The Hunt Continues

[Innis]

Greetings, Guildies!

I am interested in finding a partner for a literary two-step, a waltz of words, or as the kids call it these days, a 1v1. My interests are many and varied, though usually of a darker nature, and I prefer dancing with writers above the age of 18 due to the possibility of mature content. The level of writing must be, of course, advanced, so be prepared for in-depth plots and characters, longer posts, and exemplary writing. As a personal preference, I'd like any potential partners also to be able to play a number of characters, in order to increase the size and scope of our stories. I am much more comfortable playing female leads when dealing with any sort of romantic pairing and I'm not into same sex romance. I am here for the story, for a pairing of artful language and clever plot, with the pinch of newness one gets from working with another mind. If this sort of literary tête-à-tête appeals to you, then I shall eagerly await your private message.

Sincerely,
A Hapless Harpy

Take a Gander Among a Few Ideas:

Dark Fantasy: I don't have much of a plotline for this one, but I'm interested in finding a party willing to weave a tale of suspense and intrigue. I imagine a world of rival thieves and assassins, of kings and mages, of forbidden love and murder most foul.

An Unlikely Pair: I'm in the mood to start a King and Commoner rp, full of court intrigue and set in a mid-fantasy world (no elves or dwarves, but some magic).

Ready, Set, Race!: Welcome to the hedonistic future, a place where utopia has had rather adverse consequences. In America 2162, nothing matters but entertainment, the next fix, the next bit of excitement to break the monotony of pointless existence. It's a small wonder then that the Races have become so popular. These fast, grueling lightbike races have become one of the primary industries of the entertainment industry. If you can survive and win, you'll earn fame and fortune. If not, you might just end up in a race for your life.

I'm also interested in hearing any ideas from the science fiction, fantasy, steampunk, cyberpunk, and dystopian genres. If you'd think we'd make good partners but don't see a plot you like, PM me anyway. I would love to devise something with you.

If you are interested:

1. PM ME.Please do not post here.

2. Let me know which of my ideas you are interested in -OR- Give me a description of your ideas, as brief or detailed as you please.

3. Tell me a bit about you: your preferences and what you want out of this rp.

New plots and things.

[Aristocles]

Well, perhaps we could have a dark fantasy world in which the planet is growing increasingly dangerous. Several major empires have broken down in the wake of a world war and a plague, civil strife and rebellions have shattered the successor states to said empires, barbarians exploit the havoc and attack almost unopposed. Cities have withered due to a collapse in trade and currency is rare in many areas. Cash-strapped kingdoms adulterate their currency's value to pay their soldiers, many of whom have turned to mercenary work when they fail to be paid in time. Dragons and other powerful monsters carve out petty realms of their own, bandits stalk the roads... you get the idea. Things suck.

Powerful magic users have either added to the chaos, or have withdrawn into an increasingly isolated world of towers and fortresses. These strongholds may be safe from attack, but are insular and confining. We can play two of these powerful mages who have chosen to largely abandon the world rather than take on the increasingly dangerous errand of trying to save it. Kingdoms would still exist, but most of them would be on the edge of existence, frequently just one lost battle away from collapse, and mages would be considered powers in their own right, often with their towers constituting their own pocket-sized realms where they are subject to no law but their own. Although rarely evil, these archmages are often amoral, or at least are very concerned with themselves. Power, prestige, and relative gains and losses factor into their every major decision, and they must constantly be aware of the shifting sands of politics.

Is this a good start, at least? Should I PM you?
