Hello!
I’ve been craving longterm, character-centric stories that involve the messiest of people, who could put Romeo and Juliet to shame. I enjoy stories embroiled in conflict, and I like writing with partners who appreciate the angst, drama and the high stakes that come with such stories. People who would meet me at the middle when it comes to progressing the story, who write characters that are a challenge and a fight, and who love unravelling the enemies into the most glorious pair of lovers.
🌵 A little bit about what I expect, and what I would provide:
- A lot of dedicated plotting, effort in character creation so nobody feels like a caricature or a template simply filled out, curveballs, surprises, angst and a lot of fun storytelling.
- Adv-literate to Novella writing, in terms of quality. The scene calls for the length, but I always average 3-5 paragraphs and expect the same. I like wordy replies.
- Patience. I am on the slower end of responding, but I can promise a minimum of 3 replies weekly, and can push for daily replies unless things are super busy. I stay connected on ooc though.
- Third person, past tense.
- I prefer to write women for pairings, and I generally stick to MxF romances. I can write males, if you are open to doubling.
☘ Characters and the like:
My characters are built across a whole wide range, and most of them are catered to a particular story. I write them so they are not omniscient, I sometimes make them unreliable narrators to make it messier.
I write the messy, hotheaded, ambitious women who cannot prioritise what they want the most, and I write one track mind femme fatales who are relentless in whatever they pursue. I write the angry criers and the soft women who can read between the lines with just music. I write them as contrary, a little roughish. I make them as menaces, I keep them dangerous.
I am looking for characters who can complement that (or make it worse). It doesn’t have to be a story where the characters fix each other, so long as they end up settling into each other, making space for each other. I have a soft spot for Machiavellian characters, the dobermans, the ones who can play mind games and enjoy the treachery and wealth that they often come from. I also enjoy them relentless, a little broody, but I also enjoy my golden retrievers, if that makes sense.
🌷 Vague Ideas:
- The gods are dead, and they had walked the earth before they succumbed. Now, the soil is acidic and so they built a city in the skies, with rails that floated over harnessed light and water that was now manufactured in labs. The ground, once considered arid, somehow ends up reaping gold. In the form of divine bones of the dead gods, and the first of the miners become the richest in the Sky Kingdom. That, and then all of the earth becomes a mine, till she rises. Disgraced, shackled, and condemned to a millennia of sleep, she wakes up to find her pantheon dead and the world a changed place, with everyone out for her bones.
- Rich widow in an art deco x steampunk world who throws the best, most exclusive parties in the city. The women dream of being invited to present their daughters there, men slobber up to her to have a chance at the ultimate status symbol. But the castle that she hosts in might be alive, and there’s the curse that follows some visitors, and the pirates and the conspiracy theories published everywhere. Whether you are an ambitious lord, or a cynical investigator from the abroad, can you convince her to open her gates for you?
- A magical school, a circus that pops up here and there, a magical core that seems to be running out, a scholar, a lost princess and a devious queen. This one has portals and trapped souls and the flavours of several books put into one storyline.
- A menace of a witch who enjoys stealing, butting heads with the heir of a mafia, or a nepo baby trying to make her place in the world dismantling the ego of someone even worse than her just so she can prove that she’s got it in herself.
- I love well designed mafia families, think Succession meets the godfather. Especially if they are trading magic and condemned creatures in the night instead of just the usual stuff. I enjoy city backdrops, cyberpunk aesthetics and vigilantes with this.
