Hi there, I'm a writer in his 30s in GMT timezone and I'm looking for some partners for an idea I've had which I'm going to outline below. I'm looking to play a main male character opposite a main female character, but as part of any good story we'd be writing NPCs and additional characters too so I'm looking for someone who's willing to take their fair share of that. Also I'm looking for someone who's able and willing to bring the plot along, as much as I've come up with these ideas I don't want to be the only one who advances the plot.
I'm happy to write on Discord or Google Docs and I'm usually around during the week to write and chat. I don't tend to be online at the weekend so I'm looking for someone who will be patient and I'll of course be patient with you too. I think as long as we communicate then there should be no issues. I'd say I'm an advanced/novella writer but the actual length of posts will depend on the scene and what I'm given to work with. I'm open to romance in this story as well.
Now, onto my plot idea. These are mostly outlines of where things can start, we can talk more about the idea and come up with the details together.
This is sort of inspired by Dune, but only loosely, it's also got influences from things like A Song of Ice and Fire/House of the Dragon, but with a sci-fi spin. The setting would be noble houses but in space, there's an overarching Empire and your character is part of the imperial family. The previous Emperor was a good man (at least superficially), loved or respected by the majority of his subjects. Your character is one of his children and my character is part of a regiment that's assigned as her honour guard.
The night that the Emperor dies, his brother (your character's uncle) launches a coup and manages to kill most of the Emperor's family. Your character is the only one who escapes, with help from my character. They flee to the outer edges of the Empire, far from the capital and they need to try and build things back up from there, deciding how to return and take the throne away from the usurper.
Like I said this is basically something like a mix between Daenerys' story from Game of Thrones and Rhaenyra's story in House of the Dragon but in space, with intrigue and alliances and all that fun stuff. I've got a bunch of images for aesthetics that I can share with anyone who's interested but I love the idea of things being a bit more gritty in their style. A huge influence on the kind of tech and aesthetic is a game called Highfleet but if you haven't played that it's not a big deal I can show you what I mean. The idea is tactile mechanical tech instead of slick, floaty advanced sci-fi tech. People still use swords etc. as well as guns (a bit like how there's a lot of hand-to-hand weapons in Dune).
If this sounds interesting to you please get in touch via discord (Danko2) and we can take it from there. I'd love to hear your thoughts and discuss the ideas more and see what we can come up with. Something I should mention is that I like using face claims of real people and I'd really love to play opposite someone using Phoebe Bridgers or Milly Alcock as their face claim, but that's not a dealbreaker it would just be a bonus for me.
I look forward to hearing from you!
