Any Text-Based Groups For People Who STruggle With VC?

Hello! I know what I'm looking for is probably a very niche sub-group on here, but on the off chance that someone out there might have a space for me... I'm basically looking for a text-based D&D group that would be willing accept a beginner into their ranks. I'm not coming in completely blind, as I've made character sheets and have partaken in campaigns in the past, but most didn't last long due to scheduling issues or were just one-shot sessions, so I've never really had a chance to actually get into the game properly. I'm a fairly seasoned roleplayer with both forum and discord experience, and I'm willing to learn/play by whatever rules you like. I've just always wanted to play this game and I've never really got the chance to properly do it because I have a hard time with voice chat, which makes finding groups willing to take me really difficult. I have a good internet connection and right now my schedule is wide open since I'm waiting to be called back to work. I'm hoping for something that's played on at least a weekly basis since I'd ultimately like this to be a fairly regular thing. Feel free to reach out if you think I might make a good addition to any on-going/future campaigns you have planned!
I'm pretty new (only played like 3 games) but i'd be willing to join you, social anxiety makes it really hard to find a group to play DnD with but a text-based group it would be easier

I'm definitely interested in the 'We're Alive' campaign! How many players do you currently have for it? And I assume it's run through discord- do you guys use bots for rolling/character sheets? And Sentinel, I'm definitely down to join something with you if we can find a DM that's willing to take us or start a new campaign. I'm sure we could find another player or two who'd be interested in joining if we could :)

Note (updated 9/26/2023): This game has been on hold for past 3 weeks due to GM/ST preoccupied with RL.  Waiting for response if he's resuming game any time soon.

I’m willing to run a text based game.  Kind of like a play by post.  My time is limited these days, but it would be easy to do. checking a forum or discord channel, or even through the text based chat on Roll20, and/or scheduling sessions as needed.
Grumblecakes, that would be awesome if your willing! I've had a couple other people reach out to me who are also interested in this type of campaign, so I'm sure I could find a few players to join us if you had a campaign you wanted to do. Just let me know- I can add you on discord and we can get a server going on there to do it in.
I would also definitely be interested in something like this, and have two friends who would be interested as well.
