First off, the all-important literacy expectations we all hate to talk about. I am a writer at heart. I have been a writer for longer than I can even remember. When I write, I take it very seriously. Now, that doesn't mean I'm not silly and chatty OOC, because I totally am when I hit it off with someone. What it does mean is that I need a partner with as much love of the language as I have: someone who will use correct capitalization, punctuation and grammar; who can write posts that have both quality and a modicum of quantity (don't need constant novellas, but I need more than two tiny paragraphs); who knows the difference between possessives and plurals, "your" and "you're," etc. I am quite a stickler, and when I got my useless English degree, I didn't get it because I love the literary canon. Because...I don't. I got it because I love words (no kidding, eh?), and I love all the fascinating rules and nuances around them. Typos? Not a problem. Occasional mistakes? We all make them. Stylistic rule-bending? I'm doing it right now. Just...respect the language. Realize that it's just as important as the story it's trying to tell.
Along similar lines, I write SFW content. I love romance, and I love conflict and action in my fantasy and sci-fi adventures, but I'm more PG-13 than R-rated when it comes to my writing. Plenty of very good stories are neither Fifty Shades nor Saw V, and - quite frankly - we're not here for TV ratings; we're here to create compelling stories that make us laugh and cry and think. All that being said, I still prefer my partners to be over the age of 18. I don't want to risk crossing any line, and given that I'm well-established in my twenties, it's easier for me.
More often than not, my characters are female. However, I'm just as adept at male characters, and I'm more than happy to double as anyone of your choice, if you'll do the same for me. If your pick is the person I've listed as "looking for," then great - but I don't expect it, so best be prepared on both sides.
Please, for the love of Cruxis, do not ask me what medium I want to use for RP. I use tags in my titles for a reason, and when people ask me questions that I've obviously already answered, it's a pretty big turn-off; it means, or at least looks like, you didn't bother to actually pay attention.
Alright, list time. Topics are listed in order of preference. My character is in parentheses. A "%" means that I don't like OCs. When OCs are used in the others, I REQUIRE that a canon be played, as well.
Tales of Symphonia%(Raine)[Huge craving. Post-game, ignoring Dawn. Looking for someone to take/double as Regal.] Star Trek: Voyager(Janeway)[<3 Looking for someone to double as/take Chakotay. OR, alternatively, we could do something set 20 or so years after "End Game," in which case I'll be playing J/C's spitfire rebel of a daughter, and you can play whomever your heart desires.] Harry Potter Trio Era(OC teacher)[Feeling this, too. Defined as the period between Harry's birth and the end of the final book. Looking for someone to take/double as Remus Lupin.] Harry Potter Marauders' Era(Same OC as a student)[Again, Remus.] World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King(TBD)[Could use one of these, too.] Fullmetal Alchemist%(Riza)[Looking for someone to double as/take Roy.] Fullmetal Alchemist, post-series(Roy&Riza's OC daughter) Sherlock(Sherlock and probably an OC)[Convince me. Play John and your OC? Also, something set before season 3 would be preferable.] Right now, that's all I'm really looking for. If you're still with me, by some chance, feel free to toss me a PM. (: Thank you! (Please note that I do not respond to comment replies under any circumstances. PM only.)

Chances are pretty good that your first pick won't be the perfect character to pit against mine. If it is, well, dandy. But I don't expect it, so do come prepared if it's not!
Okay, I know we're all about being upfront about what we want but this is just really offputting to me. I guess it's the idea that the OP doesn't have to be at all flexible but the prospective partner does to fit OP's (very exacting) preferences.
