Hello Kyra (interesting choice of username. . . where does it come from, etymologically?), and welcome!
It looks like I am only the like third greeter to welcome you to our humble abode here at Roleplay Gateway (Unless yet someone else, like, say, Brittany or Robert, beats me here by typing faster. Which happens. Quite often, actually.)! (I've been first for the last FIFTEEN newbies here! Except the other twelve where someone else beat me. . . But there WAS a straight chain of fifteen new members whom I was the first to greet! Lucky me! ........*cough*cough* Ahem. On to my welcome message.)
My name is Ylanne (makes a spiffy username too! ---> ), and I am the site's resident crime writer. I'm also an editor and part-time teacher. As one of the site Mentors (blue usernames ---> ), you should feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions, problems, suggestions, or requests in regards to the site, your roleplaying, and/or your writing. I would be happy to help you in any way I can, in any way necessary or desired. I respond to all queries within 24 hours. Because you are new to this site, I highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity!
I prefer modern/realistic roleplay, and especially character-driven stories (so basically literary work, same as you describe), but am open to almost anything. The only setting I will never do under any circumstances whatsoever is cybering, or inclusive of sexual content beyond what is seen in a PG-13 film. I tend to be advanced/literate and write upwards of 500-750 words on average per post, so I expect the same from most others, though I see you too tend to write as much. However, semi-literate also appeals to me, so two paragraphs can work well too. If you're interested in private roleplay, just drop me a line. (You can email me at ylanne @ sorrows.tk (remove the spaces), but don't send any attachments, or your email will go unopened).
Feel free to check out the links in my signature. I have an interest check you might like - a warning though: it's all modern and realistic settings. That being said, here's hope you have a wonderful time here! The folks round here are great (well, 99.5% of them, about 99.5% of the time. See Discussion and Debate board area for examples of not so greatness). You can find practically everything here that you've ever imagined or could want to write, read, or roleplay - and if you for some crazy reason you don't see it, feel free to create it. We encourage creativity - it's the reason the site exists. Other than Eric having way too much free time on his hands!
Blessings and peace,
Ylanne
Summer 2012 leadership opportunity for college students on the autism spectrum!
Click for details!Jan. 2012: I'm researching roleplaying and need
any roleplayers to take an anonymous
survey. It takes an average of 25 minutes. This is part 1 of 2. The second survey will be released soon.
"Funny you should mention prisoners: This afternoon we were talking about playing out a hostage situation in the bar and we were like 'only Ylanne would play the victim.'"
