Alright, so rather than continue petitioning for the chance to RP with people, I'll make you come to me. MWAHAHA! *ahem* I mean... <_<
Okay, I'm going to make this as quick as I can, because I'd very much like to get one of my ideas underway tout de suite! There's a lot of overlap with them because, well, it's winter and I want to write something set in winter. *shrug* I may add new ideas later, we'll see.
The specs:
-As per the 'Advanced' tag, please have competent SPaG.
-I'm male, but have no preferences on the sex of my fellow RPer.
-Over 18, ask you be the same.
-Romance: Welcome, but must be organic and never the point of the exercise.
-No interest in smut; fade to black.
-Swearing, violence, gore, sacrilege, all fine. ;)
-Quality > quantity, but I HIGHLY appreciate quick posters (1-3 days to a week), they keep my own motivation for a project going.
-Participate in the worldbuilding!
-Flexible w/ writing NPCs, gender, age (seriously, not everyone in the world is in their early 20s, people).
The one that sends 'em running:
I'm not the best at living up to my own posting ideals. :\ I like to use RPs as a way to hone my writing because it's what I want to do professionally someday, so I'm a perfectionist and can have difficulty hurtling a snag I've hit in a post for a little while. I'm also a bit of a slave to my creative whims and can't always immediately apply myself to a particular setting or reply; sometimes I'll stray from it for a few days or a even a week (gasp!) before I can get back 'into the zone.' Shared enthusiasm from the other party is usually the best medicine for any meandering or foot-dragging on my part, and my thought has always been a good partnership brings out the best in one.
And now, the good stuff!
Ideas:
1.) A prehistoric-style setting during the onset of an Ice Age. A tribe's soothsayer is their link to the gods, their ancestors and the hereafter. When one falls ill, an escort of stout young men and her retinue of handmaids are tasked with seeing her to a holy site for healing. But the journey is hard and treacherous and soon the only help left to her is the beardless young hunter with no great deeds to his name. (Fantasy/Adventure)
2.) A small crew of deep-space explorers respond to the SOS of a secluded colony/research outpost. When they arrive, they discover things have gone terribly wrong. Set on a wintry world. Underdeveloped idea. Inspired by the Star Trek TOS movie era (Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock & Undiscovered Country). (Sci-Fi/Horror?/Thriller)
3.)-Modern or near-future. In an isolated town in the mountains, a disaffected astronomer's bottled-up rage claims the life of the assistant who spurned him. As he attempts to hide the body, a strange meteor streaks the sky... and the dead girl begins to move anew under the guidance of a cunning alien intelligence. (Sci-Fi/Horror/Thriller) TAKEN
4.) Ambitious colonists travel far from home to drop anchor on the frigid shores of the uncharted north and mine the valuable new resources recently discovered there. But the locals, simple fisherfolk who keep largely to themselves, warn them not to rouse the anger of the demons that dwell within the mountains or the sleeping god they serve. Inspired by the Klondike Gold Rush, Red Dead Redemption, wuxia/samurai/ninja films, 8-/16-/32-bit games like FFS. (Fantasy/Drama)
5.) Modern/20th century. Strange goings-on in the storied hotel of a sleepy mountain town. Underdeveloped idea. Inspired by The Shining (Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick), The Silence (Ingmar Bergman). (Drama/Horror/Supernatural?)
