Hello! I am putting out some feelers for some writing partners within a couple of fandom universes, but I am also interested in playing around with original ideas as well. Apologies in advance for how long this post is but hopefully it gets all of the necessary information out there! [b]About Me:[/b] • I'm 30+ and would prefer my writing partners to be 25+ . • I'm PST time zone, around enough for a few replies per week and have no preferences on time zones or frequency. I think of myself as a pretty low-pressure writing partner- This is a hobby and should be done for fun and when you have the time and energy for it. I'm patient and communicative, and won't be chasing anyone down for replies. [b]Please note, if you are someone who needs rapid-fire replies, I am not the partner for you.[/b] • I've been roleplaying for over half my life at this point, and consider myself an advanced literate writer. Quantity doesn't always equal quality, but I do expect replies to be comparable in skill, not just length. I also write past tense, 3rd person storybook/novella style. [i][b]I would prefer to trade writing samples before we plot to make sure our styles align, so please send me a writing sample when you reach out![/b][/i] • I am happy to write over dms, discord, google docs, email, forums and other online platforms. It's all open to discussion or up to your preference. I would prefer to plan in DMs before moving to another platform though. • I am OOC friendly and LOVE to plot and worldbuild though I prefer to keep the OOC chatter to RP-based discussion (sharing art, gifs, memes, etc!) and not wade into personal too much. • I prefer to use real life faceclaims and will not engage with AI art of any kind in my writing. By virtue of the canons and the pairings I enjoy, I do tend to favor darker themes: complex moral compasses, slow burn romances, changing allegiances, power struggles, enemies to lovers, Stockholm syndrome, violence and actions motivated by strong feelings. I am open to NSFW elements and even enjoy them - But only in service of the story and not in place of it. Would prefer a 90/10 split of plot/smut if we're able to get there. [b]The Fun Stuff:[/b] For this search I am only looking to write [b]a canon character against another canon character or an OC against an OC[/b]. I only write female characters as my mains, but it's tough to move a story forward with only two POV characters, so I am happy to puppet side characters and NPC's to drive the plot along! [b]I do not double.[/b] I am open to MxF, FxF, NBxF pairings, and am down for all sorts of shenanigans- shipping, history re-writing, modern AUs, combining book/show/game canon, etc. Just ask! Beside the fandoms are the characters I have experience playing, but open to playing others if you're looking for something specific! And just as a general note, I age up my characters to 18+ no matter where in the timeline we set our story. [b]FANDOM:[/b] I am open to writing against all sorts of canon characters but I will list my favorites in parentheses beside each. [b]Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire:[/b] (Book and/or Show Canon) • Sansa Stark (Jon Snow, Jamie Lannister, Oberyn Martell, Daenerys Targaryen, Margaery Tyrell) • Margaery Tyrell (Jon Snow, Robb Stark, Jamie Lannister, Sansa Stark, Daenerys Targaryen) • Myrcella Baratheon (Robb Stark, Arya Stark) • Lyanna Stark (Rhaegar Targaryen, Robert Baratheon, Arthur Dayne, Jamie Lannister, Elia Martell, Cersei Lannister, Ashara Dayne) [b]Harry Potter:[/b] (Book Canon) • Ginny Weasley (Draco Malfoy, Tom Riddle, Blaise Zabini, Sirius Black, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Fleur Delacour, Luna Lovegood, Bellatrix Lestrange, Pansy Parkinson) • Narcissa Black (Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Tom Riddle, Lily Evans) [b]Legend of Zelda:[/b] (Most well-versed in BOTW canon, but open to Ocarina of Time as well) • Princess Zelda (Link, Ganon) [b]Sarah J Maas Universe:[/b] (Have read all of ACOTAR, TOG and CC, though I have never written in this fandom before, so pretty open on pairings!) • Nesta Archeron • Manon Blackbeak [b]Marvel/MCU:[/b] (With this I ask for your patience as I am slowly familiarizing myself with comic lore, but have seen all MCU films & tv series) • Natasha Romanov (Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Loki, Steve Rogers/Captain America, Yelena Belova, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlett Witch) • Sue Storm/Invisible Woman • Emma Frost [b]ORIGINAL:[/b] I also really love writing original characters based in fandom settings and have some general ideas for a few of the above fandoms, mostly [b]GOT/ASOIAF[/b] and [b]HARRY POTTER[/b] but just ask about others! Some general areas of interest for original characters in original stories - [b]Medieval/High Fantasy:[/b] • Runaway princess ends up traveling with a troupe of adventurers on a quest, runs into someone nefarious with something to gain by intercepting her, accidentally stumbled upon a fae/elven kingdom where she doesn't quite belong • Arranged marriage between a princess or other highborn lady who has thus far resisted being married at all. It could be a political match or frankly her very tired father just trying to get rid of her. Either way -- Hijinx ensue! [b]Modern/Futuristic Spycraft:[/b] In general, I love the high stakes world of spycraft, inspired by James Bond, Mission Impossible, etc. and would love something set between assassins, spies, bounty hunters, etc. Either playing an agent, a rogue agent, an assassin or bounty hunter against their handler, a target they've been pursuing for some cat & mouse dynamics, a civilian who turns out to not be a civilian (think Mr & Mrs Smith the film) or their partner (think Mr & Mrs Smith the series). Generally quite open on this one, either set in present day or in the future high super high tech or set in a galaxy far, far away... I do have a character in mind I'd like to play who can be adapted to fit any of these scenarios. I prefer all characters be over the age of 30 for this one. [b]General Slice of Life:[/b] This is more of a trope list than specific plot ideas but I tend to enjoy playing frigid ice queen types against people who are fighting their own demons and like to metaphorically butt heads with them. I love contentious relationships in the enemies-to-lovers vein, like toxic or competitive colleagues or rivals in some other form or fashion. I know this is a lot of info, I just want to cover all of the bases to try and find the most compatible writing partners and I find putting it all out there at once to be the best way! [i][b]I ask that when you message me you reach out with the following:[/b][/i] Which fandoms you are interested in & the characters you are interested in playing or if you'd prefer to write OCs in a fandom or come up with a fun original world together What platform you prefer to write on A writing sample (and I'll share mine as well!) Looking forward to hearing from you!
