Introduction:
Note: Your gender identity won't affect my choice in writing with you. I just seek out people who play male characters, I personally had great experience writing with female identifying partners who played male roles. And yeah, you gotta be comfortable with writing adult content (profanity, violence and smut, no fade to black)
I just had this craving lately to do a massive pirate story that has everything, from political intrigue, adventures and action, to mysteries, curses and horrors. I cannot ignore that crave anymore, it's really bugging me how much I want to do such a massive and compelling story, and given the fact that this has been bothering me for months, I know for a fact I'll be able to keep this one up for a long time.
Before I get into the nitty gritty, I just need to mention that I need a partner who's into storytelling and world-building, including side characters and just creating all sorts of new things and elements that will benefit the story. And one of the more important aspects for a wanted partner is that they love doing character building, as well. I'm not settling for anything else. If we need to write 20 pages of long text just by planning our story before we even begin, so be it.
Plot and character concepts:
Basically like the Pirates of the Caribbean meets Black Sails, sprinkled with Lovecraftian horror. Literally everything you could ever ask for in this kind of a story, I want it in there.
The main thing I want to kind of focus on for the start are the characters and a "normal" setting in the world. What do I mean by normal setting? I mean things are not magical and fantastical at first. Only mythologies are spoken by the people, describing what might be out there, shanties of the curses and monsters, but nothing has ever been confirmed. It's just that - stories birthed out of fear. Most of the concerns at the beginning are either regarding rivalry between pirates, political intrigues and concerns between the powers that be and the pirates, classicism and other social issues, that would slowly lead towards an adventure, hunt for some treasure that would slowly reveal something much bigger that has been skulking in the background of this world. Perhaps a world-ending threat that has been awakened. Or something entirely else. I want to work on these details with you.
Side characters are a must. I love having romance in the story between the protagonists, and dirty smut is always welcome, it just needs a proper buildup. If you're looking to get characters to get off soon, this won't be a story for you. I want to actually develop a nuanced world and story. Until our characters don't get to that point in their relationship where they'll get messy together, it might not happen for a bit. All depends on who our characters are.
With that said, I'm doing MxF pairings, with me playing a female.
One of the ideas that I did have for my character is that she belongs to a wealthy masked pirate organization. They're not just primitive sailors who kill and raid, it has been formed by a former politician/lord/noble who has disguised himself to hide his identity as he wants to mess up the system that has betrayed him and this has been happening for decades - which had also developed the whole identity of the pirate organization where all members wear black clothing and masks that would conceal their true identities. MC is presented as one of the few female pirates (if not the only one here) who has a secret and tragic background. However, her new identity had captured the attention of many people that she developed a reputation. She is not only taking from the reputable rich people, she's also an assassin of sorts. Her true identity and appearance will be unknown until it is dramatically appropriate to reveal it in the story.
How I wanted this specific pirate organization to have anything to do with the massive story is that the captain had been cursed somehow and he's trying to find a way to relieve himself of the dreaded thing that haunts him. I do have the idea from where this curse comes from and I actually found a shanty on youtube that can easily be the song that describe this man's struggle that will lead to a very dark fate.
Anyway, this is what I have so far for this story idea. If you're interested, please send me a message!
Anyway, here are some more to-the-point short details that are about myself as a writer and my expectations for my ideal partner:
So you're interested?
Awesome! All that's left to do is to send me a PRIVATE MESSAGE. Not here, don't post here, it annoys me more than I care to admit.
However, I will heavily judge a person based on their first message they send me. I need to know from the start if we're compatible. If you send me just a line of text in inbox, I'm not gonna bother reading, let alone respond.
Given that I did my best to let you know here everything you need to know about me as a writer, I want you to be detailed about yourself when you send me a message. If I captured your attention, I think its only fair you try to do the same to capture my attention!
