Hello, hello. This is my first interest check thread since this site went up ~2 years ago. I've been part of the Guild since 2011, so I'm not exactly a new face. I've been writing for years (I've got a degree to prove it), and I'm looking for someone to do a little adventuring with. [u][b]What I'm looking for:[/b][/u] - Firstly, I don't care if you're a guy or a gal. I don't care if you write as a guy or a gal, either. As long as you do your best, communicate well, and express your ideas, I'll probably be happy. - Someone who can write one or more posts a week. [i]I work 40+ hours a week, so I get the busy schedule thing. Things happen, and I'm willing to be patient, but I'm hoping for at least one post a week. [/i] - Someone with imagination, drive, good spelling/grammar [i](I didn't say 'excellent' because I don't want someone to be butthurt over a missed Oxford comma -_-)[/i], and the ability to co-create and direct a story. [b][u]What I'm NOT looking for:[/u][/b] - I'm not looking for a smut-fest. If romance pops up, fine, but I don't depend on that to perpetuate a story. - I'm not looking for someone who will write a fucking novel to express something they could have expressed in one paragraph. [i]If your character scratches their nose, they scratch their nose-- they don't have a philosophical revelation about the synapses of the brain that causes the muscle movement. Quality over quantity, blah, blah, blah. [/i] [u][b]Ok, you've made it this far. Congratulations! Here's what I'm interested in, in terms of content:[/b][/u] [b]- Gritty, modern, fantasy. [/b]I like supernatural meets human types of situations. I'm not looking to write the next Twilight-- my vampires aren't interested in going to prom. I'm interested in tense situations, survivalism, suspense, blood, and adventure. I'm not going to write a script and ask you to follow it. Let's come up with interesting characters, create some tension, and let the wind take us. [b]If you're interested, go ahead and send me a PM (you can reply to this thread but I'd prefer a PM so we can discuss) stating your interest, and tell me a bit about yourself. I like to know the mind behind the character.[/b] Thanks for reading~
