Hey everyone

I'm normally pretty long winded, so I'll try to make this introduction as brief as possible. Anyway, a little history about me. I used to RP on forums a long time ago, then I moved over to chat based RP. Did that for several years, it was fun but... I'm not sure. For one reason or another I hit a funk, put myself into a rut. I tried RPing more but I couldn't seem to find many people who were around enough to RP, or the ones that were there just didn't interest me, or it was hard to get the kind of RP's I wanted. So I decided to go back to my roots, forum RP. I checked the forums I used to RP at but they were either gone, dying, small, slow to respond, or just too different from what I remembered. So, I decided today to start anew... hit up google by typing in "RP Forum" and expected to get a list of RP forums, instead I found you right at the top, or close enough. Looked in here and saw there seemed to be lots of activity here, and lots of people on. Seemed good enough for me... so here I am, making an intro post to a bunch of hopefully like minded people who enjoy writing as much as I do.

Anyone want to be my new friend? :) Or even if I'm too new or there's a bunch of cliques or I'm too long winded or whatever the case may be, maybe I can at least get pointed at in a couple directions for finding a good RP to get in on? Like I said I'm here to find RP so any help finding people to RP with or good stories I can join or even possibly help start one would be appreciated. Lets see... it'd probably help if I gave you some idea for what I'm looking for, or what my preferences are. Lately I've been wanting to do a few different styled RP's... but the places I was at really didn't seem to have many people like I said so I never bothered. Anyway, some ideas of RP I've been wanting to try are the following.

Interested Styles
Co-op= I'd rather work with people instead of fight everyone. That's kind of why I got tired of chat RP, people just wanna fight. Even though I'm really good at it, I'd rather do something non competitive.
Teams= Even if there's competition, I find RP's where at least there's opposing groups/teams better than a free for all.
Low posting delays= I prefer faster based RP's, like posting once maybe even more a day. Even if its once every couple days or so usually... as long as its not once every couple weeks :(
Larger Posts= I prefer RP's where the average posting length is "at least" a paragraph or two. If people start posting less than that it feels like they're just being lazy and not trying hard enough.
Creative= Even if an RP setting or plot has been done before, the right twist here and there or enough polishing can really make it stand out.
Open= I don't like scripted RP's much, sometimes people try and force a particular outcome in RP. I don't like feeling like what I have my character do doesn't change anything, or I'm limited in doing is just "part of the plan".

Interested Settings
Futuristic-apoc RP involving mechs= Anything from fallout to armored core and everything in between, just haven't seen a good one of those in awhile
Zombie-apoc RP= Survival-Horror type RP where its mostly characters versus the environment
Custom story in pre-made setting= I don't mind doing a unique RP in an already well known setting, say a book or a movie. Heck I've even done a really nice "pokemon"ish RP's before where one person played a monster and one person played a trainer. Don't have to start everything from scratch if the idea behind it is solid and fun.
Well defined fantasy RP with interesting plot/characters= Been doing too many fantasy RP's lately, but don't mind joining one that really shines
D&D Styled RP= not sure if that's possible on a forum but I've been interested in trying one. Always wanted to try some D&D online somehow but never got an opportunity to, even have a lot of books etc for it.
Reality bending magical/mystery RP= This one is kinda hard to describe, I ran a really good one myself a long time ago. Multiple worlds, merging realities, nothing being as it seemed.

Hopefully I didn't inadvertently upset anyone, I'm told sometimes I can be a little too picky or rude with how blunt I can come off. If so, I apologize, I'm really not an elitist if I came off as one. I'm just looking to make some friends and find some good quality RP that I can either join in on or perhaps start and find people interested in. Anyway, it's good to meet you all :)
