I'm amazed how welcoming this community is, and I already got a reply to my partner search thread! :D Very much looking forward to start! 

Thanks for the advise! I'll definitely give larger threads a go when I have slightly more time, as you said it can really be a bit overwhelming. ^^'  I have a little experience in 1v1 RP, so I'm going to stick to my comfort zone for now. XD  But I'm up for taking it further if it goes well. (I'm sure it will!)
