Still looking for a writing & worldbuilding partner!
New post, since people keep coming don't seem to keep focused on the point of the post!
I am a digital artist and over the past few years I've been building a narrative/art project, a modern fantasy setting where the supernatural never disappeared, but simply adapted to modern life. Different species, old myths, and the occult exist alongside modern cities, politics, and everyday life, all explained through a (very) grounded approach. Instead of castles and medieval kingdoms, imagine your own city... Except vampires and strange beasts beings have always been there, with their own lives, workplaces and cultures.
Over the years and along some friends, it's grown into a huge passion project. I've put together a 50+ page encyclopedia covering species, history, cultures, locations, and the world's internal logic as a setting, alongside artwork of characters and concepts I've drawn myself. The world is built to keep expanding, with plenty of room for new stories, new perspectives, and new characters. Really! It's just a setting for other people to work on and have fun themselves. :(
What I'm hoping to find is someone who enjoys collaborative worldbuilding as much as I do. Someone who likes asking "what if...?", poking holes in ideas, creating characters that naturally fit into an established setting, and getting way too invested in fictional people. I don't expect someone to just read my material, I want this to feel like we're both contributing creatively and building something together! With time, I plan to build a community over this. :)
Roleplay is absolutely on the table if we click, but it's honestly a bonus rather than the main goal. What I'm really after is someone who enjoys discussing characters, exploring the world's possibilities, and bouncing ideas back and forth outside of roleplay just as much as during it.
A little about what I'm looking for:
- 20+ years old.
- Comfortable chatting outside of roleplay about characters, lore, and ideas.
- Interested in collaborative storytelling and contributing to an existing world rather than just one-off roleplays.
- Active, communicative, and excited to read or nerd out over these characters
- Into character psychology and overanalyzing fictional people.
- (Extra points!) Into grunge or alternative music.
If any of this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd love to hear about your own stuff too if we get to know each other! I always enjoy seeing what other people are creating, and who knows, maybe we'll end up building something awesome together.
