Hey everyone. First things first, User ID aside, you can call me Josh. Or whatever you like, really! Though, I'd prefer it were something nice.

About Me


I've been writing for well over decade now, which is undisputedly long enough to know better. But, I just can't help myself. I don't intend to brag on myself here, but I believe I can write pretty well. I'm quite literate, but I can also be a tad lazy sometimes. Somewhere in the range of three to five paragraphs is really where I'm comfortable now days, but if we really connect and I can push my muse, I'd love to be able to get back to the point I can write more, and better. Scheduling wise, I work a full-time job, as well as trying to work on a house. So I don't have the ability to post every day. A quality post every three to five days is about my speed. If I can't make that schedule though , I'll do my best to let you know, since I do love to talk and goof off with my partners OOC too.

About You?


I'm not the type to make hard set rules. But, knowing what I like in an RP might help you decide if you think we mesh well. First, I really enjoy the reading and writing aspect, so I'm looking for someone else who feels the same way. Posts that are the most fun to read are the ones that aren't too short, have detail, and carry the character's emotions as well as add to the plot. They're posts that I can tell you had fun writing. Also, since I mentioned my own schedule being hectic and my posts not being more frequent than 2 or 3 a week -or sometimes less- then I'm perfectly comfortable with, and in fact prefer someone who has their own things going on, and understands -even shares- my own slower pace. Some of my favorite roleplays have been with people who were learning my language as a second language. It's not about grammatical perfection, Hell, I've probably made some mistakes here in this post. Effort is awesome, and I feel it's a reflection of how engaged we are in a roleplay. That said, I'm not going to berate someone for simple errors either. As a last note though, I really don't enjoy writing in the first person for roleplays.

Thoughts on RPing together


Firstly, I enjoy playing multiple characters, so if you also did, that'd be great. There are way more than just two people in the world. My most main characters are usually male, as it's easier to be inside my own psyche. I'll have female characters as well though, especially as side characters to flesh out the settings. If you want romance in the story, let me say up front I'm really only any good and writing man and woman romance. Nothing wrong with any other kind, I just don't do it justice in writing. And, last but not least, the big one is communication. If we're writing together, and you're not happy, ask me to change something. That's cool. I'd rather work with that than lose a partner. If you just don't want to write with me any more, please let me know that, too. Talking about RPs though, tone is important. I'm not a fan of grimdark stuff. That said, I do enjoy grit, so dark moments that are uncomfortable to the characters are fine, as long as they don't overwhelm the whole RP. Fantasy is good. 'Dark fantasy' can become... no thanks?

Now, on to the good (at least in my opinion) stuff. The plots. I just can't get behind using just the word "pairings" really. Rather than figure out what two kind of characters we should lock ourselves into, I prefer to come up with story ideas, and then we can just be whomever we want in that story idea. I guess I should call these ideas 18+ for content. Not because of anything sexual, though. I'm fine if that happens, and also fine if it doesn't. But when I say mature, I'm referring to emotional and intellectual maturity.

Story Prompts












I also have a ton of characters laying around that I just desperately want to get to play. So if you think you've liked what you hear from me, but aren't into my plots, hit me up with your ideas and I'll see if I have anyone that fits them. Well, that's about it. Hopefully I hear from some of you.
