Search for a detailed, long-term partner

Hello one and all!

Thank you for taking the time to check out this thread. I’ll make it as neat and concise as I can. I’m really only looking for one, possibly two partners at this time. If you’re interested, please send me a PM and tell me a bit about yourself so we can start figuring out if we get along well :)

About me:
*Female, late twenties. Happy to roleplay as either males or females. I like mxf and fxf best.
*I hate terminology like “detailed” and “advanced”. I don’t like implying I’m better than anyone else, because I’m not. But my writing involves a certain degree of character development, proper grammar and spelling, creativity, and the ability to advance the plot.
*I love a good slow-burn romance. I like all my roleplays to either include romance or the possibility of it happening.
*I love to plot and chat with partners, and carry on rich, long-term roleplays.
*Able to put out at least one post most days of the week. I put a lot of effort into posts though, so I’m not grinding them out in record time.
*Post length... oh, post length. Such a controversial topic on sites like these, eh? It greatly varies. Expect plenty of long posts, a few short posts, and many that fall in the 2-5 paragraph range.
*Ditch friendly. We all have lives. I understand. Sometimes you get overwhelmed, right? Or you lose interest and don’t know quite why. If we work well together and you disappear on me, I won’t write you off my list. Please, when things get better, feel free to contact me again.
*Not particularly interested in writing out sex scenes. I love a good romance, but I hate when roleplay becomes, well, porn-with-plot. In order to avoid that, I’d rather fade to black, at least most of the time.

About my ideal partner:
*In their twenties or above.
*Able to post several times a week most of the time.
*Able to write with a high degree of character development and creativity. Not afraid to advance the plot. Writing is generally proofread and not rife with mistakes.

Genres/themes I particularly enjoy:
*Fantasy
*Dark Ages/ Medieval
*Feudal Japan
*Vikings
*Western
*Dystopian
*Post-Apocalyptic

Genres/themes I don’t really care for:
*Slice of life
*Superheroes/mutants
*Most fandom
*Historical that’s based on real people
*WWI or WWII
*Stories that don’t involve the possibility of romance occurring

Plot Inspiration

Feudal Japan

She was a maid serving a noble household. When her mistress dies of poison, all eyes fall to the woman who pours her tea. She flees for her life. Now, years later, she’s barely scraping by as a waitress in a small restaurant.

Once a samurai, he is now disillusioned and wandering Japan, a ronin for hire. All that matters is the money, as he believes honor to be a sham. But when samurai appear at the restaurant where he’s eating and attempt to attack one of the women there, he acts on instinct. Now he begrudgingly takes responsibility for her, and they set out to find the real culprit from years ago--or, at the least, keep her away from those who pursue her.

*I’m open to playing either role. For whichever role my partner would like to play, backstory can easily be changed. This is just a starting point to get ideas going.

Deserted Island

Years ago, their ship sank. Lost at sea, they floated for days, praying to be rescued. When they washed up on an island, their hopes rose. Unfortunately, the island was deserted. They've been living there ever since, alone.

And then one day, they were was someone else. A stranger appeared on the shore, unconscious. Alone. Suddenly, the dynamic changes.

At the moment I don’t have many plots in mind, as I’ve been out of the game for a while. I’ll update this with more concrete ideas as they come. For now, if you like any of the themes listed above, let me know, and we can come up with something interesting together!

My writing is in a slump. Maybe roleplay will help?

Thank you, everyone :) Is it bad to say I'm glad we're all on the same sinking ship? I kid, I kid. Still, it does feel good to hear others say they've experienced this same thing. The writing business can be lonely, and it's difficult to get unbiased, helpful feedback. I think that's what makes it hard to know whether you're doing well or not.

My writing is in a slump. Maybe roleplay will help?

Hello, one and all.

Probably like a lot of people here, I'm an aspiring writer. No, no, that's not quite right. I am a writer. I aspire to be published, so I suppose I'm an aspiring author. Yes, that seems right.

But I'm in a slump. I keep writing and writing, and then I look back at what I've written and think one of these things, depending on my mood that day:
a) This is garbage. If I query an agent and get lucky and they want to see ten pages, they're going to make it to the bottom of page one and think, "well, but the pacing sucks." Start over from the beginning.
b) This is garbage, but I've wasted enough time. Just write the damn thing and move on.
c) This is garbage. I ought to give up.
d) Wow. This isn't half bad. I'm going to pomp around the apartment for a while filled with my own sense of self-worth. Damn it feels good to be a gangster. This writing thing is easy-peasy.

D rarely happens, I'll just be honest. But when it does... Those are the days. That feeling of inward validation is what keeps me going.

Right now, I'm certainly in a "c" phase. I haven't written in a week. I've got this mess of a manuscript I don't know how to fix. And one of my other writer friends, she's lovely, but she tells me she writes every single day, inspired or not. And I thought, maybe I ought to be doing that. But maybe my book, maybe that's just too much pressure right now. Maybe I need another outlet where I can vent my creativity and build up the ol' metaphorical callouses on my fingers.

But maybe that won't make me a better writer, I think.

Then again, maybe it will.

So here I am, kind roleplayers of the world. I'm here to join you, at least for a while. Please, take me under your wing. I was a roleplayer once, and I'm a wordsmith forever. So let's go on an adventure.
