(And here I was about ready to make a topic for American West/Civil War before I read your post)
I'm recently joined to E. but I've been rping for several years now and enjoy it because it can be a collaborative writing experience. I am also looking for strong writers with well thought out, realistic characters. I do like to dwell on settings and story (with non player characters, perhaps villains, or trouble) but I understand that some? most? like to just cut to the chase. I find that to be boring and maybe you do too.
Anyway, as I said above, I am really itching for a historical RP, pref. within the mid 19th century. It can be civil war or the west, though to be honest I'm a little vague on what was going on after the revolution. Incidentally, I'd already made up a civil war character for another thread. Not sure where that thread is going, but it kept me occupied while I was waiting for approval. here have a look if you want:

Is not really into excessively passive female characters. Enjoys people that can balance out (or turn the tables on) my characters.
