introduction

Hi, you can call me Reece. I am a twenty-seven year old university student, who is studying psychology and english literature. A lot of my time is spent studying, thus the lack of a social life, but in my spare time I like to read, write, play video games, and watch movies, among other things. I have a variety of hobbies and love making friends with like minded individuals. Admittedly, I can be a bit shy in the beginning, so forgive me. I have been writing since I was ten, and discovered roleplaying when I was fourteen. I started out in chat rooms, bounced around forums, and was even a member of the now defunct Quizilla. I’m trying to make a comeback within the roleplay world after having to take unforeseen hiatuses due to ongoing health issues. At this time I am looking for something casual and relaxed; nothing stressful. I will list my rules and such, in addition to what I'm craving below.

what I’m looking for in a partner

Someone willing to take the time to sit down and plan out a story we’ll both enjoy.

Someone who will respect me in the same manner as I will them. It’s a two way street and I’m tired of being disrespected and harassed.

Someone who will take the time to read my rules and regulations. There have been too many instances where I’ve discovered people have either disregarded my rules or simply glossed over them. In exchange if you have any concerns please bring them to me.

Someone who understands that I won’t be able to respond every day. I’ve been dealing with an ongoing health issue since back in June and every month it’s been constant trips to the doctor. It will take me a bit, have patience with me, please. There are some days where I might only be up for talking OOC, then there are others where you might not hear me because I simply don’t feel well.

Someone who doesn’t mind that I’m that person who adores our roleplay so much that I will make everything from mood boards, edits, and playlists dedicated to our characters, ships, etc.

Someone who doesn’t mind talking outside of roleplay. Another perk of roleplay is finding friends and that’s what I seek. I would like to find someone who I can build a friendship with. We can fangirl over our story and our ships, talk about our day and slowly get to know one another. ❤

types of roleplay

basic: Contact me with what fandom(s) you’re interested in, we’ll make a mutual decision on the choice, before exchanging oc information and discussing plots. The format is what we’re all used to: portraying our oc’s, each other’s love interest(s) and side characters.

doubles: More or less the same as above, except if there is more than one thing you’d like to do and are up for doing more than roleplay, than we can. I will probably only accept 2-3 per person, due to time management.

split: The format is similar to the basic formula, we both choose one fandom of our respective sides. Then, we exchange oc information, love interests and plots.

split 2.5: This is similar to the former, but different than the ones before it. Normally, a split roleplay is done where we choose two separate fandoms; but I can make an exception for a basic format if that is what you wish. Now, here is where it’s different after we choose our respective fandoms, along with our oc information we will include a big or small write up of a plot for our character and their love interest(s). Now, I will give my partner full-rein in regards to what kind of plot they want. Want a storyline filled with drama and mayhem? Go for it. Want a reverse harem storyline with four characters vying for your character’s heart? Fine with me. This is your opportunity to play out any kind of headcanons and storylines you wish. I only ask for nothing that violates my rules or limits, otherwise sky’s the limit. I will may accept 2-3 per person. If you need help with a storyline, let me know.

rules and regulations

length:

Normally, I will write one to two paragraphs on both sides. However, that is not my limit for I can write anywhere between one to five paragraphs per sides. Length for a single paragraph can range anywhere between 200-500+ words, whereas each individual side usually equates anywhere from 400-800+ words. I like to consider myself a paragraph|multi-paragraph writer, although I know a lot of people are converting to novella writers, I can accommodate to a novella partner just beware that it will take me longer to reply to you as opposed to someone else. This is due to how much time and effort that goes into novella responses. I am the type of person who likes to take the time to construct a quality response, rather than rush and send someone a response for the sake of replying. Which is why I ask, please give me time to write your response.

format:

I can write in either first or third person, despite preferring first because I can connect with my character more; I will do whatever my partner feels more comfortable with and if that’s second so be it. Also, don’t forget that roles between the two of us should follow accordingly; I play my OC, your love interest(s) and additional side characters. While you play your OC, my love interest(s) and additional side characters.

love interests, mary sues, and spotlight:

