THE GENERAL STUFF:
- 18+ mature themes here. Violence, language, drugs, sex, etc. I'm all for dirt and grit.
- Expect regular posts from me. That being said, I’m absolutely okay with less frequent posts – say weekly or every other week. Every thread is different. Also, the world is a garbage fire due to current events, so I think everyone gets a free pass on some of this stuff.
- Please understand basic grammar. Know where the punctuation goes in dialogue. I’m the first to admit that I fall into all sorts of traps (I love a good em-dash, I sometimes don’t write complete sentences, commas get lazy, whatever, like this) and humans are humans. If you care slightly more than the average person, we’ll be great.
- Call me out on my shit. Did I contradict myself, assume something about your character, or write something just…bad? Tell me! I genuinely want to hear. We’re creating together.
- I don’t have expectations for post length or content. Write, contribute to the story, acknowledge my post in a few ways, etc. Sometimes I’ll write a thousand words, and sometimes it will be a handful of sentences. I’ll work with what you give me.
- No fandoms or pre-made characters. I don’t want to be in someone else’s sandbox. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading a lot of it, but writing it just doesn’t work out for me.
- I’d like to stick with something modern and contemporary. I get too bogged down in world-building, historical settings, etc.
- MxF mostly. If it matters, I’m a woman who writes women and men with equal frequency. I’m pretty indifferent about which side I play.
- Last, please spare me your soft porn. I’m all in for the occasional sexy time, but if that’s your priority, let me save you the effort now.
Let’s make some characters, pick a plot, and drop them in the water! Stay true to your creation and don’t be afraid to fight with my character or cause drama. I revel in the moment where things are going horribly and I doubt if they’re ever going to fix it. People sometimes have a tendency to be garbage, and I enjoy exploring how humans behave at their worst or weakest – I’m a fighter for the underdog.
And now the fun stuff!
THEMES:
Crime
Addiction/recovery
Infidelity
Power differences
Melodrama
Military
Scars/injuries
PLOTS:
I’m 100% open to changing or mashing together any of these. They’re designed to get the juices flowing and show you a bit of what I’m looking for.
Soldier x Widow
After her husband dies overseas, a small-town mother reluctantly accepts the help of her brother-in-law with the house.
Politician x Bodyguard
He’s charged with protecting her, but as the differences between her public and private life become difficult to mitigate, he decides to set parameters.
Cop x Informant
His best source works at a seedy, downtown strip club. He often has to choose between her safety and his, but when the law becomes blurry, so does his judgment.
Detective x Detective
It’s been a few years since the big, unsolved case that drove their careers apart. When new evidence arises, they agree to take on that old case, but their personal bullshit threatens their ability to get the job done.
WRITING SAMPLE:
Because I’m new to the site, and there’s not a lot of my stuff on the boards yet --
UPDATES:
01/30/21: Give me anything melodramatic. I'm not picky.
