So, despite my low post count, I'm not new at this. I've been gone for a year (maybe more?) dealing with some stuff on the backend, but now that my calendar has freed up, I'm looking for partners!

A few general guidelines before I get this search underway:

** This is a space for 18+ (ideally 21+ but I make exceptions) due to occasional graphic violence, mentions of past/current abusive situations, horror, gore, and occasionally smut. I expect my partners to talk things out with me if there's a specific topic you'd like not to touch, and I'll do the same.

** I don't RP in the forums. There's nothing against it, but I don't like being watched by strangers when I craft stories with someone else. I work in PMs, Google Docs, and Discord!

** Be friendly and come with ideas! I'm not a horrible monster who will nitpick everything you say, and I'm generally more active with partners I consider a friend/nice to be around. OOC chat is always open, as I like to talk about ideas with my partner while we write to stay on track with each other.

** Old writing partners: Hi! If you're seeing this, I've likely tried to reach out to you about what we'd been working on before I needed to take an emergency departure. Feel free to get back to me if there's something you'd like to continue, I'd love to hear from you.

** I expect a high-casual/low-advanced level of writing. What that means is multiple paragraphs, thought, and emotion put into them, with good openings for a reply. Don't give me a wall of text that's impossible to reply to and continue the story. Spelling and grammar are hard, and I'll never outright correct you on mistakes, but I'm a writer by profession, and if you can't make things legible and easy to follow, it won't work.

Now that that's over with, let's get to what I'll write.

I'm comfortable playing any gender (I tend to swing towards males); pairings (if applicable) can be MxM FxM FxF (this includes all gender nonconforming characters as well). I've played multiple characters before and have no issues doing the same again if the story needs it. Romance isn't always needed! If you'd like to keep it just friends/coworkers/adventurers, that's absolutely fine with me.

Topics/Ideas:

Slice of Life
- this has to be my favorite, hands down. It can be any time period, any setting; it all works for me. Current ideas include:
* Best friends keeping their friendship (or romance) alive while long-distance
* Good ol' fashioned school drama (college preferred, but high school is cool too)
* Coworkers dealing with office drama and life
* High-fantasy dnd-style slice of life (follow around adventurers in their adventures type of story)

Sci-Fi/Fantasy - Again, this can include any other ideas you want to throw a twist/different setting into. I'm an avid fantasy fan, but I have dabbled into the more sci-fi realms as of late.
* Anything that has to do with courtly intrigue in a kingdom (no, seriously, I'm all about hushed whispers in empty castle hallways and secretive plans to form a coup)
* Long-distance space travel (going off to a new planet? a supply vessel that gets stranded/taken over? yes, all of it)

Steampunk/Western/Historical - This is a less used topic for me, and I'm not historically versed in things like WW1/WW2, but I'm open to ideas.
* Murder mystery with limited technology (to be honest, this fits in a lot of other categories, but I'm fascinated with people trying to solve some big crime using nothing but their brains)

There's likely more, but that's all I can think to put down. If you've got another idea, or want to tweak any of mine, just PM me and let me know.
