Hello everyone. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. It's always a little intimidating joining a well established group.
I write as Rouch, my government name is Kristy. I discovered RP two years ago when I was recruited to participate on the Accio Nox HP RP boards through a contact on ff.net. At that point I had only written fanfiction or scientific papers so I felt a bit out of my element. But I love the Harry Potter universe. There's so many unexplored depths, especially the world outside of Hogwarts that I was hooked. By the end of my first year I had 15 active characters and made great friends actively plotting magical drama. Sadly that board closed down suddenly, without time to save the threads that were really important to us. It felt like a loss that needed to be grieved. A couple of us tried to get a board going, but I was trying to finish my PhD and I had no idea how to really recruit new members to get up off the ground. When I finished my PhD last month I knew I wanted to find a community again. After some searching I stumbled on Hogwarts Revival but on the very day it closed down. I followed the link on that board and landed here. I'm already been grateful for how laid back you all are. This feels easy here and I appreciate the spirit you've cultivated.
I approach RP like improv and typically have the attitude of "yes and...". I love how RP feels like living, collaborative fanfiction and enjoy the richness that can develop within and between the characters. I am most invested in complex plots that take months to play out. I'm always on board for mystery and character development. If I have a character that can further your ideas I'm always in. I'd like to make a few more characters but wanted to see what gaps there might be that need to be filled. I like to feel useful. If someone has a character they need for a plot idea or family/friend/relationship, hit me up. I likely have something generally thought out that can be tweaked for something specific.
Anyway, thanks again for the warm welcome.
