I'm guessing the other rp you're talking about is chat based rp? It's all fine and dandy, but it's too fast paced. One of my favorite hobbies is writting. Now, I'm not good enough, or maybe I am, and I'm not patient enough, to write books and sell em and stuff, but I'm been forum rping for a while now, and it's just so much better, imo, planning the perfect character for the perfect situation, or developing a random personality through a story seeing what comical mayhem we can get into.
I have no preferred gender, actually, the two toons I have here are female so far. I have no qualms about taking requests for a specific toon people want to see played in a story, it just adds to the challenge when it's not something I've played before. But yeah, shoot me ideas, and I always think about my toons in text, so my ideas can become contagious, spurring new strands of the virus. ;P
