Roleplaying Deluxe

[Catatonia]

I'm not sure on the protocol of this forum; so I may as well introduce myself, and my criteria for fellow gamers.

I am a writer. In the real world, I have three published children's books and a contract for a novel. Online, I write slash (m/m), het and gen. I have role played extensively within different communities, and spend no less than two hours online per day, excepting weekends. I really enjoy roleplay, but have a few pet hates: bad grammar, weak characterisation and Mary Sues.

Which leads me to my second point:

If the idea of roleplaying deluxe (tight plot, good writing, well paced action, accurate grammar) interests you and you would like to be involved, please
email me with a 500 word or so composition. Either an example of past roleplay posts, writing, or a thoughts about the history and personality of an imaginary character. Call it an audition

This may seem presumptuous, given that this is my first post to the community, but I'm so tired of roleplaying with people who can't spell and don't care, who switch perspective or point of view unknowingly, or who create Mary Sues.

God! I sound up myself, don't I! *muses* Sorry about that. But I wanted to make myself clear, and I am sure there are others out there that feel similarly.

So, email me - I promise to reply with all the exciting goodies I have in mind!

Look everyone!! A real live writer is taking auditions!! WOWZEE!!

Do you have any height/weight requirements or can any ol' troll apply?

 

[Catatonia]

Oh trolls are what are I love best

*sighs*

Yes, I know I sound like a conceited pimp in the above post: but I as I have not *proven* myself in this forum by endless posts/intelligent opinion, I thought I'd do the lazy thing and flash my credentials.

Yes, of bloody course I sound like wanker.

Any ideas as to how I should have asked?

A real live writer? Where? What's a het? A Mary Sue?

Generally speaking, we conduct these things on the board in the form of an OOC thread.

Some of us, like myself, have impeccable writing abilities. I have adorably fabulous grammar, I rarely misspell, and my characters are very fascile, imaginative, and don't follow the traditional ripped from one of the plethora of TSR gamer manuals character design. I can even write good description without using adverbs.

I suck at RPGs though. Though, and some will agree, I am very good with dice. *smirk*

I don't do email.

Why not take a look around at the board, peruse it at your leisure even. As you go, make a list of people that you feel wouldn't mess up your roleplaying experience. PM them and ask them if they'd like to join your game.

That's after I edited, too.

I second that idea SD, that would be the better way to do it. But just be aware of the time difference that exists in the world of Lit, it has been the downfall of many a good thread.
