It's been... a very long time. I was a part of this forum a long, long time ago under a different username that's been lost to time. Gods I sound old. It has to have been at least 7 years? Maybe more? Probably more. Life happens and I've been away from RP since then. I'm rusty but I've never stopped writing completely. [img]https://media1.tenor.com/images/94dac8f33fea8a9e9c92a42b18ca46ac/tenor.gif?itemid=5372593[/img] The itch to tell stories with others has come back strong and I was tentative at first to dip my toes back in. It had been so many years! I started off by getting a grasp of the landscape. I swear back then there weren't half as many RP sites. There were too many options and I shied away. However, no matter what I did, I couldn't shake the itch. So I started again. Every website was so different. Some were over the top decadent, some were bare bones but hard to look at without straining my eyes. Then I remembered RPGuild and how much time I used to spend here. I have to say, loading up the page was like slipping on a comfortable well worn t-shirt. I did some scrolling through and it has not changed in the best ways. I immediately created a new account I'm so happy to be back ya'll! I'm a casual to advanced writer who prefers 1x1 RP with a lot of collaboration and plot. I'd prefer one long, well written reply a day or every other day rather than several hasty replies a day. I don't like to and will not rush my partner outside of enthusiastic teasing. I am a woman but you'll [i]mostly[/i] find me playing male roles. It's just my preference. I don't do any fandom RP, I prefer original ideas that fall into a LOT of different genres, though I shy away from full fluff. Fluff, in my opinion, isn't a bad thing at all it just has to be earned by the grittiness of the plot. Anyway, that's me! Can't wait to jump in!
