I was under the impression I'd already made a post here, must've been on a parallel universe similar thread or something. Anyway...
I prefer group RPs that have a serious plot behind them, with a preference for the depressing side. I don't mind comedy mixed in, it's often a great device to make depressing moments even more impactful as well, but if that lasts for too long, I'm prone to wanting to just move on with the main plot. I don't care much for romance, but if someone brings up having some kind of peculiar relationship with one of my characters (things like hatred, rivalry, admiration, trust, interest, etc.) that may end up developing further, they just have to convince me if fits the story and will make it better, and I just might accept since I'm all for character development and complexity.
I prefer fandoms for the great majority of the time, which mostly means anime and games, with one or two TV shows in the mix, that (can) fit the above criteria. When it's not fandom, I also like exploring alternate history, but this is limited to the japanese warring states (Sengoku) era. I don't mind either fantasy, realism or sci-fi, but I find that I sometimes will think "too futuristic" or "too much magic", which will reduce my interest.
Lastly, in more general terms, I like to see that the other players are dedicated and enjoying what's happening in the RP. They planned for it, and want to keep it alive. If something's not going smoothly, they'll try to reach a compromise, because they all want to continue. Also, it's pretty nice when I can imagine the RP happening as a game. Multiple possible routes/outcomes, character interactions changing their stats, personalities and affinity for the other characters, things like that, which are more blurred during the RP.
