[justify]hey, i'm [b]ᴄᴀʀʀᴀᴡᴀʏ[/b]. they/them, big old nerd. on the east coast of the us, and i work during the day, but i'm typically around. you can contact me over email at [b]ʙɪʟʟʏᴄᴏʀɢɪᴀɴ[/b] at gmail. i nearly always have it open, so you'll get a response most quickly from that. i do have a discord, but i'm not looking to write on it, so if you'd like it (hargrowl#3929), it'd be just for chatting and plotting. i'm open to google docs, email, and PMs. [/justify] [justify]i typically try to match your word count, but i can fairly reliably write [b]over 300 words[/b], although [b]500-700 seems to be pushing it [/b]these days. i [b]love making characters[/b], especially ones that match one another. call me a sap, but i really enjoy[b] love stories[/b], and have a bad habit of wanting them to be at the forefront of most lines. i need to work on handling [b]more than one character at a time[/b], but if you'd like to help with that, i wouldn't object. i typically write male characters, and while i prefer writing [b]m/m[/b] or other [b]non-straight[/b] relationships, [b]i'm rarely open to m/f[/b], and if i do write female characters, i mostly write [b]f/f [/b]or other [b]non-straight[/b] pairings. i'm open to whatever resources you want to use to represent your characters. [/justify] [justify] i miss writing[b] sappy love stories [/b]between [b]gay characters[/b]. gimme a typical [i]high school romance [/i]that's that dumb '[i]together forever[/i]' love, gimme [b]love at first sight[/b], soulmate universes, coffee shop universes. honestly, i just miss writing kind of stereotypical characters falling in love and having a good time because honestly i want uncomplicated stuff to write. i love simply resolved [i]angst, rom-com typical misunderstandings, and love triumphing over everything[/i]. i'm cool with [i]mutual pining, fake dating, [/i]and i have a great fondness for 'renting' a date for a wedding. i know this is a lot of just random statements, but i can't quite put into words what i want beyond [b]'lgbt cuties falling in love!!!!'[/b] and so i thought i'd try and give you a tiny bit more to work on. cute femmes falling in love with the new butch girl at their school, greaser-looking boys taking their boyfriends on a motorcycle ride after school. Trans characters who are experiencing gender euphoria! Characters that love each other and are making their best life together! [/justify]