I’m lenient when it comes to love interests, as I allow more than one suitor for our characters because love triangles make the story more interesting. However, I would ask that if we just so happen to have the same choice(s) for a love interest that we don’t fight about it; instead try to sort things out. I’ve literally had someone threaten me, simply because I liked the same person as them (I’m not kidding). Second, I’m not an extremist when it comes to characters; meaning I won’t knit pick about every little thing. All I ask is no Mary-Sues and no hogging the spotlight; this is a storyline created between the two us. Let’s share it please.

spelling and grammar:

There are a lot of people who tend to knit pick about this; but rest assured I will not. All I ask is that you have a decent grasp on both spelling and grammar. Do this and we’ll get along fine; this is something that I can and will promise you.

manners and etiquette:

This should be common knowledge, but all I ask is that during our time writing together that you treat me with respect and courtesy; I will return the gesture as it is only right. I’d like us to get along, I would hate for a disagreement to ensure and there was bad blood between us due to something frivolous.

patience and commitment:

I am a full-time student, attending college and leave for school early in the morning and return home later in the afternoon; I am usually quite tired when I return home, but I try to reply to my partners as frequent as possible. However there are times, unfortunately when I cannot reply when I’d like due to an abundant amount of assignments, health issues which can lead to me becoming sick or an emergency at home. I try to inform my partners of these occurrences, but if you don’t hear from me in two weeks time don’t be afraid to send me a message and ask me about it. What I won’t accept, is being spammed every five seconds with the same message; again and again because I’m not replying like you’d like me to. I do my best to get to you all, roleplay is supposed to be fun and enjoyable; an escape from reality for both of us. It shouldn’t have to feel like a job. I will do the same for you because I understand everyone here has different lives and schedules to attend to; but please don’t ditch me half-way through the roleplay. If you need to take a break or something; then please tell me. I don’t bite- I’ll understand.

limits:

Upon sending a request please include your limits; the last thing I wish is to make you uncomfortable. My own limits include but are not limited to the following: male x male, female x female, incest, paedophilia, and bestiality. This is where my limits stand as of now and may or may not change depending on future roleplays. If you’re unsure about something please don’t hesitate to ask me. In regards to what I will do well I am open to mature themes within my roleplays; actually, I would prefer if my partner was as well. These themes are but not limited to: foul language, violence, blood/gore (but not too heavy, please), smut, sex, alcohol, drugs ( prescription or not), mental illness, psychological themes and more. However, please be advised that I would like to keep everything to a certain level; this means while I do allow cursing, please do not have your character do so every other word. Also, I will not engage in a roleplay that is dedicated solely to sexual activities, alone. I believe that there is more to a storyline than this.

canon, crossovers and au:

I can do strictly canon roleplays or an alternate universe roleplay. Alternate Universes can range from ‘what if’ situations, different settings and scenarios. If you have an idea let me know, or we can brainstorm ideas together; I also have a list of AU prompts so let me know if you’d like to take a look at it. I am also crossover friendly

location:

I use mediums such as Skype, Discord and Kik to talk ooc, but tend to roleplay through Google Docs, Email (preferred) or Tumblr.

ooc chit-chat:

I’d like to chat on the sidelines with my partners, as it allows the two of us to get to know each other; thus making things less awkward for the both of us. Plus, I like to make friends with my partners and would enjoy the extra person to converse with.

roleplay subjects

The link above will provide my full list of fandoms (cravings included) and original prompts. Please be sure to visit before contacting me.

final checklist

Respect my limits and I’ll respect yours.

This list will be updated when I see fit

If it’s not on my list, don’t ask me about it, no offence but you’re wasting my time and yours.

Please acquaint yourself with my rules before messaging me. Failure to comply with them or in the instance of repeat offences will result in the termination of the roleplay.

Love interests are written in order of preference. If there is only one listed then that’s the only one and I won’t change it.

Listed above are the fandoms I would be interested in writing for, with them are characters who I wished played against my OC. In return, I will play a character opposite your own OC.

Please try to have at least two choices when contacting me. I will be thrilled if you have more than that.

In all seriousness don't contact me if you're going to ditch. I'm just tired of getting excited over requests and then get dropped. It's even more disappointing when it's something I was looking forward to or spent hours writing a starter. If there's something you want to be included or omitted let me know. If you need to step away from the roleplay, let me know. Please don't just stop replying or delete me or whatever. Now, if you haven't heard from me within a week or two send a follow-up message; I cannot stress this enough. Sometimes it's school, other times it's my health, there will be days where I don't have the strength to reply. Then, sometimes it's simply something as simple as an email being misplaced or a technical glitch. Regardless, I will always get replies to my partners; it just might take me longer. If you cannot understand this, then I am not the partner for you.

