Current Same kind of status as always from me. Just a little more drastic. Taking a break for reasons. Be back in a week or two if I'm feeling better. And sorry for the double post.

Seems like all my statuses are "Sorry if replies come slow or aren't great" lately. But, sorry if replies come slow or aren't great . Mental state keeps making writing a challenge.

To my partners and co-writers: Starting today I'm taking a much needed several days to a week long mental health de stress break. Im not dropping any games, I just need to rest a minute.

Bio

This user is a general waste of space. Capable-ish writer, generally able to write in the high casual to low advanced bracket when motivation strikes. Very much prefers a casual attitude about RP though, and is sometimes over-encumbered by life.

Ker-BUMP. Really looking to play one of my modern realism ideas, or something with the survivor/prepper/bugout/shtf kind of bend to it. REALLY.
In addition to some pirate stuff, I'd take a whack at any of these too if you think that'd be fun.
Another Bump. Still hoping for a hit?
Bumping this WAY after the fact, because I want to write again.
I'd like to hear about this as an M/F idea if you're still looking for that?
Hey everyone. First things first, User ID aside, you can call me Josh. Or whatever you like, really!

About Me


I've been writing for over decade now, which is arguably long enough to know better. But I can't help myself. I don't intend to brag on myself much, but I believe I can write pretty well. I'm quite literate. But, I can also be a tad lazy. 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.

Schedule wise, I do work a fulltime job, as well as keeping up a house. So I don't have the ability to post every day. A quality post every three to four days is about my speed, ad if I can't make that schedule, I'll do my best to let you know. Since I 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 were 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 my own slower pace.

Some of my favorite games 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. But effort is awesome! And I can't write well with people who don't want both my best, and their own.

And a last note, I really can't write at all in the first person. Third person please.




Notes on RP


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.

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.

Last but not least, the big one is communication. If we're in a game, 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.




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.

Roleplay Ideas


Emergency / Disaster / Survival Stories








these ideas can also be combined with some sort of occult and or sci-fi event happening to cause some of what is going on.




Medieval-ish Fantasy Stories


*** I am least likely to go for these ideas right now because of bad exeriences with them in the past. I am still in love with the plots but unless they spark real love and joy in you, I'd prefer we try something else first. ***










Other Stuff












In addition to those I also have some vague story-bugs dancing around in my brain that would require more development before I put them down on paper. But if you want to help me with any of that, I'll at least mention them. I do like plotting and world development so maybe you've got similar ideas we could smush up together?

Less developed plot ideas










Also, I have a ton of characters laying around that I just desperately want to get to play. So if you liked me, but not 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.
I'm interested to hear more?
-Bump- I got games started but they might have died I dunno? I'm particularly looking for some of the modern realistic ideas, either of the PI games, or some kind of expansion on the Alien abduction/ Alien crash idea? But I'd also like to hear YOUR ideas please if they relate at all to what I've got, or even if they don't... try me. Everybody gets one.
@Sierra I like the "All in a day's work" idea a lot, and I've got a ton of material for it, so here's hoping then :)
