I think my own tastes tend to be similar to those of the lovely lacuna.  :D<br/><br/>I like my RPs to be a good mix of smut and plot/action ... but I lean more towards the smut.  I don't mind if there's long-ish stretches of no smut, but at the end of the day I want my stories to have them, and to feature prominently in them. I don't like RPs where it's more "and oh by the way there's sex".<br/><br/>I like worlds that are either kind of realistic, or that I call "one degree away from real". That means, basically like the real world, but maybe only with one major difference. Like the real world, but with zombies. Or the real world after some sort of biological disaster. You get the idea. The further and further away we get from reality, the less I like it. I think that's partly because all of the fantasy and sci-fi RPs I've tried have gone down in flames  :P but also because I have a harder time getting into them. I like my RPs to at least have a foothold into reality.<br/><br/>I'm not a big fan of "shared world" gaming, like Star Wars or Final Fantasy. Not that I don't like those things, but when it comes to RPs, I never feel like I know everything that I need to know. (My exception to this is Doctor Who ... shameless plug - guys, I'm looking for a Doctor! ;)  )  I much prefer creating original worlds for my RPs, I guess I'd rather make my own toys than play in someone else's toybox.<br/><br/>A post-apocalyptic game would be okay with me, but I'd rather the focus be on "real" people than fantastic creatures.
