Hello, all~ I don't normally post public interest checks, but I've had a weirdly specific craving for a reality TV based RP for a while now, and I figured I may as well throw out a line and see if I get any nibbles.
First, here's some boring stuff, expectations, and the like:
Now if you made it through all that, here's the fun part!
So, there are quite a few directions this story could be taken in, and I intentionally left the minor characters open-ended for some sidebar romances and other drama.
If anyone has any interest in this RP, leave a comment or shoot me a PM! I'd love to discuss ideas and details!
First, here's some boring stuff, expectations, and the like:
- I'm seeking a long-term partner who can post at least once per week on average. However, this does not mean consistent long-term partner. I completely understand that life can get in the way, and you may have to disappear for days or months to take care of what's important. I only ask that you give me a head's up if you need to take a hiatus, so I don't think you've dropped the RP.
- Similarly, if you do at any time lose interest and no longer wish to continue, please please be honest with me! I'd much rather you drop out rather than continue writing a story you've lost fire for, but I need that upfront message admitting it. Ghosting doesn't give me the same sense of peace with the discontinuation. Also, I'm always open to discussing new ideas/new RPs for a story to get your interest back if you would like to continue writing with me, but don't like where the current plot is headed. Communication is key, after all!
- I'm an advanced roleplayer, so I expect my writing partners to be able to post at least 3 grammatically correct paragraphs. I know this is a lot to ask of some people, but it's something I can't really negotiate on, unfortunately.
- About the 18+ tag on this thread. I don't always write 18+ RPs, but this particular plot is going to contain some adult content (specifically in the grounds of sex, drug/alcohol use, and nudity), so I'd prefer my partner to be over the age of 18. I just don't feel as comfortable writing this sort of content with a high schooler. Sorry!
- Also relating to 18+ content, I do not write smut. I will lead up to a fade-to-black scene, but I will not use graphic language to describe specific sexual acts. Not even in PMs. It's a little out of my comfort zone, and I personally just don't feel like it adds anything important enough to the plot to be included.
- A little more into romance: The main romantic pairing in this RP will be MxF. Again, it's just a comfort thing for me. I'm fine with a few MxM and FxF minor characters, but I'd prefer to stick with a heterosexual pair for the mains.
- Characters! I'm looking for someone who would like to write for one MC with a large side cast of minor characters that will either be shared between us or split 50/50. I can get very detailed in my posts and write up to 2000+ word posts, so for the sake of time, I prefer not to double.
- Regarding character gender, I tend to prefer to play the M character. Even though I'm female IRL, I've always found that I'm more in tune with my masculine side (much to my husband's confusion sometimes), so my male characters are often more well-rounded than my female characters. Because of this, I'm looking for someone to play the leading F character in this RP!
- Lastly, I wanted to mention OOC chat. I'm an extrovert, and therefore a talker. I love to get to know the people I'm writing with on a personal level, so if you roleplay with me, expect lots of questions and interest in you as a person. Of course, I will never pry at your personal life if you don't want to share certain things, so you don't have to worry about that. Any questions I ask are always out of genuine curiosity and love of the uniqueness of all people <3
Now if you made it through all that, here's the fun part!
The general plot of this RP is a reality TV show about a group of select "average people" who've been thrown into a California ocean-side mansion for the summer to live with some well-known celebrities. Essentially, the draw for the show is average people having to learn to adapt to the wild and eccentric lifestyles of the rich and famous. They all come to the house with different goals in mind: Some hope to build connections in Hollywood to start up their own lives of fame, some are looking to get into relationships with their idols, and some are just in it for the parties and the paycheck. Naturally, plenty of drama and comedy ensues that help the show rise to the top of the charts in popularity.
The F character is one of the applicants whose audition tape snagged her one of the openings in the show, while the M character is one of the celebrities who was asked to participate in the show as well. Over the course of the summer, production coaxes the two into a show-mance in the hopes of using them to bring in more views. The two end up cuddling in the common areas of the house, kissing in the confessional booth, even fighting about the other flirting with someone else at the club and so on. Overall, the experience is a blast for both characters, but it's nothing either one expects to last once the show is over.