As mentioned at the beginning of this request I am looking for something casual and stress-free. I'm not the quickest replier due to school and health problems. Which is why I ask that you not harass me. I don't mind if it's been a few days or more and you give me a soft poke (i.e. ”Hey, I'm just checking in, etc). What isn't appropriate is sending me a string of messages in pursuit of a reply, getting angry with me for not responding, threatening to end the roleplay, or assuming that I've ditched because I haven't replied in a few days. When someone harasses me, I become stressed, when I become stressed, I will no longer want to continue the roleplay. I will simply end things altogether. Again, I don't mind a light nudge or friendly ask. Most days I'm up for OOC talk, even if the roleplay is on pause, but anything else will not be tolerated. I'm tired of it.

Be prepared to plot.

Split roleplays are an option

Double roleplays are an option

Plot Candies: Fandoms, Canon, Real world meets the Fandom world(aka: Characters from a fandom transported to the real world or vice versa), Action, Adventure, Superhero fiction, Crime, Fantasy, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Epic/High Fantasy, Magical Girl, Alternate Universe, Horror, Mystery, Romance, Slice of Life, Thriller, Psychological, Drama, Mythology, Fiction, Tragedy, Time Travel, What-If (prompts),Married-Life, Pregnancy, Family, Crossovers, Reverse Harem

Genres and Themes that are a no-no: Science Fiction, Western, Post-Apocalyptic, Dystopia, Historical, Mecha, Zombies, Canon/Canon

Upon contacting me please make sure to do the following. First, I believe that first impressions matter and therefore would appreciate if you could please introduce yourself to me. I find when people contact me with simply “Want to RP” or “RP?” to be very off-putting and therefore leave me with no desire to return the message. Second, please include the following information: what you’re interested in writing for, any limits that you may or may not have (this one is important because I know everyone is different) and what type of roleplay you’re interested doing. Lastly, it would be nice if you could include any ideas you may have. If you don’t have any that’s okay, if you do don’t be shy to share. Thanks. ❤

(She’s back… after an unforeseen hiatus).

Introduction

Good morning, afternoon or evening to those who stumble upon this, like most I would like to find a partner to write long-term. At the moment I don’t have many, and wouldn’t mind at least two to three more. I should probably say a bit about myself, I am twenty-four years old and have been writing about 08 years +. I was a member of Quizilla, where I used to search for partners back in the day. I tend to lurk on other roleplay oriented sites such as RP.Me, and Tumblr from time to time. Below, I will list my rules, current cravings, full roleplay list and some last minute notes. If you see something that catches your eye please do contact me through one of the contact mediums I’ve listed; thank you.

Note: So, as mentioned above I had to take an unforeseen hiatus due to a number of things. (School and health being the two main contributors). However, I am back after a well-needed rest and ready to write again. As of today’s date I have reached out to everyone with whom I was speaking with and sent out replies. If we were speaking a while back (forgive me for disappearing), and you haven’t heard back from me, I’d love to get back in contact with you and begin where we left off. ❤

Types of Roleplay

Basic: Contact me with what fandom(s) you’re interested in, we’ll make a mutual decision on the choice, before exchanging oc information and discussing plots. The format is what we’re all used to: portraying our oc’s, each other’s love interest(s) and side characters.

Split 2.5: This is similar to the former, but different than the ones before it. Normally, a split roleplay is done where we choose two separate fandoms; but I can make an exception for a basic format if that is what you wish. Now, here is where it’s different after we choose our respective fandoms, along with our oc information we will include a big or small write up of a plot for our character and their love interest(s). Now, I will give my partner full-rein in regards to what kind of plot they want. Want a storyline filled with drama and mayhem? Go for it.

This is where my limits stand, these may or may not change depending on future roleplays; however if you’re unsure about something please don’t hesitate to ask me. Now onto what I will do, I am open to mature themes within the roleplays; I actually encourage them. That includes; cursing, violence, blood, smut, alcohol and lemons. However, I would like to keep the language and lemons to a certain level, meaning no dropping ‘F’ bombs every five seconds and no roleplays dedicated to sexual activities and sexual activities alone. No, there is more to a roleplay than that and I will not engage in such.

