BUMP!! Currently craving Dealer x Addict, anything Victorian/Regency, and/or playing a pastor/religious figure of some sort :D I'm also up for any of the plot bunnies, or feel free to mix and match pairings and keywords. Alternatively, bring me YOUR cravings and let's work something out!
Historical romance. Gay shit. ROMANCE. I want it. You do too, that's why you're here!
Boring stuff:
- I'll post maybe once a week due to work and school, potentially more frequently if I'm having a light week and/or am procrastinating. (At the time of this posting I'm about to be on vacation for a while so I'll have some time to kill!) But, I log on daily to check PMs and talk OOC. For me, OOC chat is a must!
- I write at an advanced level. Please send a writing sample when you PM me! I can provide one to you too. That way, we have a better idea whether it'll be a good fit, before we get too in-depth with plotting. To me, "advanced" is as much about writing quality and character development as it is about post length (although I think most of us can agree on quality > quantity and not overly padding a post for length's sake). I can write anywhere from a few solid paragraphs to a few pages, depending on what I'm working with.
- No limits, really. Fade to black is fine, or we can write it out. Generally, smut isn't my favorite thing ever, but I'm GGG if you love it!
- For general interest and edification, I usually play males, but I'm open to any gender/pairing/orientation. At the moment, I'm really craving MxM, but I'm also always open to MxF if you think we'd be a good fit!
- Romance is a must. Drama and angst are a must. Character development is a must.
- I do a wide range of other genres, settings, pairings, etc. So if you think we're a good fit but you're not vibing with these ideas, PM me anyway and we'll go from there! Take a peek at my old ICs if you want~
Fun stuff:
I have a couple pairing premises in mind.
These notions are open to discussion/interpretation. Obviously these are just a jumping-off point and we'd be plotting a lot more as we go.
The gist of it is a romance between a servant and a nobleman not form the servant's household. The nobleman is courting a girl from a wealthy family (perhaps to secure his inheritance, or perhaps he is a fortune hunter) and ends up getting entangled with one of their servants.
Yes, I stole this idea from the first episode of Downton Abbey. No, I am not ashamed. I really want to turn this into a story in its own right! It's okay if you haven't seen the show though, I'm not looking to RP Downton Abbey. (Although I guess that could be fun too...)
Beyond the basic premise, I haven't come up with any other ideas. I think it could be interesting if the nobleman character was a bit of a heartbreaker, toying with the servant's emotions (like in the show, lol).
As to who plays whomst, I'm flexible. I think either role could be a lot of fun! I'm slightly leaning towards the nobleman role, though.
Pretty basic idea, but Character 1 is married, and has a queer love affair in secret with Character 2.
Character 2 could be a stranger, someone from another social class, a friend, or even family.
God, fuck, I know, it's been done to death, but vampires are sexy and fun, what do you want from me?
I don't have much a premise for this, I'm just craving some gay historical vampire shit (or even some modern vampire shit tbh). Could also be MxF vampire shit, though, lol. We'd have to come up with a plot together.
I'm also open to modern settings as well, I just happen to be craving historical RPs at the moment.
If you have a plot or idea you've been wanting to try, and think we'd be a good fit, PM me!
Okay... I think that's all for now. See you in the PMs!
I have a specific premise that I'd like to try right now, so go on and take a gander! The idea is not very fleshed out as of yet, the title pretty much says it all. This could be MxM or MxF.
- My style is novel-ish, and my post length can vary from a few paragraphs to a couple of pages, depending on the flow and what you give back. I rarely post less then 4-5 paragraphs but I love to write more whenever possible!
- PMs please :3
- Also, I'm big on OOC chat. I like to plot and get all excited with you and geek out over the story! Let's be friends? :D
- If we're keeping up an OOC chat, I'll tell you if I'm having trouble responding or losing interest. If you don't keep up with me OOC, I might say something if I'm struggling, but it's awkward if we don't have rapport.
- I want lots of drama between the characters, and prefer darker themes and elements.
- I play male characters, but I'm open to pairing with any gender.
- Please send a writing sample when you PM, so that we can tell if our writing styles will mesh! It's so disappointing to plot and get hype, only for the fledgling RP to die if our writing styles aren't a good fit. I'll provide a writing sample in return, if you want, just let me know!
On to the good stuff!
YC is an aristocrat from a noble family who is disenchanted with their charmed life of idle wealth. Innocent, and pure, likely the youngest child, YC has been sheltered from the world. One of YC's greatest joys in life is the escapism of seeing shows at the theater.
MC is an actor and playwright-- brilliantly talented but broke, troubled, and living a life of jaded debauchery.
MC writes a play that makes it to one of the more prestigious playhouses. MC gives the performance of his life and meets with accolades and a standing ovation. YC sees said performance, and loves it so much, they want to meet him afterward. YC sees the actors misbehaving backstage and is further intrigued by MC's lifestyle.
YC starts coming around the playhouse more often and gets sucked in to the sordid life of the struggling playwright. MC delights in "corrupting" YC in every imaginable way. Eventually, YC comes to find out that MC has an opium addiction, which started after MC came home from fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. (This could take place in either England or France-- take your pick.)
The two start to fall for each other, and the relationship is turbulent. Culture clashes, social pressures, and heated arguments threaten to tear them apart. Their love is so strong that it seems to withstand anything-- at first. But will YC be able to withstand the pressure from their family to abandon her sordid affair? Will YC get sick of watching MC self-destruct? Or perhaps their love will last until MC's addiction gets the better of him?
I would love for this be quite a dark and intense RP. I'm open to adjusting the plot, although I'm pretty dead-set on playing the troubled opium addict veteran lmao.
Well, that's all for now. Please send me a PM with a writing sample if you're interested!
I have a specific premise that I'd like to try right now, so go on and take a gander! The idea is not very fleshed out as of yet, the title pretty much says it all, lol. This could be MxM or MxF. I'm sort of craving MxM at the moment though :O

On to the good part!
YC is a noble, man or woman, in the Regency or Victorian era. An invalid, they are often housebound, and spend a lot of time outdoors to benefit their health. The family is extravagantly wealthy and are famed for the lavish gardens on both their country and city estates.
MC is the newly-hired groundskeeper and master gardener, who comes to the estate after the old groundskeeper retires. He's a fairly quiet man of gruff words and calloused but gentle hands. Having grown up in a workhouse, he's used to a hard life, and has worked hard to get to where he is now. Given his history and position, I'm imagining him to be in his forties. (I'm prone to age gaps, lol. If you really want me to age him down, I could make him an apprentice.)
Both our characters are married, which presents as many problems as their class difference does as the two bond over their love of the gardens. YC does as much gardening as they can, but they require MC's help a lot of the time due to their condition. Forced proximity leads to attraction, and eventually, deeper feelings than that.
What we do from there is up to us! Obviously YC's illness will be a source of drama. I was thinking there could be some drama with YC being called away to town, or having to visit the seaside to recover from a particularly bad bout of illness. YC tries to contrive ways to have MC come with them without rousing suspicion. It could also be interesting if one or both of our characters had a relatively happy marriage, thereby complicating things even more.
I'm sure we can come up with more drama between the two of us-- this is just the basic idea!
Thanks for reading! If you think we'd be a good fit, send me a PM!
