Hi, I just realized I never filled one of these out for Distant Fantasies, so I guess I'll do it now. Better late than never.
So, I've been role playing since 2005 and my favorite genres are realism-based wolf, and realistic human. I've dabbled in just about everything else over the course of time, but those are still my favorites. Given the right site and plot, supernatural human can be fun too or even the right type of sci-fi site. I prefer role playing over forums, but I started role playing over live chat (for those of you whom may remember Chatzone). I will role play over email and have nothing against it, I just never have a role playing buddy.
I vastly prefer self-hosting (or as is my current case, piggyback hosting) my role plays (and other various sites, and a huge thank you to Morrigan for hosting my domain and putting up with all my dumb questions), as I have a great distaste for free hosts for multiple reasons. Currently I own a blog on my own domain, my daughter's blog, and two wolf role play sites (one of which I'm probably going to delete because two of the same site is kind of dumb). Two of my most successful sites were Great Ebony Realm and Dreams of Stone. A strength of mine is website creation in a short amount of time. In the getting to know me as a person department, I am a mother of three girls aged ten years, two years, and eight months old.
I live in Illinois with them and my husband (and I'm dying for springtime by the way). I'm a fairly easy-going person, but I can be quite the control freak at times (which is part of why I like self-hosting). I'm a huge nit-picker, especially when it comes to anything written (I think the common phrase is grammar Nazi). I enjoy learning about new topics and trying new things, reading and writing. I drink illegal amounts of coffee and wonder why I can't sleep at night.
Oh, and I like the color teal. Um, so hi there (:
