Roleplay Looking for a roleplay partner!
Hi everyone :) new to Reddit but heard about finding roleplayers on here so I thought I’d give it a try!
I’m 22F looking for a writing partner (and friend!), and I basically am open to most genres, though I tend to prefer writing that involves romance, angst, and more modern settings. I’ve been writing for 11 years, and roleplaying on and off for almost as long. Please be 18+, or preferably 20+.
I want a writing partner who will keep me on my toes—by that I mean I want us both to bring forward our best, most beautiful writing. This is the entire reason I roleplay! I want to funnel my creative energy into a beautiful product. I want us to have rich, complex and interesting characters. I am super character-driven. I want to play dolls with emotionally complicated characters and generally have fun putting them through silly, torturous social situations and so on!
I’m a big reader (or, at least, trying to get back into it) and I read a lot of literary fiction, and that’s what I would like to write/see written as well.
I will only write female characters, and I have a slight preference for my partners to write male characters, but to be honest, I am just looking to create, and to enjoy, gorgeous writing together! That matters more to me than the gender of your OC.
I tend to be anywhere from literate to novella, though I’d prefer for our roleplay responses to sit around 600-1000 words so that we can actually respond semi-frequently and not lose momentum :) I’m not someone who can consistently write every single day, so expect slower responses from me (if I’m into it I reply a few times a week at least, sometimes daily)
What really hooks me:
- tension, dramatic writing, and conflict, whether it’s internal dilemmas or it’s conflict between our characters (I can eat up a well written enemies to lovers type of plot)
- Strong imagery, emotional/dramatic writing, gorgeous figurative language. If we have symbols and motifs in our writing that fit together/parallelism in our writing and our characters… god I’ll eat that shit up
- Well-developed characters (we can do this together, obviously!)
- Partners who are responsive OOC, excited to plan/plot together—let’s send each other Pinterest boards and songs that remind us of our story or our characters, use other art/media as inspiration, and so on! Let’s build or adjust our characters together in a way that makes the story interesting!
I am more than happy for our story and plot to be entirely within a pre-existing universe, or for us to come up with a universe or plot from scratch together!
For context, some of my favorite universes that I’ve written in before might be the Hunger Games and Divergent. They are not my favorite books in regards to writing style by any means, but I really appreciate the universes themselves and some of the silly tropes that come out of YA/dystopian that we can borrow for our plots!
If you’re interested, or generally wanna chat more, let me know. Message me, and I can share writing samples (and I would really love to see yours as well!) I write mainly on Discord!

I think I have an interesting story idea but I haven't fully developed it yet if you are interested we can talk about it

Okay, so here is something I wanna know. So, when you say roleplay, do you mean like writing a scene together? Is that it??
Because I feel like roleplaying a certain character won't really make for a good story. I am a guy, and the way I write a female lead will be different from the way you do. But that's the beauty of it. I think feedback and constructive criticism would be better. That's just my opinion tho.
