I prefer to play the female role in everything I do, but if my partner would much rather me be male, I will get over it depending on the story and if I find it worth it.
I typically play fxf or fxm but may be ok with mxm under certain circumstances
Normally I write about 1-3 paragraphs per reply, but sometimes I will do 4-6 if I am feeling up to it, I have a busy schedule but try to respond at the LEAST 2-4 times a day, if not much more. Every once in a while I take the day off but that is odd for me so if I do you know something is definitely wrong.
