How active are you?:
Generally, I’m pretty active. However, I am somewhat busy at the moment, as I have a lot of things going on right now. I still spend plenty of time on here- I usually try to at least check once every day. As for roleplaying, I tend to write a whole bunch off the bat, and then will slow to maybe once or twice a week, if not longer. If I am really, genuinely interested, I will have a speedier pace, so it also depends on the roleplay/roleplay partner.
What topics do you like?:
I have quite a few different topics. Like you, I favor stories with fantasy elements, but I also really like sci-fi and steampunk. I have a lot of interest in writing stories with horror elements, but I find that’s a ‘me thing,’ so I generally don’t try to create stories with horror elements unless all parties are aware of that. That said, here’s a list of things I find fun to write about:
- Characters with superhuman abilites
- Magical/mystical (things like astronomy but more interesting, witches, tarot cards, farmiliars, shapeshifting, the like)
- Stories with dragons/other fantasy animals (not playing as them, but with them)
- Angst. Lots of angst
As for actual topics, I can do just about anything, though if I don’t like your premise, I will tell you. I think all of the topics you offered were very interesting, so it's honestly whatever you prefer. If you’re indecisive, of course, I can do that. I have a full list of topics in my blog, which I’ll link later in this response.
Why do you want to write with me?:
I’ve been looking for a more “fulfilling” roleplay partner as of late. I left the site a while back after losing interest. Before that, I was in one of the few roleplays that I was really invested in (and still kind of am, even if we don’t write in it anymore.) Most of my other roleplays make me lose interest very quickly. I find myself adding most of the ideas and pushing the plot forwards, much more than the other person. I also am very particular about writing; I feel it has to be very neat and organized and find it hard to write with partners who are semi-literate or lower, especially those who don’t format their posts.
I also was intrigued by your stance on romance. I do not particularly even like a lot of romance in my stories- not until much later on in the story, if the characters work, and the pairing seems intriguing. I am very much into slowburn-esque stories.
Anything I should know?:
There’s probably a lot, to be honest. Most of it is in my blog, but I will define a few aspects of my writing style right now just so you are aware. My blog has a much more comprehensive list of my roleplaying style, but here are a few things that you should know before you get your hopes up or whatever.
1. Most of the characters I play are LGBTQ+ Even if the roleplay does not start out intending to have romance, I write better characters when I am writing queer characters. I will usually not compromise on this front, because I find many cishet roleplays boring.
2. I am very… verbose. My style of writing is long and detailed, though I try not to focus on anything that’s not important. As you’ll see in my writing example, I tend to write a lot, especially if properly motivated. I tend to only write what I feel needs to be written (unless the response is short enough to not hold anything substantial, in which I will push myself to write more.)
3. I focus a lot on creating characters, and pushing for character growth. This means my roleplays usually move along very slowly. I don’t like rushing things or half-assing them, and I use a lot of symbolism and allusion and foreshadowing in my writing, and take my time to craft interesting characters and plots.
4. I try to be humble about this, but I will be completely honest- there are very few people who I have ever met on here that really meet my standards for writing. It usually isn’t a big issue, but I still expect an amount of literacy and organization that, while not exactly mirroring, does its job at keeping interesting and organized.
5. Finally, you mentioned sensitivity to certain topics. I always try to be very open about content and triggers when writing, as well as things I’m just generally not interested in, so I will make sure to tell you about anything that might trigger you. That being said- a lot of my writing and characters have more mature themes and backgrounds. If you are planning on writing with me, then it would be helpful for me to know a list of things you are sensitive to (if you are comfortable giving one to me.) I also have a few things that I am sensitive to in writing, which I can inform you of if you wish to pursue me as a partner.

Writing Example:
My best example of writing, and probably one of my favorite roleplays, comes from this one [x] I did with ASomeonePerson a little while back. (Just so you know, it deals with some heavier topics, but they’re mostly only hinted at in the responses.) This is also the roleplay that broke the forums and had to be remade twice (thank god I write all of my responses in Google Docs beforehand) so if you’re willing to put up with all of this, I’d love to have you as a partner. Contact me as needed through my DMs and I will reply shortly (or just do it on here if you’d like.)
(If you want more examples of my writing, here is my most recent roleplay that I have written in: [x])
