I avoid threads that say 'literate' in the title, not because I think they're being arrogant or something, but because I feel like I won't be able to meet their expectations so why bother looking at it and reaching out
as for the gender thing, I also don't understand that.
and then for the age thing, id like to justify having a limit of avoiding rps with minors myself. I don't count them out
completely, I have a limit cause the rps I generally do have romance, and that can obviously lead to more. While I don't do written out smut, the implication of the characters being… intimate, it would just make me uncomfortable with a minor. It's not cause I don't think there are plenty of talented writers under 18. I know there are.
