Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Nevermore on Thu Dec 11, 2008 3:36 pm

A little about me, aside from the generic/obvious "Hi, I'm new to this forum" -

I started RPing in 1997, in AOL chat rooms; yes, that makes me old(-ish).
What began with my main character [my all-time favorite] soon progressed to four other full-timers, plus a dozen or so more that had bit pieces, usually lasting only a few months at a time.
In the last few years I've taken to long hiatus's primarily because I can't seem to find the right combination of quality RP plus the ability for others to understand that RL does take precedence.
During my RP-hiatus times, my creative energies have been geared toward short stories, poetry, drawing, painting, etc.

I tend to play non-modern fantasy. I lean towards humans, elementals, magic, things like that.
I have an affinity to vampires, dark mages, warewolves, the like ;) . Therefore, many of my characters reflect this.
I don't usually play realism, modern or fandom but might be persuaded ;)
I don't [note the lack of 'usually'] play anime.

So, there's my little novelette.


Peace,
Nevermore
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.' - Poe , The Raven

-- If you think I'd fit into a certain game, link me ;)

You'll find plenty of threads and like-minded Rpers, in so far as your tastes are concerned.

(also, *werewolves. teehee, I'm a meanie, I know. It's my job, as a mean person!)

I started out in AOL chatrooms as well. Oh, Red Dragon Inn, how many 13 year olds began sitting in rafters in your dusty interior...

Anyway, before you go running around, remember to read the Rules, Manual, and scroll through the Newb Guide. Also important is the OOC/IC announcement.

Catch you later!
I am available as an RP mentor should you seek to improve.
I draw things that you may like.
I like Ronald Jenkees and you might, too.

I require a certain level of writing skill in my stories. Don't be insulted, I just prefer to RP novel-level material. (I, I, I, me, me, me. I sound like such a jerk.)

Welcome to the forum Nevermore, the entire welcome committee will probably be around shortly. Just wait until you're presented with a fishy stick . . . oh the horror.
When the end seem to justify the means, you've tried too hard to find an excuse. When 'by any means necessary' means 'violence may become necessary' you've lost sight of your goal. When people lay down and die rather than endure any more suffering, worry for the state of humanity. When people do not comment on how wrong this is, become angry at the world, because feeling that upset is too hard to bare. When people say 'you care too much' don't answer, because there is no such thing.

The true horror was to log back in only to find that an 'a' had made it's way into a word a secondgrader could have spelled correctly! heh.
No point in editing. ::hangs head in shame:: [ j/k ! ]

I can spell - Oh really, I can. [orly ! ugh. ]

Anyway, Thanks to you both for the welcoming.

ThatsNotPoetry :
I think the rafters should have won an award for keeping up all that weight.
They were definitely overused, same goes for the seventeen dark corners each Tavern had ;) .

Oh, the wonderful memories.
Seriously, I did like it there.


Peace,
Nevermore
