¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not a Bad Slime
PLEASE DO NOT JUST DISAPPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION OR RP. TELL ME IF YOU JUST AREN'T FEELING IT. If you find that you do not want to rp with me as we're planning, just say so. Do not just suddenly stop responding.
- About Me
-
I am over 20 years of age with approximately 10 years of writing and 7 years of rping. I live in US Eastern Time (GMT -5:00).
I really like writing either steampunk or futuristic. I like writing scifi fantasy but will write anything except slice-of-life romance. I usually do original settings with a general basis in a western setting because that is the thing most people are familiar with. I do not use stock characters and make new characters for each rp, even if the plot and setting for the rp are exactly the same as another I have running.
I am ambivalent about using threads or pms. I prefer to use discord personally simply because my RPN notifications don't always appear right away. I can reply either daily or every other day depending on how long each reply is and how much real life will allow me to. If I will not be able to reply for two or more days, I will notify you. If I do not hear from you in over a week, I will drop things regardless of where we are. I will not be waiting around forever for a reply. - Writing Logistics

I have no particular preference for length of replies. 3+ sentences per reply would be nice but I'm not going to have a fit over 1 line responses so long as they say all that you want to say and MOVE THE PLOT ALONG. Please don't be repetitive just to make your reply longer. Saying "he did nothing" in three different ways accomplishes nothing despite being 3 sentences. Don't just stand there waiting for something to happen. Obviously, action scenes, dialogue, or interactions that rely upon both parties will have shorter sentence counts than those of expository posts, so just know that context determines post length and it should be fairly intuitive.
In general, I would say a reply that is fewer than 10 sizeable paragraphs is preferable because at some point it seems like the words are just to increase the length and nothing more than that. General Rule of Thumb (that I go by): Dialogue is between 3 sentences and 2 paragraphs. Action posts can be under 3 paragraphs if it is an exchange between the two writers and can be as long as 6 paragraphs if it is just the one writer. Expository replies can be up to 10 paragraphs. These rules are not set in stone!
I would like someone who can reply regularly, preferably daily or every other day. My frequency will be a minimum of once per day with a maximum of 10 replies possible if I am on a roll and the responses are short. Please do not just disappear on me. I know life happens and understand that but it would be really great to have some notice. Drop me a message at your earliest convenience if you will be gone for more than a few days instead of me having to poke you and tell me if you just aren't feeling the rp; it happens and I won't get offended but just sitting there wondering why someone would vanish without saying anything stresses me out.
I do not mind if you use stock characters. I personally don't use stock characters so each new rp has its own unique characters with unique backstories, appearances, and names; however, I do use certain recurring personality traits: mischievous trickster looking to escape from an inane life, defiant youngster looking to prove themselves, shrewd strategist who is only interested in winning, among others. This is just my personal preference and does not mean that you should adhere. - Topics
-
I'm good with almost anything, just suggest a genre and I'm sure we can come to an agreement on the genre we will be writing within the parameters of. I also really love universe building down to the most precise details. In the case of Sci-fi, I like having technology that could plausibly work because I am a science nerd. I hope that if we decide to build a universe, our collaboration can make something great. My strengths in writing are sci-fi/futuristic and supernatural/fantasy.
No illegal sexual activities (bestiality, statutory, misconduct, etc.). No topics associated with recent traumatic events please! (eg. mass shootings, bombings, hostage situations, etc.)
Slice of life is not really my thing, as it usually only entails romance. I don't like forced romance or romance-centred stories. - RP Premise Ideas
-
--It was a short-lived mobile game in which you are randomly given an avatar to use to fight others. What happens when these avatars escape the game? (this draws on the webcomic Freak Quency)
--Demigods are real and due to some catastrophe or organisation they must band together.
--An isolated world is slowly crumbling but leaving is taboo; an invitation to leave is extended, what will happen next?
--A long-lived sorcerer was put into a slumber for a thousand years, how has the world changed? For what reason was he imprisoned
--A full-dive rpg game has a glitch. (this can be taken in multiple directions like SAO, .hack, or related series)
--A world in which the current governing body is corrupt due to either a hostile takeover or the gradual fall of a dynasty and the people are beginning to revolt
--A world in which people with abilities/mutations are pitted against one another in a battle royale for the entertainment of normal humans (this draws on the series Deadman Wonderland if anyone's heard of that)
--An evil force has been released due to the negligence of those in power and now adventurers must be sent out on a quest to find a way to defeat the evil before it destroys the world

High Fantasy x Futuristic Technology
I don't usually do fandom, although I may draw on some ideas here and there. If you can make a strong case, I will consider it because I know a lot of fandoms. I do not play canon characters from fandoms.
Please PM me if you are interested!
