Greetings and good day / evening to all.
Call me Col, or C, or Hey You - I answer to a lotta things (ha!).
Amazing place; I'm still looking about, so don't mind me if I'm poking around!
I've been Roleplaying/Writing for almost 10 years (mainly online game-based or chat/IM based).
I'd say it's impossible for me to pick a favorite RP genre, but that's a bit of a fib. I'm a fan of sci-fi - apocalyptic worlds, cyberpunk (light), space-settings, with or without mutant/alien/magic powers. Modern or traditional "historical" settings with light-to-heavy fantasy styling are also something I'm comfortable writing. Established worlds (so fanfic setups) are ok, depending on the fandom. (I am woefully light on my fandoms, though.
)
My General Gaming/Writing Style:
- I'm much more open to free-form and go-with-the-flow style writing/role-playing styles over dice use.
- Everything needs a dash of music - and the playlist can totally change the entire mood of the scene!
- I'm down for complex stories or longer plots; slow burns are great.
- A darker psychological NOPEVILLE is good for the soul once in a while; horror/gore not so much.
- I write in third person past tense pretty much exclusively.
Tip? Don't be afraid to communicate out of character with your writing partners! Speak up respectfully, clearly, often, and define your ideas, your boundaries, and your obstacles. Ask for help or ideas if you get stuck. RP is about taking the plunge to create the story you all want and enjoy building. Immersion is great, but not at the expense of lack-of-communication and disregarding peoples' boundaries.
When I'm not gaming/writing or plotting my next concert adventure, I'm working too much.
Peace y'all. Have an amazing evening. Look forward to connecting with some writers/gamers soon.
PS - Found y'all through Google Search.
