[quote][color=f9ad81]Anyway. Hello, I'm Kel! I'm a 24 year old woman in EST (sorry if I'm disappointing any Scottish people who might've clicked for the cat, you've got fantastic myths and legends btw). I'm working full time in a position that alternates shifts, so I'll probably be pretty low activity.

You've probably already gathered that I enjoy roleplay and folklore, but I also like doodling birds, I'm interested in developmental psychology, and I'm possessed by the urge to go on a hike every so often. My all-time favorite band is Heart and Morrowind will stay the gold standard of storytelling in games forever imo, but I've been listening to a lot of Jethro Tull lately and I really enjoyed Unpacking. My favorite dish a tomatoes, spinach, and mushroom omelette.

In RP, I can vary between a 200 wc to a 3000 wc, depending how much exposition is required and whether I'm doubling or not. My Goldilocks zone is around six to eight paras, though. I have a problem where every new character I come up with is some type of elf so I typically do high fantasy, but I've dipped my toes in apocalyptic, sci-fi, and X-Men adjacent settings before. I don't write romance often, but when I do, I prefer it to be f/f, m/m, f/nb, or m/nb, or play the male in any m/f pairing.

It's great to meet you guys! If you'd like to, tell me a good aspect about your favorite book/game/movie/etc and an interesting fact I might not know in the replies. I'm looking forward to writing! c;[/color][/quote][/indent][/indent]
