Hi! You can call me Storm! I'm 30 and the mom of a loud and demanding cat. I'm an advanced lit/novella style writer. I love to write detailed descriptions and delve into a character's head/emotions as well as surroundings. I compare it to writing a novel together. I expect to mirror lengths (3 - 5+ paragraphs) but if there are action or dialogue heavy scenes, I tend to do a shorter back and forth to keep the momentum going. I only do MxF with myself writing the female role. I don't double, but I'm more than happy to write side characters of either gender to help move the story along. I accept partners of all genders but prefer female/female presenting writers. I have anxiety and ADHD. One of the biggest issues with the latter is memory problems. If I haven't replied in a while, reach out to me. I probably made a mental note to do it and never got around to it. I'd forget my own head if it wasn't attached. I also sometimes don't have the mental or emotional energy for replies but I'm happy to chat/plot ooc until I do. Searching For: - I'm looking for a large but legal age gap with older cis-male characters (40 - 50+). I love the gruff and tough men with dark pasts who secretly have a soft heart. I also love grumpy, masculine men being intimidated by sweet but fiery women. My characters tend to be 25 - 35+. No submissive/damsels in distress here. I'm [i]not[/i] looking for age play. It's a romance between two consenting adults who each act exactly their age and they just happen to be different ages. - Please no passive plotters. Play an equal role in moving the story forward. I love to build off each other's ideas and create amazing scenes. I'm also more than happy to write side characters of either gender to expand the world. While we're on the subject, don't god-mod my character. - Enthusiasm while chatting about our characters, ship, and worldbuilding. I'm a certified yapper and would love someone to match that energy. I can and will drop head-canons/random plot ideas at 3 AM. I also want to make pinterest boards, spotify playlists, gifs, and funny memes. - While I'd prefer real life face claims, I'd also be open to using realistic art if you're uncomfortable with real life. Though I draw the line at anime/cartoon style art.
