Long term, short term, male or female – this foolproof method is guaranteed to win you some roleplay partners. All you need to do is follow these 5 simple tips, and people will be flooding your PMs! Amazing![/center] [color=#d1a9c2][h3]#1: Don't actually read this int. check[/h3][/color] Honestly, you can just look at this, glance through it, and decide that counts as reading the thread. Just skip over the rest of this shit, go to the part about sending me a PM, then go ahead and do that. People LOVE when you do that. ( : Alternatively, leave a comment here telling me to PM you. I like that even better.

It's not like you came to my thread or anything. No, no, I just wanted unsolicited offers of things I'm not interested in such as: feet fetishes, brainless characters, and plots that bore me to tears.

As a writer, I would like to be reminded over and over again that I need to put in my best personal effort for grammar and spelling. I wouldn't know to do so otherwise, so truly, thank you. Also make the list of rules longer than the roleplay itself, I love that. Mmf.

Yeah, that's not weird [i]at all[/i]. God forbid if someone wants to take a break from writing for a week or something.

All you have to do is advertise your 18+ master/slave anime harem idea and you'll be drowning in roleplays.

I'm Chai, like the tea, and welcome to my 1x1 interest check. If you're reading this, let's hope it's because you know I'm totally fucking with you right now. Let's also hope it's because you're into roleplays that aren't some cliche pairing or plot that's been (badly) done over and over again. And by that I mean, let's hope you aren't into the stereotypical shy girl falling-in-love, slice of life thing, because I'm totally over that. Other than that, I hope you had a good laugh! I'd like to think I'm a pretty chill, laid back roleplayer with little to no rules. I don't like classifying myself on writing level, especially because a lot of that is tied to post length. I can write over 2,000 words and also as little as 200 words depending on what feels right for the scene and context, but if I was forced to put myself in a box, it would be in the 'Advanced' grouping. Mostly what I'm looking for are co-writers who are able to craft well-written and entertaining posts that move the story along at a lively pace. [color=#87CEEB]WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:[/color] [list][*]Male / female / non-binary / octopus / toaster oven writers. Gender doesn't matter to me [*]Creative writers who value collaboration and development. [*]People with a sense of humor who like to chit chat every now and again. [*]No-stress roleplayers who just like to have a good time. [*]Writers that don't keep or follow some asinine, arbitrary paragraph requirement. Good writing is good writing regardless of length. [*]As a personal rule, I prefer to roleplay with those who are adults, so 18+[/list] [color=#87CEEB]WHAT I CAN GIVE YOU:[/color] [list][*]Versatile writing style that mixes it up between long and short(er) posts. [*]A post per week, maybe more, but no guarantees. [*]Ideas and scenes for plot progression. I love RP planning. [*]I'm extremely low maintenance. No crazy terms and conditions. I don't care how long it takes you to reply to the roleplay. [*]I don't care if you drop without notice. Shit happens, I get it. If you ever want to come back, you're more than welcome to. [*]Very open-minded individual with little to no roleplaying limits.[/list] [color=#87CEEB]MY INTERESTS:[/color] [list] [*]Action/adventure [*]Murder mysteries [*]Fantasy (high fantasy, low fantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal/occult) [*]Sci-fi (dystopian, near-future, space operas) [*]Modern settings [*]Historical settings [*]Dark/intense themes (violence, murder, substance abuse, criminal activity, etc.)[/list] [u][b]NOTE:[/b][/u] Romance is rare and will only be written within context of another genre. None of this, "U play the slave grill to my master boi." Gross. [color=#87CEEB]IDEAS[/color] [hider=some quick and shitty ideas] 1) [b]Drug cartel drama on the Texas/Mexico border.[/b] Either of our characters join a rival cartel to take revenge on another cartel that killed their partner/family/whoever. The character would grow to be one of the top players in the drug industry. Ideally this would (understandably) include a lot of gun violence, profanity, and drug use. 2) [b]Psychic and detective work together to solve a string of murders[/b] across the country (or state, if country is too ambitious). A lot of drama, action, and mystery. Maybe the murderer is just some sick fuck who escaped from federal prison. Perhaps the killings are the result of a new mystery cult movement, who knows. 3) [b]Some of kind elite secret society thing?[/b] Think conspiracy theories along the lines of the Illuminati, Skull and Bones fraternity, Bohemian Grove, etc. Maybe our characters are trying to uncover them, or maybe they're trying to join this elite society. I was thinking this could involve some kind of political or corporate drama as well. 4) [b]A parody roleplay where we take every cliche or overused element and cram it into a comedic story.[/b] Maybe it starts with "Once upon a time" and a shy girl/bad boy dynamic, and we just start dropping in ridiculous story arcs with vampires, werewolves, stereotypical NPC's, school life, the appearance of a dark lord, and others. 5) [b]Some kind of modern Greek mythology thing.[/b] I'm not a huge fan of the standard academy/school type setting for demi-gods, but I'd be okay with a general college setting or some other device to get our characters to run into each other. 6) [b]Something Harry Potter related[/b], but using original characters and an alternate timeline, or having the story set in the future after the events of canonical Harry Potter. 7) [b]Assassin's Creed-ish?[/b] I love the idea of timelines and generations interacting through memories. I also love the idea of mixing in historical scenes or alternate history. Bonus points if it's Tudor/Medici/Valois Renaissance, 1800's America, or 1920's. And of course, the added adventure and action to top it all off. [/hider]
