So! Some generic roleplay questions! What's your favourite genre? How long have you been roleplaying and what got you into it? Do you have any particular fond memories or experiences you'd like to share?

my favorite genre? hm... if i'll be honest, i'm not sure. I tend to prefer RPs with a high level of one-on-one interaction, because i enjoy that dynamic and find that introducing too many RPers in to a single scene rarely works out well. I've never done a 1x1 before, but that might be fun. I haven't successfully RP'd for more than a week or so at a time in something like five years - people /always/ flake - so i can't really say for sure where i'm at now.
There are definitely some marked preferences i have, but they're not genre related. I really hate using face-claims, and prefer instead to describe the appearance of my characters. I'm willing to bend on this if i really want to join the RP, but it hurts.
 I also have no patience for fancy posting formats, because i feel like it's a lot of effort to go to and then i have this expectation to write something that fits the overblown nature of the format, but... well, i'm just uncomfy about it, you know? It feels very...presumptuous. The quality of my writing isn't so great that it deserves a crazy format.

How long have i been roleplaying? Well, i joined gaia in i think '06, and i'm pretty sure i started RPing there almost as soon as i found the forum. I don't remember what originally got me in to it, except that i guess the idea of it must have appealed to me. My early writing and characters are - as i'm sure you can imagine - something of an embarrassment to me now...

particular fond memories or experiences? Well, one time i joined a walk-in with this grody antagonist character I'd made up - they looked all nasty and ugly and wore a hood, their arms and face were covered in bandages, and they talked like a creepy old aged man and ate people. Anyways, she was a fun character to play, and went over remarkably well with the other RPers, for some reason. But what i didn't realise at the time was that the mainstays of the thread were all playing characters from the original My Little Pony show. by some miracle, i had never watched or seen any of that so much as once up to that point (though i knew, of course, of its existence), so here i was, for over a month interacting with these strange, childish characters (and people) who had put me and my character on this pedestal as some kind of literary genius, until eventually all the clues sort of clicked together and i was like "wait... are megan and tirek [i]from[/i] something?" and they were all like "watch this" and linked me, like, the entirety of this bizarre little show from the 80s or 90s - in german - with magical technicolored ponies...

so that was fun!
