{Hello, I am >Currently Looking, Most likely heading to bed shortly if not already there< }

I'm going to get right to the point, though this won't be short and sweet. I get very bored after work, and I try and find something to do. Roleplaying has been one of my favorite past times, and though I may be rusty, I'd like to get back into it. Also, if there's anything against the rules here, please do let me know, I've read through but sometimes I do miss.

What I have/am:
*Time-frame: (roughly I try to be online at least once a day)12-3am central time and sometimes 9am-1pm central. >Also, as it is already starting to snow and ice, there may be several days when I cannot be online. If I manage to get even a small sliver of net time, I will alert you.
*Flexibility: I can play all sorts of creatures (human, naga, mimi, elf, ect) and either gender, with different personalities. I will NOT play as anything but an original character (i.e. I am not playing as Goku, Inuyasha, ect) and I'd rather you play with originality as well. I can also play different time lines, fantasy, and so forth.
*Length: I'd rather not do one-liners. I can do semi to multi para form, I do spell things wrong once in a while (I use spell check when available) and sometimes my grammar may be off. Please deal with it.
*Understanding: You have a life, I have a life. I know things come up, weather, family, ect. If you aren't on every single day, that doesn't matter. Take your time. I'd rather you spend a day thinking up a decent post rather than you rush through it and make it into something you dislike.
*Respect: If you do not like how I play, please just tell me. But do not flame. Let's follow the rules. If something begins to get a little to 'adult' for the forum, we could message for find another way to continue, I do have an instant messenger or two.
*Few Limits: I play guy or girl, yaoi/yuri/het (we would move to other areas should it get too adult), fantasy, medieval, modern, futuristic, just say what you want.

I am nowhere near the greatest role-player in the world. But I am entitled to pick and choose, as are you. Please do not think me full of myself, I'm simply stating what I want, and what I can do.

Rules:
*You may post and/or message me. If you message me, please post a 'sample post' showing what you're made of. Please only send one message however.
*Please post your preferences/ideas/wants as many as you want, but try and limit it to one post, which you may edit at any time. If you find someone else that you like, you may message them if they allow it, do not start long conversations in here please. I would like to look through here later.
*Understand I do not have to play with you. If I say 'no thanks' you are free to offer up other ideas.
*No fan role plays!
*Follow the Community's rules as well as any rules we set up for our roleplay.
*Post as much as you can but do not one line. Use double parenthesis ((when in roleplay to ooc (out of character) and single for anything else. (example: >Maurice walked through the door and stared at Lou (the way a cat does to an injured mouse) smiling.< but can be used for anything other than ooc but are not necessary.)

>sample<
The house was quiet save for one, single windowed room. The walls were ivory and the floors covered in tarp. Paintings and white canvas littered the walls and floor, along with tubes of acrylic and watercolor paints and brushes. A red messy headed female wearing an artist's smock and apron stood in front of an easel, canvas loaded and determination in her sea green eyes. Erratically the woman's wrist flicked, sending streaks of paint across the near white canvas before her. A softly playing record sang out it's tune in the room. The music popped and cracked with it's age, though did much to inspire the budding artist. Red, green, teal, violet. The colorful lines melted into one another and the canvas, much like the artist, welcomed their beauty. Her intention was to capture what she felt. The colors symbolized her thoughts and joys, while the sharp lines and specks of paint that strayed from the brush's bristles proved the speed at which she was painting came from the passion she wanted to bring out. Surely someone would see the finished piece and think 'What a fantastic woman this artist was' and she would find happiness in the speaker's arms. Stopping to think about the possibility, she laughed gently and shook her head. "Maybe I should take a break.." Setting her paintbrush and pallet on the table beside her, she wiped her hands on her apron.

}Also, thank you for taking the time to read everything, it meant you were serious{

I do like your set up here, and the fact that you know the kind of partner(s) that you want. However, I would very much like to point out that sometimes one-liners happen, and it's better to post a one-liner than to force out a longer post that one or both players will be unhappy with because forced posts are rarely enjoyable.

Just as you said that you would rather have someone take the whole day to come up with a good post rather than rush it, I would rather have a few one-liners here and there than have someone force out a bigger post just because they don't want to make a small post.

I do hope that I'm awake enough right now that that made some sense.

We're both in the same timezone, and I'm usually online during all of the hours that you listed.

Now, if you reply to a person in this thread, are they allowed to reply back to you? Or not? You said you wanted them to only post once. =S

Anyways, no matter. I'm looking for a slash (male x male) roleplay, perhaps a hurt/comfort, a teacher/student, or assassin/psychologist. There are several other things that I would love to try out, which are listed in my own roleplay request thread.

Please let me know if you're interested at all. I would also really love to know what types of roleplays you would like to do right now. If you decide to roleplay with me, I would be willing to roleplay things other than those that I've listed.

I do love your sample post, except that I noticed places where it could've been divided into separate paragraphs.

Thank you Insane Cricket for taking the time to read through my post. Let me try and address each question/comment as best as I can.

First off, yes, I do know one-liners happen. I prefer quality over the amount of characters and sentences put into a post. However, I was referring to the general amount. I would rather not roleplay if the turns are a single line or only a few each but I would rather do a single sentence than force a whole paragraph of crud haha.

If someone replies to another, they may reply back. However if things begin to go off topic of roleplaying, or get too far into the conversation, the subjects need to take the conversation into private messages or a new thread simply to babble it out. Pretty much a: "Hey do you want to roleplay?" "Sure" And the two go off into their own messages and threads to continue there, not discuss it through this one. The only reason I would say something like that is so when I return to this thread (as i'm often at work or sleeping) I don't have to search through pages for something directed towards myself. Makes it a little easier on me.

I can do male pairings. Though as mentioned if you wanted adult content (I am fine either way) certain scenes may have to be played out in private messages or something. I searched through the rules but that section wasn't clear if such things are allowed in plain view of anyone on the site.

But I am interested. I can play either side, the gruff kind of guy, or the sweet kind, ect. I've done teacher/student from the teacher's side before, never thought of the assassin/psychologist.

Sometimes I group things together that could be split when I get into it. I realise I could've spread the post out a little, but I was tired and wanted to get the thread up before going to bed.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Did you read my PM? ._.;

Alright, I was trying to make sure that you would allow peple to respond if you replied to them in this thread, because it seemed like that wasn't allowed.

And actually, this site is very clear on whether or not adult content is allowed. It's a PG13 site, therefore, it isn't allowed, and it's not even supposed to take place in private messages. So I would suggest that you always use a messenger or an adult forum for those adult bits.

I prefer not to get too into adult scenes unless over MSN, simply so I don't have to risk getting kicked off any websites. Though I really prefer the 'black-out method' in general.

Is there anything in particular you'd like to roleplay?
