A little bit about me. [hider=Me][b][u]I am[/u][/b]: [list] [*]Back from a long hiatus to find the site restructured and my posts evaporated. Damn.[/*] [*]An old-school RP'er who once wrote multi-paras but is now most comfortable exchanging 1-2 at a time.[/*] [*]Looking for something intriguing to play, be it something sinister and smutty or light and lyrical. A hybrid of the two works as well[/*] [*]Not into writing this story on my own, and would like a writing [u]partner[/u] to share the experience with[/*] [*]Very open to discussing plot points OOC to help keep things both moving and interesting[/*] [*]Often bored at work and capable of replying at least 1/day, with the potential of replying multiple times in a day if the story pulls me[/*] [*]Fully aware that sometimes stories grow stale, and open to cutting things off clean or trying for a fresh start[/*] [*], perhaps unfairly, unwilling to write anything involving vampires and werewolves.[/*] [*]Looking to improve as a writer and, towards that end, gratefully welcome criticism and/or suggestions.[/*] [*]Quite possibly too old for this site by now, but sometimes you just have to scratch the old writing itch[/*][/list][/hider] A little bit about you. [hider=You][b][u]You are[/u][/b]: [list] [*]An adult (in the legal sense, at least) who is capable of communicating OOC to discuss plot points.[/*] [*]Comfortable writing a paragraph per post without treating it like a word quota you begrudgingly fulfill.[/*] [*]Into the idea of us writing a story together, and participating in keeping things fresh and moving.[/*] [*]Willing to clearly state your boundaries in what you're willing to write so as to ensure I don't overstep.[/*] [*]Are open to the idea of either a short and quick RP to whet the appetite or a long, age-spanning novel for us to share.[/*] [*]Going to let me know if you want to drop a story, or need to go away for a while.[/*] [*]Aware of how to use proper grammar while willing to forgive an overly eager typo here and there.[/*] [*]Hopefully willing to take some light criticism here and there to help us both grow as writers.[/*] [*]Willing to forgive how pretentious this post is.[/*][/list] While I have a couple of ideas of my own, I'd much rather discuss them with you over PMs or Skype.[/hider] I wrote an IC a few days ago and got some great replies, but I should have been more specific with my wants. There's a lot of amazing talent on this site, so trying to find the few writers who specifically match my requirements should hopefully not be too difficult. Here's hoping. So, to specify on what I've written behind those spoiler tags: [list] [*]I find myself with a lot of free time during the day (PST) on most Weekdays, and am fully eager and willing to write multiple posts during that time.[/*] [*]To encourage faster back-and-forth, I like to keep posts between 1 and 3 paragraphs. While I do appreciate (and write) the occasional 4-8 paragraph post, I find they usually take longer to write, and I'm embarrassingly impatient. =][/*] [*]Smut seems to be pretty taboo on this forum, which is a shame. Is it horrible to say that I prefer it? I'm not saying I want it to be the primary focus, but some of my favorite scenes I've ever had the honor of co-writing were some really dark, twisted and sensual scenes.[/*] [*]That having been said, I don't necessarily want something dark and devious; I've got a very big gap in my current repertoire of stories for something light and romantic.[/*] [*]I'm busy most weekends, though I can usually at least get a post or two out in the evening/morning if you're about[/*] [*]OOC is a must, if only to help formulate the story together and guide it to the most exciting plot points.[/*][/list] So, to sum: I'm looking for a writer who can post multiple times a day, won't get too hung up on length vs quality in her posts, is willing to write smut and communicate to form a story. As for plots, I have a few of my own but what I [i]really[/i] enjoy doing is writing a story [i]you're[/i] really into. What's that one story you never found a partner for? What's that taboo you've kept hidden, or that fetish no one knows about? What's that itch you've never been able to quite scratch? Those kinds of stories are my favorite. I think that's enough talking for now. Find me on PM if you're interested. I'll post here when I've reached my capacity. Until then... cheers.
