Afternoon! 

In keeping with standard suggestions, I've popped in here to introduce myself and tell you all a little bit about my preferences! I've been a part of a few different roleplaying forums and communities, but I believe that this is the biggest one that I've come across in recent time. It seems to be a pretty nice little spot you have here, so I have a feeling I may be settling down to lurk for a little while! Typically, I like to get a feel by creeping threads before jumping in myself, as I don't want to step on any toes. 

I began roleplaying ...[color=f6989d][b]sixteen years[/b][/color] ago? (Uhg, did that math on that and was a little mortified to find that it's been that long) I started out in MSN chatrooms (told you it was long ago...) and migrated over to ICQ and Yahoo! rooms once that died down. From there, I built up a half decent little network of RPers and typically found that I preferred doing things privately in a [color=f6989d][b]one on one[/b][/color] fashion as it worked a bit better with my schedule. I still hold to that today, but I do participate in[color=f6989d][b] the odd group RP[/b][/color]! 

My preferences within RP are pretty straight forward. I favour [color=f6989d][b]paragraph-length posts[/b][/color], typically centered around [color=f6989d][b]third person POV[/b][/color] and out of habit I always stick to [color=f6989d][b]past tense[/b][/color]. Paragraph amount isn't really something I have a hard 'must' for. A short paragraph made up of 5 sentences or so is a perfectly acceptable post to me and depending on how many paragraphs my partner writes, I try to emulate that length. I find that typically I hover at around 3 paragraphs a post on average. 

In terms of genre, I settle mostly in the wide blanket of[color=f6989d] [b]fantasy[/b][/color]. High fantasy, medieval fantasy, modern fantasy, and [color=f6989d][b]comic book based [/b][/color](specifically revolving around the Marvel and DC companies. A few of the favourites are Avengers, X-men, Batman, and the Justice League) are the genres I tend to fall back on. I do have some experience in [color=f6989d][b]Sci-fi, horror, post-apocalyptic/survival, and  contemporary[/b][/color], but I'm not overly strong in those genres (or, for some reason I lose interest in them. Perhaps not the right stories have popped up for me yet). I also enjoy RPing a number of different[color=f6989d] [b]fandoms[/b][/color] from various novels, TV shows, movies (comic book movies especially), and a few animes (though I'm not a huge anime fan, admittedly). I'll do just about anything in terms of subject matter. I'm [color=f6989d][b]fine with adult themes[/b][/color] like drugs, sex, angsty stuff. I do love fluff as well! I [color=f6989d][b]tend to play male characters[/b][/color] more often than females for whatever reason. [color=f6989d][b]Romance [/b][/color]without smut is something I'm totally fine with! I'll do just about [color=f6989d][b]any type of pairing[/b][/color]. Heterosexual, homosexual, and any thing in between.

If any of that sounds like your cup of tea, I would love to receive a PM from you! A little more about myself, personally; [color=f6989d][b]I enjoy chatting! [/b][/color]I love getting into characters and having fun with them outside of RPs by just talking about them or the RP itself. [color=f6989d][b]I'm a hair stylist [/b][/color]by trade and have sort of funny hours, but typically will get a response in at least once throughout the day. [color=f6989d][b]I'm Canadian[/b][/color] and my [color=f6989d][b]time zone is EST.[/b][/color] When I'm not up to my neck in snow and maple syrup, I'm usually flitting around the house, writing, cleaning or doing[color=f6989d][b] witchy [/b][/color]things (I've practiced witchcraft for many moons, now). 

Looking forward to meeting some new RP partners! =D 

Edit: Added a few more details.
