As far as finding a game goes, your best bet is to keep an eye on the Talking the Talk threads, looking for anyone who is recruiting. Be aware that much of your efforts in creating your characters may need to be redone, depending on the DMs preferences. Also note that there is often some competition for spots, so you might not make it into the same game.
Another good tactic, at least one that worked well for me, is to read a couple of threads for different games to get a feel for what pbp looks like. It might help you with understanding the changes in the game a bit, too.
