Hello all!

I've been searching for a safe haven to RP for some time now and finally stumbled here. Lately I've tried to post on other sites for RP search but found it hard to navigate some of the newer generations styles and tools (discord and such) and most are mainly looking for explicit content, which personally isn't what I ever write.
I hail from the days of yahoo! chat groups and MSN groups for the RP fix. I love world building and deep backstories. I write as an experience to further develop our characters. I write more of a story format than random back and forth and slow burn/long term RPs are my jam.
I always appreciate when someone is able to help participate back and add to the story, not just react to what I've written. I do write in paragraph format, third person and enjoy high fantasy to fantasy-modern with OCs. I usually roleplay with a select few people I have grown with online but life and family have slowed it to a halt. I've been out of the game so long that there's new terms I'm not even aware of and rules, perhaps? I have obligations outside of my writing, so repsonces may not be daily. My grammar is not perfect but I do try to revise and catch my typos.

Sorry for the lengthy post :) I do hope to jump into a RP soon but may linger some time first, to grow accustomed to how this site works and develop more character sheets.
Welcome to the site! I hope you find what you're looking for!

Welcome to RPR!
Welcome to RPR, it is a pretty good community here.
Welcome to RPR! I think it's cool that you told us a little about yourself, and I don't think you need to be sorry for it. It's a pleasure to meet you! I love long-term slow-burn RPs as well, and I just made my account here maybe a week ago. I think you'll find that this is a really friendly and respectful community, and I'm sure you'll settle in in no time just like me! Feel free to DM me if you ever want to chat. πŸ™‚

Hello! Welcome to RP Repository! :)
Welcome to RPR!
I know you've gotten quite a few replies, but ah! Hello!! I'm glad you found RPR! This place is great and filled with lots of people who want to roleplay many different things! You will definitely be able to find rp partners who want to indulge in stories with more than just explicit scenes. I find most of us also are not able to get on every day-- especially with the world continually throwing us crazy curveballs! So no pressure on that! πŸ˜„

I'm a fellow fantasy-modern lover (especially when fantasy and soft sci-fi are squished together!) and I thought it would be sort of rare to find people who liked that, but I have found that there are more of us out there then I realized. Wahoo!πŸ˜†

I wish you well on your start at Roleplay Repository!! <3

Welcome!

....I TOO hail from the days of yahoo! chats (and AOL (Arts & Entertainment>Red Dragon Inn))

Things have only gotten better since then it seems, and RPR is such a fun reminder of that.

If you have any questions about anything, the community here is absolutely rad, and the mods love helping others.

So what were your font, color, and action indicator choices back in the olden days?

I was 11 so initially, I went with comic sans, as one does in 2002. Eye-burning pink, orange, and dark red. Eventually, I changed to Arial narrow 8pt, which makes 31-year-old me grimace to think about reading! -=This was how I made characters do things=- because *This one was hard to see* and ::this one gave me a headache::. I feel very ancient now haha. Actually instead of a haha, have this throwback. ^-^ Owo O_O~!
