Hi all,
Thought I'd drop by to introduce myself a bit. I'm new around here, so when the forum told me to introduce myself, I thought it was probably better to comply than to silently drift through the forum hoping to make friends.
I'm a twenty-year-old (nearly, my birthday's in 34 days) guy from England, who has been RPing now for nearly half my life. I started on a forum when I was nearly eleven, which was dedicated to a book series I'd recently read at the time. When I started out, I was a dreadful writer, but RPing turned me into someone who feels more comfortable using my own language. To be perfectly honest, I feel my English GCSE would have gone a lot worse had I not been a RPer. So yeah, I was a forum RPer for some time, working on a post-by-post basis, then about four years ago, the site closed down due to dwindling activity, so the books' publishers couldn't justify paying the upkeep for the site. I started MMORP, mainly on Star Wars: The Old Republic, where I continued to grow my RPing experience in a new setting, and I ended up running a fairly successful RP Guild of about fourty active players for about a year and a half, before I slowly grew out of the game and eventually gave it up a couple of months ago.
That brings me to where I am now, looking for a way to get back into RP, and I want to go back to where I started, with forum-based stories. Ideally, I'm looking for a couple of other experienced RPers to get back into a story with, so I can get used to regular posting again. I'm not fussed on the genre of RP, though I am quite partial to characters with special abilities in my writing. And I warn you, I enjoy writing mean and messed up villains.
