Hi there, I'm Darksidevoid (DSV, Dark, or Void for short)! I got my start RPing back during 2009-10, in a Bleach (the animanga by Tite Kubo) RP on a dedicated forum. After that one died an early death, I moved on to the next location I happened to find for play-by-post RPing, which was, of all things, the RPing subsections of the TVTropes (TVT) Forum. I've been more or less continuously RPing on TVT for the past 15 years, generally always in the format which here on RPGuild seems to be classified as "Advanced RP" (multiparagraph, stringent on good spelling, etc.), as shorter-form RP was unappealing to me. I've also been GMing RPs for the past ~3.5 years, beginning with the reboot of a RP which I was previously a player in, and then that sort of spiraled out of control as I took to helping with GM duties for several more RPs, most of which are still ongoing. Most of my RPing experience is what you'd call "fandom" RP, particularly multi-fandom crossovers, although I do sometimes dabble in purely OC-related RP.
I've looked through the RPGuild subforums and noticed a few RPs that are of interest and that I might want to join, but the main reason I'm signing up for RPGuild currently is because the possibility of the TVT mods deciding to simply nuke the TVT RP subforums on a whim has been looming over my RP groups for many years now, and I thought it would be good to have a backup in mind. That said, if anybody actually bothers to read the introduction posts in this subforum, I'm curious how kosher it would be to "transfer" a RP from off-site to this one, in the sense of having the posts of the RP on the prior site archived and downloadable while simply continuing the RP on this site.
