Bio
Been writing for years. Waiting for the day that I get "good" at it.
What I expect of you:
1. Common courtesy. I haven’t run into many unkind people on here, but kindness is only one part of courtesy. I also expect that you will make a decent attempt to answer my OOC questions/comments. I would appreciate a heads up (if possible) if you are going to be unavailable for an extended period of time. Finally, if you are bored of our game, just say so. I wear my big boy pants most days.
2. Thick skin is an absolute must. If I make a suggestion that something in our RP doesn’t make sense, or if I have to tell you that things just aren’t working out, please don’t be a drama queen. I promise not to be a jerk about it.
3. I would appreciate only people over the age of 18 contacting me.
4. By no means do I believe myself to be an awesome writer, but it would be great if you are as good as or better than me. Looking back over the years, I realize that my writing ability grew the most when I was matched with a superior writer. Since I’m looking to improve myself, you’ll understand why I’m so picky.
What you can expect of me:
1. I am fairly literate and I make an effort to proofread my IC posts. Though don’t be surprised if my OOC communication isn’t as polished.
2. I can commit to being available three times a week at least. I typically prefer to be online for longer periods of time and to get a lot of RP’ing done at once. But I recognize that’s not easy between differing schedules and time zones. Speaking of which, I am in EST.
3. I will happily contribute to plot and setting planning. That being said if I’m not careful I tend to take things over. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down on details and decisions that you feel strongly about. Besides, I appreciate someone who is just as active as I am in contributing ideas.
4. I can play either gender and typically prefer my main character to be male. **HOWEVER** If you have a habit of telling people, “Sorry, I really only want to (can) play female” then please don’t bother contacting me. I feel it shows a serious lack of creativity to limit yourself to one gender. Besides, playing multiple characters is almost always required if the RP is going to have any depth to it whatsoever.
Preferred Platforms: It seems the platform of choice around here is PM. That’s fine with me. However, I am most interested in doing an RP over TitanPad or a similar program. TitanPad is really cool because it allows us to type in real time to each other in a streamlined document. In addition, there is a live text box to the side of our main document that is perfect for OOC chat. If you’re not familiar with this platform but are curious, let me know. It’s really easy to learn how to use and of course it’s free (you don’t even need to make an account).
Genres and Settings: Things I don’t like Anime Most Fandoms Slice of Life Steampunk Dystopian Society
Things I like a lot Post-Apocalypse Historical Time-travel Wartime
(Rough) Potential Plots: I am currently interested in doing a “woman thrown back in time” type of RP. The year/setting is flexible but I think I’d be most interested in Norse, Medieval, Roman, Greek, Hebrew, Western.
I am always up for a good post-apocalyptic RP. The focus can be heavily upon the element of survival, or it can be more political such as in the case freedom fighting or territory wars.
If after reading all this you are still interested send me a PM with the following… 1. A sample of your writing 2. Your current time zone 3. Preferred platform (PM, Titan Pad, E-mail) 4. What kind of RP you are most excited about 5. What type of character you would potentially like to play
Tbf, I would change it a fair bit. Felt like I forced it into stagnation before. Maybe avoid forcing everyone together, as it makes it harder to keep a flow sometimes.
I think last time people had a hard time coordinating a big fight scene where we all were so close together. That sort of thing is easier when table top mechanics are involved. Without them it can get messy.
So I started RP'ing when I was super young. Went to the chat boards on that site and discovered for the first time what play-by-post RP was and of course fell in love. Anyone else in the same boat?
Hey there. I am interested in your fantasy and post-apocalyptic plot line. I included my stock 0ne x One interest check so you can get an idea if you want to work with me. Please be very picky as I hate to waste people's time (you won't offend me if the answer is no). Btw, I have a primary RP that I am interested in so if we got something going my responses might be limited to a few per week. Just depends.
Are you at all open to using an alternative platform to play? Specifically, a real-time wiki of some sort.

Extremely picky? Well I do love a good challenge. Do you have any particular plot or pairing you are craving, or are you open to anything?
Well, here, I typed up a basic (actual) interest check...

@Lady Amalthea Thanks! Lol, all in good fun.... *whispers* but seriously though.
But I mean, are you looking for a partner, or...? I can't get a read on this one.
I am casually searching for a partner. I'm extremely picky and because of that it's a frustrating process. My frustration inspired parts of this satire ;)
(Meant to be funny, but not necessarily untrue. Enjoy)
7 Steps to Finding an RP Partner
Step 1: Lower your standards Only stuck-up people insist on things like rules and mutual expectations.
Step 2: Write an advertisement with tons of unnecessary personal information Everyone wants to know what your cat's name is... everyone.
Step 3: Lie about your interests Of course you'd love to do an RP about 12 year-old fandoms you've never heard of.
Step 4: Forfeit any shred of dignity "Fade to black?!?" That's no way to have fun!
Step 5: Let everyone know you'll play "male" The Mary-Sues will be clawing each other's heterochromatic eyes out to be your partner.
Step 6: Learn to appreciate anime Seriously, you're going to be really limited if you can't accept this one.
Step 7: Anything (age) goes Don't be a jerk and request that your partners be a certain age. After all, I'm sure you have lots in common with people ten years your junior in real life.
I sent over (via PM) a sample of a collab between myself and another writer. It's not particularly polished, but it should give you a basic idea of my writing skill. Please let me know. Thanks.
Been writing for years. Waiting for the day that I get "good" at it.
