Historical romance. Gay shit. ROMANCE. I want it. You do too, that's why you're here! [center]Boring stuff:[/center] - I'll post maybe once a week due to work and school, potentially more frequently if I'm having a light week and/or am procrastinating. (At the time of this posting I'm about to be on vacation for a while so I'll have some time to kill!) But, I log on daily to check PMs and talk OOC. For me, OOC chat is a must! - I write at an advanced level. [b]Please send a writing sample when you PM me![/b] I can provide one to you too. That way, we have a better idea whether it'll be a good fit, before we get too in-depth with plotting. To me, "advanced" is as much about writing quality and character development as it is about post length (although I think most of us can agree on quality > quantity and not overly padding a post for length's sake). I can write anywhere from a few solid paragraphs to a few pages, depending on what I'm working with. - No limits, really. Fade to black is fine, or we can write it out. Generally, smut isn't my favorite thing ever, but I'm GGG if you love it! - For general interest and edification, I usually play males, but I'm open to any gender/pairing/orientation. At the moment, I'm really craving MxM, but I'm also always open to MxF if you think we'd be a good fit! - Romance is a must. Drama and angst are a must. Character development is a must. - I do a wide range of other genres, settings, pairings, etc. So if you think we're a good fit but you're not vibing with these ideas, PM me anyway and we'll go from there! Take a peek at my old ICs if you want~ [center]Fun stuff:[/center] I have a couple pairing premises in mind. These notions are open to discussion/interpretation. Obviously these are just a jumping-off point and we'd be plotting a lot more as we go. [hider=Servant x Nobleman] The gist of it is a romance between a servant and a nobleman not form the servant's household. The nobleman is courting a girl from a wealthy family (perhaps to secure his inheritance, or perhaps he is a fortune hunter) and ends up getting entangled with one of their servants. Yes, I stole this idea from the first episode of Downton Abbey. No, I am not ashamed. [i]I really want to turn this into a story in its own right![/i] It's okay if you haven't seen the show though, I'm not looking to RP Downton Abbey. (Although I guess that could be fun too...) Beyond the basic premise, I haven't come up with any other ideas. I think it could be interesting if the nobleman character was a bit of a heartbreaker, toying with the servant's emotions (like in the show, lol). As to who plays whomst, I'm flexible. I think either role could be a lot of fun! I'm [i]slightly[/i] leaning towards the nobleman role, though. [/hider] [hider=Queer Love Affair-- Aristocrat x Someone] Pretty basic idea, but Character 1 is married, and has a queer love affair in secret with Character 2. Character 2 could be a stranger, someone from another social class, a friend, or even family. [/hider] [hider=Historical Vampires] God, fuck, I know, it's been done to death, but [i]vampires are sexy and fun[/i], what do you want from me? I don't have much a premise for this, I'm just craving some gay historical vampire shit (or even some modern vampire shit tbh). Could also be MxF vampire shit, though, lol. We'd have to come up with a plot together. [/hider] I'm also open to modern settings as well, I just happen to be craving historical RPs at the moment. If you have a plot or idea you've been wanting to try, and think we'd be a good fit, PM me! Okay... I think that's all for now. See you in the PMs!
