So hi!

I'm Dave. I'm a 32y/o roleplaying veteran, and I've been rping since I was 14 or so- first on Neopets, and then on various internet forums and internet mediums. Maybe you knew me, even. Maybe not.

I usually write in first person past tense (I looked at her, she looked at me, etc), and I'd prefer if you did, too. I might consider third person if you ask very nicely, but it's a rare occasion that I'll do it.

I consider myself 'literate', and can write several paragraphs per post or reply or whatever. Though length does vary, I prefer to keep things at 3-5 per pop, so events can keep moving swiftly, and we don't get bogged down in unnecessary filler details that do nothing whatsoever to drive the plot along. Sometimes I might write a shorter amount, depending on energy levels or whatever, but I'm usually pretty consistent.

I'm willing to give most genres a go, but I prefer slice of life stuff, modern day fantasy, historical fantasy, Victorian fantasy, science fiction (see a pattern here?), pretty much any kind of fantasy. Low or high doesn't matter, but I prefer things to be in some way not the norm at all, even if it might seem normal for the characters.

Speaking of, I prefer to play my own gender, but I can play female if it's necessary to the plot; if I do play female, I'd prefer us both to be playing that. I don't do mxm at all. I prefer to focus on two characters, bringing in others when needed, but I'm open to other alternative ideas too.

I prefer the slow-burn romantic kinds of plots, with lots of character development, gratuitous adorableness, and lashings of angst and emotional turmoil. I'm not a huge fan of gore for gore's sake, or sex for sex's sake, but if it makes sense in context, I'm all for it.

I have a few ideas floating round, and some more in my head that haven't yet been written anywhere. At the moment, I've got a few everyday ideas, a couple or three involving people with superpowers, a couple of Fantasy things, and some miscellaneous stuff, too.

I'm around most of the time- though I am in GMT, so please bear that in mind, and can reply pretty regularly, and will attempt to match whatever I'm given in terms of quality, length, etc.

I prefer to use Discord or something similar, Please don't send me messages on Reddit chat- I don't use it, and I will totally miss your messages.

I look forward to hearing from whoever this might interest!