Canon, Crossover, AU: I can do strictly canon roleplays or an alternate universe roleplay. Alternate Universes can range from ‘what if’ situations, different settings and scenarios. If you have an idea let me know, or we can brainstorm ideas together; I also have a list of AU prompts so let me know if you’d like to take a look at it. I am also crossover friendly

Location: I can write through email, instant messenger (yahoo, aol, msn), Skype, Kik or Tumblr.

OOC Chit-Chat: I’d like to chat on the sidelines with my partners, as it allows the two of us to get to know each other; thus making things less awkward for the both of us. Plus, I like to make friends with my partners and would enjoy the extra person to converse with.

How to Write a Thank You Email After an Interview (+10 Examples)

How would you feel if I butted in line when you were waiting to use the bathroom?

You would hate me. But why?

A little thing called etiquette - the things we do to be polite and make our behavior pleasant to others.

Sending a post-interview thank you note is a cornerstone of etiquette.

Even if you’re confident that you aced your interview, it’s good form to say thank you for the opportunity.

But like all forms of polite conversation, it’s easy to make a faux pas if you don’t know the current trends.

So, how do you write a thank you email after an interview?

This guide will answer all your post-interview thank you email questions so that you’re sure that your manners are fit for a king.

You will find out:

If you should send a post-interview thank you email or letter.

Who you should send a thank you email to and when.

How to write a thank you email and how to add impressive personal touches.

Bonus: Download FREE step-by-step checklist of things to do before an interview. “Things You Need To Do Before Your Big Interview.”

1. Yes, You Always Need to Send a Thank You Email After an Interview

There is no question - you must ALWAYS send a thank you email after an interview.

As I mentioned above, it’s just a part of “post-interview” etiquette. A common courtesy.

But 57% of candidates don’t send thank you notes after an interview - even though hiring managers expect it.

For example, 86% of hiring managers said the lack of a thank you note after an interview sends the message that the candidate lacks follow through, and 56% said that it shows the candidate isn’t serious about the position.

So, the bottom line is that you must always send a thank you email after an interview.

Here's an example of what a post-interview thank you email should look like:

Subject: Thank you for the opportunity, Lorelai

Dear Lorelai,

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me on Wednesday. I am very excited about the opportunity to work at the Dragonfly Inn!

I was thinking about what Michel said regarding customer feedback on your social media channels. In my last role as Guest Relations Manager, I found that personally responding to comments on social media resulted in an overall increase in repeat customers. I hope that helps.

I also wanted to say that you were right about the coffee at Luke's. I stopped by on my way home. Delicious!

Please feel free to contact me if you find you need any more information. I look forward to our call next week as discussed. Thank you once again, Lorelai.

Best regards,

Ted Zero

2. Who and When - The Logistics of Sending a Post-interview Thank You Email

But who gets it? What if you interviewed with multiple people?

Right:

Send a thank you email after every interview to everyone that was in the room with you.

Wrong:

Send a thank you email to the one person who gave you an email address.

The exception to the rule would be the panel interview, especially if many of the participants joined via phone or Skype.

In this situation, it’s okay to send one thank you email after an interview addressed to everyone.

But what if you don’t have the email addresses for everyone?

It’s okay to send one email to the person whose address you have with a postscript at the bottom requesting that they forward the email to the other people who were present.

Alternatively, you can request the email address of the other people in the postscript so that you can send them personalized emails as well.

What if you don’t have ANY email addresses?

Right:

Contact the person who organized your interview - the recruiter or HR specialist. Ask for the hiring manager's email address.

Wrong:

Have a thank you note written before your interview so you can leave it at reception on your way out the door.

Why is it a bad idea to write a note beforehand?

Because you have no chance to reflect on the conversations held during your interview or personalize the note, defeating one of the main purposes of the action.

Still can't get an address? Call the front desk and inquire about the possibility of obtaining an email address.

If a receptionist insists that giving out email addresses is not company policy, ask if you may prepare a letter to leave with them so that they may give it to the proper person.

How soon should you send a thank you email after an interview?

Right:

Within 24 hours after your interview.

Wrong:

Two or three days.

