[center]Hello, there! First, thank you for your mild curiosity and potential interest in writing a story with me![/center] [hr] [img]http://fontmeme.com/permalink/170222/02363965241a8015e8cd40858b921046.png[/img] [list] [*] 18+ = RP Partner Must Be 18+ (preferrably older, but whatevs) [*] Female, plays all pairings (MxM, FxM, FxF) and either gender. [*] My Typical Response Time (minimum) = One to two days for OOC, RPs could vary but will respond at least once a week, maybe more. [*] Typically High-Cas, can do Casual or Advanced. [*] Roleplaying Limits = will [u]not[/u] do torture or rape/molestation actively, though it may be part of a character's past. [*] I like romance. I like depressing romance with a happy ending the best. Slow burns are usually preferred, unless otherwise specified. [*] I appreciate a slow burn waaaay more than instant infatuation. In fact, instant infatuation drives me crazy - attraction is one thing, but immediately 'ride or die' is a bit ugggh. [*] If there is romance, I'm ok with fade-to-black or giving details. Whatever my writing partner prefers. [*] If romance is involved or even a possibility, I won't write a character under the age of 18 or agree to a partner's character being under 18. [*] Romance isn't necessary to write with me. Respecting the individuality of our characters is. [*] Savvy = Mostly do PM posts - so, my post count won't be reflective of how active I am - [i]and[/i] [*] Have been writing over 15 years. It is my only “hobby” though I don’t have some crazy superiority complex about it. [/list] [hr] [center]Looking for one writing buddy.[/center] Below are genres I enjoy with pairings I'm interested in. I have vague plots for each, but am good with co-writing something new up. They all are for any gender pairing, and don't necessarily have to be romantic. * = My Preference No * = I'm good with either Since I've been asked to clarify: Non-descript on genders Example from below = 'abused spouse' is male or female, dependant on set up/up for discussion Slice of Life [list] [*]Person x Best Friend's Sibling* [*]Abused Spouse* x Random Person Who Helps [*]Up for suggestions - easiest topic to write under [/list] Sci-Fi/Post-Apocalypse [list] [*]Expedition Leader x Team Member (some thriller aspects) [*]Expedition Leader x Planet Native [*]Survivor x Survivor (zombies around) [*]Scavenger* x Raider [/list] Fantasy [List] [*]Merperson x Coastal Townsperson [*]Royalty x Bandit [/List] Historical-Fiction [list] [*]Native x Lost Aristocrat [*]Frontiersman* x Lost Explorer [*]Outlaw* x Bounty Hunter/Marshall [/list] Fandom - OCs only - rarely include canon, just like the setting [list] [*]Walking Dead [*]Fallout [*]Dungeons & Dragons [*]Firefly [*]This War of Mine [*]Cyberpunk 2077 [*]Hunger Games [*]Dragon Age [*]Red Dead Redemption [*]Mass Effect [/list] [hr] [center][b]Disclaimer on my disposition[/b][/center] If you have a specific plot on your own IC you really want to write, hit me up and I’ll check it out. I'm a sucker for slice of life. However~ [b]please don't ask me to write the intro if it's your idea[/b]. Tbh, I'm kind of tired of writing intros for people only for them to disappear. I donno if it's that it doesn't fit their idea or what, but ... c'mon. I'm flexible on a lot of things and communicate ideas, so all I ask is mutual respect in that area. Alright? Alright. [hr] I'm subscribed to this, so if you post here I'll see it - if you prefer to PM me, then go right ahead~ I look forward to hearing from interested individuals~ [hr] If you're an old partner who is worried I won't be up for reconnecting because you ghosted, no worries~ I know life gets hectic and the real world sweeps us away, it certainly has happened to me as well. Just putting that out there because I often don't reach out to people for that very reason. :) [hr] [center][b]My Writing Style for RPs[/b][/center] [center]Another disclaimer. People either really like my writing style or really hate it, so boom, here goes.[/center] [hider=Be(a)ware - I'm... atypical? expanded]TL;DR - don't steamroll our RP. Don't write for my character without discussing it with me first. I consider role play writing as partner writing where I control my characters and make decisions for my characters and display actions for my characters, and my partner does the same for theirs. I get defensive for my characters when their reactions are assumed and a scene continues without my input. That being said, I write to allow my partner's characters time to react to what my character says or does. That's the part that is aggravating to some - I don't and will not assume what a partner's character's reaction will be a majority of the time. It's primarily why I don't 'require' a post length. Quality over quantity. You'll never get less than a paragraph from me if you'd like to be my writing partner, I promise, but it's likely it will mostly be narrative. If there is dialogue, then I wait on a response before continuing on. My characters never ask more than one question at a time unless it's natural to what's happening - as in, they're mad and yelling about something, firing off rhetorical questions. To me, role play writing is taking on the role of your character and giving life to them. I dislike having to 'fill in the blank' when a partner posts an entire apartment tour or date scene, it makes it seem like my character's reactions wouldn't matter. Honestly, it's probably just rushing to the juicy bits, but I'm not about that. Don't get me wrong, I can write some hellacious smut once the characters get there, but ... gotta give my characters reason to be interested enough for me to put in the effort. =P Ah, I should say that it makes my characters all seem introverted and the silent type. They're not. Any bit of dialogue I do write is meant to continue on without interruption. Some people fill in or throw in a question by their character between the "Insert Sentence Here" - narrative describing what my character does while speaking because people don't stand stock still as they talk - "Another sentence". It kinda would dislodge whatever my character was in the middle of saying. - Also a reason why I don't have my character respond to multiple questions in a post. At least, fill-in-the-blank style. Don't worry, I'll let you know if my character has been 'boxed in' and I'd hope you'd do the same. I try not to do it, but I have and never mind re-writing something. Lastly - for now, haha - I [i]never[/i] mind re-writing something if I wrote too much or too little for my partner, or if I incorrectly assume or misinterpret something a partner's character does. Please let me know. I feel like my characters are a lot smarter than I am most of the time. If you'd like to see writing samples, I have plenty to provide and will happily do so since this makes it sound as if I'm ridiculous. I know I am, but not for my partner writing preferences. If it's not your cup of tea, then reading this saved us some time. If it makes sense, you're cool with it, you have questions, hit me up. I like talking to people.[/hider]
