Look at me, I’m Sandra Dee
Hi! I’m hoping someone might be interested in a historical roleplay. I have several ideas.
-I’m 27 so I would prefer to roleplay with someone above the age of eighteen. I like to deal with mature subjects that I simply do not feel comfortable writing with someone underage.
-That said, of course, we’ll fade to black. I’m sure sex between our characters will be inevitable (some of my characters are prostitutes), but when things get too steamy, we cut to afterward.
-I like detailed roleplays, at least 4-5 paragraphs per response, though more is great! Please be able to respond every few days, at least. However, more is preferable. I should be able to respond once a day, at least.
-I prefer to play females, and my preferred pairing is MxF. The role I would prefer is in bold.
-I have plenty of ideas listed below. They’re mostly basic outlines, though I do have other ideas for them. I love working together and brainstorming ideas.

Finally I have one more idea that isn’t quite as fleshed out, and would require a lot of brainstorming on both of our parts. It would center around a private detective and his secretary (whom I would prefer to play).
