I’m interested in one-on-one collaboration with narrative depth. I can commit to two thoughtful posts a week. I write 3 - 5 paragraphs minimum and can go on for a dozen or more if there isn't heavy dialogue. Romance is not a requirement, but a romantic plot would have me writing a heterosexual male. I can write side characters of any gender/sex. Regardless of character relationship, I ask that any partner be 20+. The list of thematic disinterests will be much shorter than a list of interests. I am not interested in school, heavily militaristic, combat-oriented, or fandom settings. Otherwise, the setting and themes are less important than the delivery. I have seen posts of medieval, paranormal, high-fantasy, slice-of-life, cyberpunk, scifi, and settlement building plots that have all interested me. Forced to choose, I would love an ancient or classical era setting (e.g. Babylon, Rome, The Nile, Mohenjo Daro). On a personal note, I loved the following books: Shadow Of The Torturer (Gene Wolfe), the Three Body Problem series (Liu Cixin), Pillars Of The Earth (Ken Follett), and A Short History Of Nearly Everything (Bill Bryson). I hike the deer paths slowly, silently, and pause often. I can’t wait until my daughter is old enough to come, not long now. In the garden, I plant native perennials because I love the critters and the land as much as the flowers. Games of chance are a hoot but my heart is in calculated strategy. I draw with pencil and ink, in black and shades of grey, color seems to me an entirely separate hobby. I love tea. My wife says I make it too complicated, and I probably do, but I find peace in ritual.
