, I would rather your character be female. I dunno, it just works out better that way. (I don't have a preference for player gender, btw. As long as the character is played well, does it really matter?)
That said, I do NOT enjoy romance in my RPs. Of course, chemistry and lust are likely (and welcomed!) in this kind of arrangement, but whenever the characters start getting really cuddly, I tend to lose interest. I guess it's just plot > affection in my book.
I will kindly ask for a minimum age of 18 for my RPs (though I don't care how old your character is), because you may see any of the following in most of my storylines:
violence
profanity
gore
drugs
alcohol
On post length: QUALITY over quantity. Strive to move the story rather than my scroll wheel. I usually hover somewhere in the Casual range. If I'm really into the story and there's a lot going on, my posts will be longer. If things are moving pretty fast (eg, a fight or a heated argument), my posts will be quick and to the point. I am not into fluff. Just write what you have to say, and hit Send. Let the scene dictate how long your post ought to be. :)
Preferred genres:
Modern-realistic
Medieval (low fantasy/realistic)
Near-future/sci-fi (not space)
Post-apocalyptic/survival
Supernatural critters are welcome in all genres. I'm not very into magic, so wizards and sorcerers please move along.
I do not RP anime or fanfiction of any kind. I just don't see the appeal.
My availability: Evenings and weekends.
Expected absences:
Thanksgiving break
Christmas break
Please let me know if you're not able to reply right away (“right away” = within an hour) to my posts. Be it writers' block, a previous engagement, an emergency, whatever, just shoot me a quick message letting me know you're unavailable. I promise I will forgive you! There's just nothing worse than that feeling of abandonment from pressing the F5 key too many times.
Also feel free to message me OOC! If you get stuck posting or if you have a question about the story/characters in general, PLEASE ask. I would much rather do some OOC maintenance with an RP than let it die because someone got confused or bored. If the RP just isn't working out, we can always try a new one!
Sooo, if you're interested in RP, send me a private message detailing what you'd like to do. :D
**I prefer to RP over PM or Skype.**
