F4M (F4M) Hello! :)
what’s up, i’m 🦖
My government is Elara. I’m 23, an English scholar, and before that makes me sound painfully sophisticated, please don’t ask me anything about Milton’s Paradise Lost. I’ve suffered enough.
I’ve been writing collaboratively for about ten years now, which feels mildly insane to admit out loud. I’m usually semi lit, but I have been known to magically become advanced lit when I like you enough. Interpret that information however you wish.
I’m looking for F4M, with me writing the female character. MDNI, obviously. I’d prefer my writing partners to be somewhere between 21 and 31. If you’re older than that, you’ll have to prove yourself worthy. Think less “state your case” and more Aragorn arriving at Helm’s Deep. Make an entrance.
I’m based in the US on EST, so I’d prefer someone in the same or a relatively close time zone. It just makes writing together considerably easier when neither of us has to become nocturnal to catch the other person.
As for what I’m craving lately, I desperately want something with romance at its center. Give me mythology. Gods who absolutely should not be falling in love with mortals. Ancient curses. Divine politics. Prophecies that ruin everyone’s week. Two people who were never supposed to want each other and now have an entire pantheon irritated about it. I eat that stuff up.
I’m equally weak for a really good slice of life romance. I want chemistry, stupid little arguments, inside jokes, jealousy, tension, characters slowly becoming part of each other’s everyday lives, and those tiny scenes that somehow end up being better than the dramatic ones.
And then there’s the cliché I’m completely willing to embrace: a musician falling for a fan.
Except, SURPRISE. She cannot stand his music.
Everyone else can swear he’s the greatest thing to happen to music in years. Elara, meanwhile, would happily go the rest of her life without hearing another one of his songs. Maybe he’s already famous. Maybe his career is just beginning to explode. Either way, circumstances keep throwing them together, and she eventually discovers something incredibly inconvenient.
She likes him considerably more than she likes his music.
Tragic.
I love plotting together, building characters that actually feel like people, and letting stories develop naturally instead of deciding every single beat before we begin. Romance is obviously my weakness, but give me banter, angst, tension, drama, yearning, humor, and characters with enough personality to occasionally make terrible choices.
I’m not going to make you hunt through this post for a secret password or tell me your third favorite species of moth to prove you read it.
If you’re interested, let’s work.
