[@Kidd] I understand I have much left to learn, but I mastered the art of acting 18 around the age of 9. I can almost guarantee you would not have guessed my age due to posting style or anything of that nature. My schedule might leave a hint, but many people have similar ones. I actually like 1x1s, they are easier to manage. I generally try to keep romance out of it, but that is mostly because I am terrible at writing it. There are not many things I feel uncomfortable doing. I am not to immature to get off on PM smutscenery and the like, nor to prude to actively avoid it: I don't care about it. As said earlier if it says that sex is going to be a prominent feature. If it just says be mature/an adult (one in the same), I interpret that differently. Also, in response to the comment about Naruto, that can be googled and you can keep up if you have the dedication to read a wiki or two. Maturity is a state of being not necessarily warranted by age, but rather a combination of worldview, mindset, and wisdom. Proofreading helps too. I suppose my question should be rephrased: If a 12 year old can [i]act*[/i] 18, can he say he is 18 in matters of intellectual maturity?
*act meaning fulling encompass the implied maturity, act would make it sound unnatural.
If there is a doubt to my abilities, I can provide writing samples. I can keep up with others in an advanced-casual role-play.