Now, normal post takes two or three days. And that's far too late. But what if you want to send a handwritten thank you letter after your interview?

In that case, you should send a post-interview thank you email within 24 hours, alerting a hiring manager to the fact that you’ve dropped a handwritten note in the mail.

What if you interview on a Friday, and you can’t get an email out until after working hours?

Even if you have to send an email after working hours, that’s okay.

In that case, you can also wait until the following Monday if you know the hiring manager will not check their inbox until then.

Pro Tip: If you interview with multiple people, ask for business cards during the interview, so you don’t have to search for emails later.

3. Post-interview Thank You Email Or Letter - Which Do You Send?

Most hiring managers (87%) agree that it is appropriate to receive a thank you email after an interview instead of a handwritten letter.

It’s up to you to decide whether or not a hiring manager would appreciate an email or a letter more. In some cases, a hiring manager may not find an email appropriate at all.

For example, if you are applying to a stiff, suit-and-tie law firm, ala Devil’s Advocate, you may want to send a handwritten thank you letter after your interview.

While some old school companies may see an email as a breach of etiquette, Yale Law School says that it is “preferable [to use email] given the time crunch,” but you should keep the professional business format and tone.

To sum up, in 99.99% of situations it is more than okay to send a thank you email after an interview.

Another 45% of recruiters will reject your resume if you don't attach a cover letter. Not sure how to write one? Read our guide: "How To Write A Cover Letter [Complete Guide With Examples]"

4. Tone, Style, Length - How to Write a Thank You Letter After an Interview

The key to writing an effective thank you email after an interview is to make it personal.

Right:

A personal message that address topics brought up in the interview.

Wrong:

Post-interview thank you email templates or fill-in-the-blank sample thank you letters.

There are millions of sample thank you emails on the Internet. If you ask Google for templates, it will deliver.

I know. It’s extremely tempting to fill in a template. Filling in the blanks gets that email out faster and makes you feel confident that you sent something correct.

Resist that temptation. Resist.

The whole point of sending a thank you email after an interview is:

To reiterate your interest in the position.

To keep your sparkling self at the forefront of a recruiter’s mind.

To reinforce your uniqueness as a candidate.

And yes, to express gratitude.

With that in mind, you’ll need some more pointers to get started.

Right:

Write a short and sweet note. Implement a three paragraph rule.

Wrong:

Give a play-by-play recap of your interview, and go into detail about how awesome you are.

Here is a very basic outline of the type of information you should include:

Hello - thank you - I enjoyed talking to you about that project that I know I have some solutions for - I hope the wedding planning continues to go well - I hope to hear from you in a week as you said - Sincerely - Bye.

In the first paragraph, express your gratitude for the opportunity.

Use the second paragraph to comment on the value you’d bring to the company by mentioning a project or solution that you discussed.

In the third paragraph, you can touch on something that you felt was left out during the interview. Or you can refer to a personal topic that you and the hiring manager bonded over, such as the wedding planning mentioned in the example.

Aim for around 200 words and remember that hiring managers are people too.

As far as tone is concerned, the degree of formality you use should reflect how formal the recruiter was at your interview.

Again, it is up to you to decide how formal to be. There are no hard and fast rules.

You can use the hiring manager’s first name if you know it for the sake of personalization.

You can attach a formal letter, properly formatted, as a PDF file. Then write a shorter thank you email after an interview if you want to make sure that you’ve covered all of your bases.

5. What to Write - Sample Thank You Email for After an Interview

I know, I just got done telling you that samples are bad. But this section gives you sample ideas for the content of your post-interview thank you email.

Start out with using “the three W’s” to guide you. What are the three W’s?

Well, to be honest, it’s the five W’s, and they are who, what, when, where, and why.

It’s a technique used by writers, journalists, and genius kids writing essays for English teachers.

But you only need three - who, what, and when.

Who - the hiring manager.

Right:

Write a thank you email after an interview that focuses on the hiring manager.

Wrong:

Write a thank you email after an interview that is a summary of your skills and greatness.

They already read your resume. They know your skills. It’s time to shift gears and focus on the hiring manager now.

Tammy Kabell, CEO of Career Resume Consulting, says:

"Thank you letters are there to increase your likability not to sell yourself. You want to raise your relevancy and remind the hiring manager why they liked you. And taking the time to do something rare, like writing a handwritten note, raises these factors."

