Thoughts and Imaginings
A Person
basics
First things first, if you want to role-play with me, I must ask for some patience and flexibility. I have not role-played in a long time. I also do not have much time to role-play—perhaps a post on Thursday, Friday, and a bit more on the weekdays. If that will not work for you, I wish you luck on your search.
If you are willing to lend me some patience, here are a few more things to consider: I am willing to play male or female characters. I am also willing to play multiple characters. I am flexible and willing to brainstorm. I have role-play ideas in a post below, and if you want to mix and match those, take them apart, tweak them, turn them on their heads, I'm sure we can work on something together. You can pitch me any ideas or anything you've been craving or wanting to try. As to my actual writing abilities, they'll probably be really rusty. If at any point in time you just think to yourself, "This is terrible. I don't want to have a part of this anymore," just inform me, and again, I'll wish you luck in your future role-playing endeavors.
I sense you'll have an idea of my grasp of English grammar just based on this post. I don't care much for rigid, prescriptive rules as long as you make sense. Go ahead and end sentences with prepositions or start them with "and" or split your infinitives as long as you capitalize and punctuate properly and keep consistent tense. I do have one pet peeve, though, that tends to be common in many role-plays: cramming dialogue into one paragraph. Please start a new paragraph every time the speaker changes.
My post length varies widely, and I won't apologize for it. Introductory posts will be longer (500+ words) and so will posts that have similar introductory purposes (setting up new scenes, new characters, establishing past events, etc). More interactive posts will be shorter (200-300 words). Dialogue will most likely be extremely short, unless my character feels like monologuing. (I don't see the point of these being long. Natural human conversation is naturally fragmentary and highly interactive.) As a general rule, more interactive posts are shorter and less interactive posts will be longer.
