When I was 13, my friend and I would write our own little role plays on paper during school. (Up until we were about 16, there was a group of us all writing stories on paper.) My friend met someone over livejournal who told her about roleplaying and we joined an AU community (like pb, but you're using the name as well as the face). This was back when we all rp'd with *text here* and then we got into story book. Checked out a few more AU communities then I went over to greatest journal and tried celeb. I mostly rp celeb now, but am still in a few good AU communities. I'm the annoying one asking for a femme line all the time :p
