First things first,

I'm a 26 yr writer, been writing for well over 10 years. Started back in the AOL chatroom days, learned to write quickly and well. I want advance writers who can produce a good amount (at least 3 paragraphs and preferably more) of detailed, fair grammar and spelling, rich in plot and character development material on a pretty regular basis. I'm looking for at least one reply a day (of course some circumstances make it such that you can't (travel etc) but ultimately this is a regular thing) .

I want someone who will bring lots to the table when it comes to plot, story, character development and OOC.

I like stories to flow naturally, characters to be REAL meaning not perfect. Quirks, nitty gritty, ass hats and push overs all welcome. No demi gods here. I like relationships (whether they be friends, enemies or romance) to develop over time. No instantly falling in love or hate.

I can play males but I prefer to write females.

Now...

For the plots. I have three things I want to write.

1) Time travel. I don't have a place or a time set in mind but I think it would be great for one character to be a 'native' and the other to be the 'traveler' . I think this will be going to the past, not the future.

2) Medieval fantasy setting, there is a new set of rulers on the throne and they cannot be trusted. My char is from a good name, and one of the riches in all the land. There are two other main chars for this so it might need to be a small group RP or a 1x1x1 or one of us takes up two major roles...however the two other chars are A) Warrior Noble who opposes the new 'happily married' rulers and is raging war, civil war. and B) Noble from the previously ruling house who needs to make good ties before his line is wiped out by the new rulers.

In this plot I see initially a LOT of interaction with the warrior/civil war guy and my char, but ultimately he dies or loses and is imprisoned depending on the number of writers. Once that happens it's a rush to bring the war torn country back together and for Char B to get in good.

I really want my char to either start seeing Char A's ghost or have some sort of way to be seeing him...And he whispers in her ear... If only she could get Char B on the throne, he'd be so much better. So Char A is in some way leading her to plotting and planning and suggesting and manipulating until it looks like the new rulers will fall.

It's a vague idea but it's stuck in my head.

To be clear I think Char A is brutal, rough, intense. He's not really a 'likable' guy (although surely there is something good there) and Char B is a flirt. It's how he's gotten by without appearing to be a real threat to the throne this long.

3) Your kingdom is ruled by a brutal and uncaring upper class. You were part of a rebellion that was squashed horribly. Rebels, barely out of childhood, killed brutally in the streets. Very few survived the "Fall" and those who did (like you) are scarred forever. Years and years have past and you haven't forgotten but you've found a way to make it through. Mostly with drinking and fighting and taking the odd job as a caravan guard (or the likes). You're not really that likeable...You're kinda an ass really and your people skills? They suck.

Enter my char, the new object of your...'affections?'. Weird creepy stalkerness? Whatever, for some reason you sort of think she's not the worst being ever in the world. So she's your ...well...Friend isn't really the right word but you don't want to strangle her as much as you do everyone else. Which is saying something cause you like to strangle people when your drunk. Which is always. Anyway.

Fast forward. You are out doing whatever it you do and you see a high ranking noble, one of those bastards responsible for leading an army against those young rebels you were so proudly a part of. That man watched on horse back while hundreds were slaughtered, cut down and trampled. He didn't even get his hands dirty. He just watched! It makes you sick. It lights that fire in your belly that had been gone for So many long years and suddenly you realize you cannot let this lie. You sober up, You start creating a new name for yourself...your new life...you're going to get in with those nobles, you're going to wait, and plot and get revenge for your fallen rebel brethren.

And just as you start getting in good? That bitch you sort of like / have a bit of an obsession with shows up! What do you do? Well you have to make a cover story quick as to why she knows you to your new noble buddies, you're pretending to be one of them after all.

In snaring my char into your plots she has to come along or all of it will be in vein. Enter a world of secret lives, high court and riches all the while plotting to take down the very people you are pretending to be a part of. Count of Monte Crisco in a fantasy setting with a less mentally and emotionally stable 'count'.

Okay. PM me

Are you open to other fantasy plot ideas, or just these?

@Sterling do you do MxM or FxF pairings ever? I am totally interested in the time travel idea, but I can't lie, I am awful at playing straight males, but I understand you wanting to play female
