I'm currently 31 and got my BA in English Literature, so I've always been a bookie... and wrote horrible horrible fanfics waaaay back in the day. 
I've been a writer since I could pick up a pencil to taking the step into RPing was fun, if a bit intimidating. I did semi-RP like things online for a few years but didn't start to ACTUALLY table-top RP until I was dragged kicking and screaming from my hidy-corner when I move across country for college. She was 6'1" Italian lady and would have none of my shy hiding-ness.... granted, she also decided I was too skinny and needed to eat more. (I kid you not. It was a college kid's dream come true... fresh home-cooked Italian food on a regular basis from the GM. Her family didn't even care I was a tiny little Irish thing. This was Boston... so the whole 'Italian family adopting the Irish kid' was fun to laugh about.) I spent 7 years RPing with them and I miss that character so badly... 
Anyway, I RPed in DAoC when I got dragged into MMOs and did sort of PERSONAL RPing(basically working a character up and drawing them, writing stories for myself) in WoW because I never found people I wanted to, or felt comfortable enough to, RP with(and I was a hardcore progression raider from DAoC>Vanilla WoW up to Wrath before I retired to more relaxed gaming)... I haven't really gotten into an indepth RP MMO community in a few years and I'm still feeling a TAD intimidated/skitterish. But I'm working on that.