What - your value and a personal bonding topic.

If you are focusing on the hiring manager, there are two things that you should address in the body of your letter.

First, you should mention that you can bring value to them by helping them with a project or finding a solution for a problem that they have.

Think back to your interview, was there anything that got said about how you would accomplish something for them? Refer to that and reiterate how you will help.

Next, think if there was any personal topic that you and the recruiter bonded over, such as a shared hobby or interest. Make a reference to that at this point in your post-interview thank you note.

Right:

Solutions and personal bonding topics.

Wrong:

Your skills, accomplishments, and desires.

When - mention when you expect to hear back from them.

You will want to pave the way for a follow-up. After an interview, it is typical to follow up to see if they’ve made a decision or not.

And that’s the beauty of sending a thank you email after an interview. It does the job of a follow-up dressed in thank-you-note clothes. Plus you get the opportunity to announce when they can expect the actual follow-up call.

Write two lines.

The first line should encourage them to contact you if they need more information.

Sample:

Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information.

And one that lets them know when you will follow up with them.

Sample:

As discussed, I will give you a call in two weeks to follow up and check in with you. I look forward to hearing from you.

If you made plans for a follow-up during your interview, refer to the pre-arranged time.

What goes in the subject line?

A typical inbox reveals about 60 characters of an email’s subject line. That number gets reduced to 25-30 characters on mobile devices.

It’s the same as when you want to email a resume to a hiring manager.

So, “thank you” (with a space) is already nine characters, giving you 51 left to use.

Here are five variations less than 60 characters:

Thank you, [hiring manager’s name]

Thank you for the interview, [hiring manager’s first name]

Thank you for the opportunity, [hiring manager’s first name]

Writing to say thank you for the interview

I wanted to thank you for the chance to interview with you

So what would a thank you email after an interview look like in the end?

Subject: Just wanted to say thank you for the interview, Melanie

Dear Melanie,

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me on Friday. I am very excited about the opportunity to work for Aunt Pittypat’s Kittycat Emporium!

I was thinking about the problem you’re having with selling premium cat toys. I remembered that when I began to organize open house days for customers at my last job, premium toy sales went up by 10%. All we did was allow customers to bring their cats in to try out new toys. I hope that helps!

I also wanted to say good luck with your petunias. I just tried the technique with the banana peels that you suggested to get rid of aphids, and I am looking forward to the results. I will have to let you know how it goes.

Please feel free to contact me if you find you need any more information. I look forward to our call in two weeks as we discussed. Thank you once again, Melanie.

Best regards,

Rene Picard

Pro Tip: Note the informal tone of the email. Rene decided to write Melanie using a friendly tone because she felt that the interview had gone the same way.

6. No One Does It, But Adding Personal Touches Impresses Hiring Managers

If you would like to add a few personal touches to your thank you email after an interview, here are some ideas:

Add Links

Add a link to your website, blog, or portfolio - even if they were already on your resume.

That will remind the hiring manager that you’ve got a blog and give them easy access to it.

Add the link in the section about providing more information like this:

Please feel free to contact me if you need any more information, or visit my website at www.johnsmith.com

Use Nice Stationery

If you do decide to drop a handwritten note in the mail, go with professional, personalized stationery instead of a greeting card.

If you’re going to go with a personal touch, go all the way.

Attach a Formal Letter as a PDF

If you decide not to send a handwritten note by mail, you can still write a formal letter and attach it to your email as a PDF as discussed above.

It shows that you’ve gone the extra mile.

Pro Tip: Don't forget to proofread your email. You can use apps like Grammarly or Language Tool to help you.

Key Takeaway

The three commandments of sending a thank you email after an interview are as follows:

You must always send one.

You must always send one to everyone.

You must always send one within 24 hours.

The rest is up to you. Just remember to add personal touches and to gauge the level of formality based on the atmosphere of your interview.

No hiring manager in the world wouldn’t love to receive an authentic, personal thank you note after an interview.

And it gives you a golden opportunity to stay in the good graces and the memory of a hiring manager long after that last handshake.

Still not sure whether to send an email or a traditional thank-you note? Not sure which interviewer to thank? Leave us a note in the comments, and we will get back to you. Thanks for reading!
