Old-timer here, been out of the RP game for quite a while and looking to jump back in. I don’t have any particular stories or plots that I am aiming for right now, so I am dropping out this line in a more general sense. I would like to get involved with some 1x1 RP that is meaningful and involves growth. I want to create a story, build a world, explore our imaginations together!
To cover some basics, here is some general information that my be helpful in finding a match for a creative endeavor:
Style:
I prefer to write in a casual-to-moderate style. I like writing that expresses more than a character’s actions, but alludes to their feelings, their emotions, their thoughts. Does this mean posts always have to be lengthy and flowery? No, of course not. But I prefer to run creatively with someone who appreciates getting the insight to my character’s subconscious even if their character wouldn’t know it themselves; I find that the omniscient peek can help both of us as writers carry the story together much further when some hints are dropped via narrative.
Setting:
Thematically, I really love any version of high fantasy, medieval, or historical settings. I have recently begun to delve into the apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic genres and would be open to further exploration in that arena.
Insofar as fandoms are concerned, I prefer to use the worlds of a product I enjoy. I do not want to be connected directly to the primary story of any pre-established epic, but sometimes the world in which that story takes place can serve as a familiar set of social dynamics and rules within which to play. Meaning this: I love the Dragon Age series. I do not want to play my Inquisitor as a roleplay character, but I would love to play a Dalish in the world, interacting in the established territories of Ferelden, Orlais, etc.
With that in mind, here are some fandom universes that I would be open to dabbling in: Dragon Age, Skyrim, Fallout, any of the established D&D territories (Sword Coast, etc) including Exandria of Critical Role. List to be expanded as my brain works better. These suggestions are by no means comprehensive.
Rating:
I have no problem with things getting mature, so long as the mature events are a natural progression of the story we are building together. I don’t aim for smut for the sake of smut, but I absolutely do not have a problem with it as part of the organic evolution of our characters.
Because of this, I prefer to write with someone of an older persuasion, at least 21+. I do not want to be getting into themes or situations with a writer who is too young for the action to be proper for.
My Character(s):
For my primary narrative character, I will be playing female as that is where I feel most comfortable writing (for now, anyway). I can bring in secondary or tertiary characters of any persuasion as our story needs, but the protagonist in my hands will be female. I do not have a preference for the counterpart co-star of our narrative.
Alternative Rules:
The only idea I am currently percolating is a narrative that uses dice rolls as guides for the narrative action. I began to GM some 5E games about a year ago and have found the improvisational aspect of translating a roll to exposition an enjoyable challenge. I am not looking for us to roll for every interaction our characters have with one another, but I think it might be fun to incorporate some moderate stake dice rolls as a way to encourage both of us to work with characters that may not be able to perform the way we planned.
That being said, I am entirely open to the traditional narrative-only creative writing process where we both agree to work together on the outcomes of any conflict or scenarios our characters may find themselves entrenched in.

If you made it this far, kudos to you. If you think we may be a suitable pairing (I’m also open to a small grouping of 3-4 players), drop me a line. I’d love to hear some ideas.
