I used to frequent this site a long time ago. I think if I remember rightly, I started coming here at age 16 and then was here on and off for a good 5 or 6 years before life took over. Can't remember what name I went by, but I do remember how much fun I had. Hell, sometimes this place got me through life, as I am sure it continues to do for many people. How fortunate I guess that I stumbled back in here on a day that I'm home sick from work. I think that might be what has drawn me back here today. Sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself because you're not 100% makes you think all sorts of things. Today, wandering around online looking for something to pass the time, made me think about the past a little bit and I returned here.
A bit about me I suppose is necessary in an introduce yourself section. I'm 24, female, live in New Zealand. I currently work in a call centre, so I get to spend all day talking on the phone. I'm married, have been for almost 2 years. We bought our first house last year which was pretty exciting. Writing is one of my passions and my creative outlets. Singing is the other. Personality wise, in real life, I am pretty shy, quiet and introverted. This however, doesn't impact on the characters I play. Writing is an escape and a chance to be anyone you want, which I truly enjoy. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and Classical Studies and a PostGraduate Diploma in Secondary School Teaching. Teaching is another one of my passions. I spent a year teaching English at two local high schools on short term contracts, but they ended and there was no teaching positions available where I live, so I had to return to my call centre job.
About me in terms of roleplaying... I consider myself a more Casual/Advanced Roleplayer, but I freely admit I haven't been doing as much writing as I would have liked lately. I don't really have a favourite genre, but I tend to stay away from anything anime based. I enjoy fantasy, reality, sci-fi, fandoms, etc. I normally only play female characters and I try to make them as realistic as possible. I enjoy group RPs and 1x1s. I usually write anything from 3-7 paragraphs or so, depending on the story, the partner, the character. Sometimes I will write more, sometimes less if I feel the story needs to be moved on. I will always tell my partner/partners if something isn't working for me. There is nothing I hate more than a story that just stops, with no communication.
Anyways, I think I've probably rambled enough. Looking forward to jumping into some stories. Anything else you want to know, I'm an open book.
Hi, good to be here. Looking forward to writing with you.
