Hello fellow Menewshans! I'm known here as TeeJayeDee, which if you must know is just my initials spelled out a bit. I am looking for some literate-to-advanced roleplayers who have some overlapping interests with me. Feel free to do a little search on my username in the Private Roleplays forum to sample some of my work.
I won't outline specifically what I am looking for as a requirement from you, simply because saying literate-to-advanced should really be enough of an explanation.
As to what I'd like to play, I'll start by saying while I love doing fan based roleplays, I am not much of a fan of replaying the canon characters from the stories I am a fan of (the one exception is the fact I get a real hoot out of playing Captain Jack Sparrow on occasion, and I'm told I am quite good at it), simply because I don't want to rewrite the stories that I am so fond of.
I'll list some of my recent anime exploits that I am a fan of and from their genres and tone, you'll get an idea of my favored range:
Read or Die
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Inuyasha
Azumanga Daioh
S-cry-ed
The Slayers
Serial Experiments: Lain
Hellsing
Chobits
Steel Angel Kurumi
Girl Genius
Star Wars Clone Wars Era
What I will not do:
Sexually explicit scenes (nothing worse than what you could catch on your favorite daytime soap opera)
Yaoi (it holds no interest for me at all)
With the exception of Azumanga Daioh, any school setting that doesn't involve something deeper than that ( i.e. Hogwart's, Xavier's School for Exceptional Children, etc.) Those I'll do, but if the lead up to your pitch is (She's the most popular girl at X High School and he is the geeky nerd. Will he ever get her attention?) Sorry, going through high school once was enough of that for me.
In conclusion:
I more often do my own settings rather than fan based ones (it just seems to turn out that way), and am a semi-professional author. I've sold stuff, just not enough regularly for it to be my sole source of income.
I often work for long stretches at once, but if I am going to be away from a thread for more than a day or so I will PM you to let you know when you can expect a post from me. I've a lot of patience for people being away, but disappearing for over a week at a time might just make me quit looking to see if you posted again yet.
Thanks for your attention!
