[center][color=fdc68a][quote][i][b][u]ABOUT ME[/u][/b][/i][/quote][/color][/center] Greetings and salutations. Name's Orwell, I'm new to the site but definitely not new to the roleplaying game, although it [i]has[/i] been quite a while. I've got about a decade's worth of writing experience under my belt, though with the writer's block hitting hard these days I've decided to try my hand at this once more. [i]Hopefully[/i], more practice'll restore me to my former glory. Though I'm a lady, I'm fully capable of and enjoy writing male or female. I enjoy plot-building, world-building and inserting random twists in my stories to embroil my characters in more trouble and drama than they bargained for. I favor dark, gritty themes and as such, this isn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'm looking for a partner who can give me at least two decently-sized paragraphs per post, and who writes creatively and descriptively at a (preferably) high casual to advanced level. I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity, clichéd as that might sound. If there is to be a romantic subplot between characters (I do admit I [i]am[/i] sort of a sucker for it), I'd prefer MxF (although I am open to others). All my stories will have adult content (note that I don't do pure smut!) which will include profanity and violence amongst others. I'm flexible, however, so if there's anything you're uncomfortable with, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I'm currently preparing for a big move, I've got a house and a spouse to take care of, and my depression sometimes hits hard so things are going to be a little slow for the time being. I'll try my best to respond as often as possible, but at this point a swift response is (usually) not guaranteed. I ask only for patience and understanding, and will try my utmost to shoot you a message should I be unable to post for any amount of time. [center][color=fdc68a][quote][b][i][u]MY INTERESTS[/u][/i][/b][/quote][/color][/center] I'm open to almost any genre you can think of, though my favorites are undoubtedly medieval/fantasy, science fiction, post-apocalyptic, dystopian, and horror. I'm also a fan of war-themed stories, so if you want something about space marines battling aliens against incredible odds, or an order of holy warriors against a plague of demons, I'm sold. I like action, epic battles, and anything you might see in a summer blockbuster. School for the gifted? Yup. Wealthy vampires surreptitiously running a city? Definitely. That being said, I'm also all for a sappy slice-of-life. Ex-spouses reunited, a soldier coming home, college friends...as long as the capacity for drama exists. I also have an avid interest in true crime and forensics, so anything involving detectives or FBI profilers would be [i]ah-mazing[/i]. Historical? Hit me up! World War II, Vietnam, the Roaring 20's...I love all that (I also love original universes based off of history). Message me, and we'll brainstorm! [center][color=fdc68a][quote][b][i][u]PLOTS, IDEAS, AND SUCH[/u][/i][/b][/quote][/color][/center] (to be updated) [center][color=fdc68a][quote][b][I][u]THE FANDOMS[/u][/I][/b][/quote][/color][/center] [u][b]*NO LONGER SEARCHING FOR FANDOM ROLEPLAYS AT PRESENT[/b][/u] This is just so you can get an idea of what I'm into. I won't list everything I like, because that'll take forever, but here are a few examples. I don't usually like roleplaying fandoms, but you may convince me. I don't usually roleplay canon characters either, so expect a wholly original character should you talk me into writing for an existing universe. Dragon Age Mass Effect The Walking Dead Marvel Criminal Minds Mistborn Doom Bioshock Battlefield 1 Saints Row Star Wars: The Old Republic [center][color=fdc68a][quote][i][b][u]AND TO CONCLUDE[/u][/b][/i][/quote][/color][/center] If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message. And if you're interested, feel free to drop me a message as well. This won't be a first come, first served kind of deal. As I'm presently seeking limited partners, I'll make a decision based on personal interest, so please don't take offense. I may also ask for a writing sample. If you'd like a writing sample of mine, do inquire and I'll happily provide it. I look forward to possibly beginning an amazing writing journey with you! I promise I don't bite.
