I've been writing stories for a long time. When I started RP'ing, I was 11, and it was on an anime site where I watched Naruto 'cause I didn't know about subs yet. It was called DubbedAnime, doesn't exist anymore, though. The site had a chatango chat where a lot of people RP'ed. Later on when I made a friend in middle school we started RP'ing in notebooks as if it was a play, and also via phone calls/just talking about what our characters were doing.
