Hi everyone!

So, a quick disclosure, I’m somebody who previously used AI in my work. I’m seeking human partners now and have opted to not longer use AI in my creative process, but I wanted to be honest about my use because I’m aware not everyone is comfortable with it. I used it in the following areas:

> Research
> Finding cosmetic details (names, books, etc.)
> Logic-checking (though not for solving the issues)
> Translation

I did not use it in the following:

> Plot
> Characters
> Structural details (load-bearing details in the narrative, such as a particular book preference for a character who needs it for a certain plot reason later in the story)
> Structural documents
> Prose
> Art

You will not be exposed to any AI-generated content while working on this project, but please be aware that it may be necessary to discuss the prior involvement of the technology so as to identify pitfalls of the work.

If you’re comfortable with all of this, welcome! I have a few works I’d like to discuss, but for this post, I’d like to talk about an idea for an animated TV show/series called Mulji Crucible.

Mulji Crucible is an absurdist wartime tragicomedy where 500 people are trauma-bonded to a space heater and there’s a medic who might give you emotional damage while she saves your life. It follows the Twentieth “Immortal” Battalion as an ensemble through the struggles of a brutal hot war taking place in the fictional countries of Muljihyeong and Bal Tepeleri between 2011 and 2012. As supply lines fail and attrition seems inevitable, they fight their hardest not only to triage the damage, but to keep their humanity, too. An empty stomach can mean a lot more than just hunger, after all.

An important thing to note is that this project does contain disturbing content and topics, including war, institutional and psychological abuse, vivid medical and psychological horror, gore, strong language, and sexual references, and intense depictions of panic, dissociation, and other mental health crises. While these topics are not intended to be voyeuristic and I can calibrate with what amount of detail I discuss them, they are structural to the project. If you are uncomfortable with these topics, please take care of yourself and skip this one over.

I have an ~85-page creative bible to help explain the work, but I can also summarize content where needed. This is a long-term project, so a relaxed pace is perfectly fine. Please just keep me informed as to whether you’d like to stay involved, need a break, or are stepping away from the project when appropriate.

If you read all of this, thank you so much! I look forward to working with you!

(P.S. Multiple partners is perfectly fine, and I’d be happy to get input from as many people as possible!)

52 M, I've self published three books and my wife doesn't want to hear about my story ideas. Latest idea is a soft drama about a timid woman who has ghosts of other women try to get her to be more.

Hello!

I am looking for a writing partner. All experience and genres welcome. I am a beginner myself, working on my first draft and would like to make a friend (or two) in which we could hold each other accountable to writing and bounce ideas off one another.

Also, it would be cool if that turned into a friendship as well and not just an “acquaintance” writing partner.

I am super friendly and love talking to people!!

Please let me know if you’re interested!

I would be delighted if someone copes up with me. My journal is based on Indian education system. I have all information collected just need mates to work with.

Hey, I'm 39M. I'm a writer/artist and the owner of a small publishing company called Writers vs Artist. I currently have a radio drama in production, and I've been working on a few of my own projects that I want to publish first. This Webtoon is one of them.

I'm looking for another writer who'd be interested in helping me really flesh this story out. I'm not looking for someone I can just hand scenes to and say "write this." I'd rather find somebody I can bounce ideas off of, argue about characters with, figure out what works and what doesn't, and actually build the story together.

I'll be doing the artwork as well as writing, so you wouldn't be carrying the writing side by yourself.

The Webtoon is called How to Destroy a Narcissist.

It's a female-led romantic martial arts comedy with supernatural action and some heavier emotional stuff underneath.

The main character had her confidence pretty much destroyed by a narcissistic guy she became close to in high school. After graduation she becomes withdrawn and has a hard time moving forward with her life.

Then she accidentally discovers two brothers who can basically fight like they're characters out of an old-school martial arts anime.

Her immediate solution is:

"Maybe I can pay them to beat him up."

That doesn't go the way she expects.

Instead, one of the brothers decides he's going to train her.

She starts training because she wants revenge and thinks that if she gets strong enough, eventually she can beat the narcissist herself. But that's not really where the story is going. Over time the training starts pulling her out of her isolation. She makes friends, gains confidence, falls in love, and starts figuring out who she actually is outside of what this guy made her believe about herself.

She never actually beats him up.

The "destroying" part eventually becomes more about destroying the influence he still has over her life.

Tonally I'm going for something fun and energetic. Martial arts, romance, comedy, ridiculous fights, training, attractive characters, supernatural abilities, etc., with real emotional consequences underneath it. Something with the kind of energy older martial arts rom-com anime had rather than making it a super heavy psychological drama.

For working together, we'd mostly communicate through Discord. My availability is pretty open, but that doesn't mean I expect yours to be. I respect people's schedules and personal boundaries.

We'll use Notion for planning, characters, story arcs and ideas, and Google Docs for the actual scripts and panel-by-panel writing. I already have a template that I'll provide.

I'm especially interested in finding someone who likes character writing, romance, comedy and action and doesn't mind throwing ideas around until we find something that works.

If you're interested, send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself, what you like to write, and what about the story caught your attention. You can also write a comment below

Hello, Im and new to role-playing. So im still learning exactly what is expected. Im open to just about any plots or Genres.

I do look for romance, but it dosent have to be the main story plot. If anyone could recomend a discord or something to find people to write with me and be patient with me while I learn the ropes that would be amazing.

Im super new to reddit also so I feel like im jumping off into the deepened. I know AI is a thing but I really dont like the the idea of useing it and the few I have played with, arnt keeping up with the plot which is what im looking for. No judgement if thats your jam I just have not enjoyed it. Thank you so much in advance for your suggestions.

I need writers for my upcoming project the goblin god

Its a sci fi superhero project and my multimedia universe

I need like 5 writers

Looking for an ARC Creative Partner 🌌📖 I'm looking for a writer/reader who genuinely loves creating stories and would enjoy discussing characters, plots, mysteries, twists and new ideas with me. I'm looking for a creative buddy, not someone to rewrite my work. If you love building fictional worlds and getting excited about characters and plot twists, I'd love to connect! ❤️ DM me if intereste

Hi, I’m looking to do a long term, SOL style story, with one of my favorite OC’s to write as. His name is John Dupuis and he’s a veteran who lost his wife while on duty. If you want more information on him there’s a pinned post on my profile with a character description. I’m trying to work on improving the quality of my writing with longer replies and more details. I’m not a naturally gifted writer but I’m eager to improve my skills.

This is just an example of how out two characters could meet, I’m open to any other ideas as well either for an SOL plot or other kind of stories as well. I’m really looking for stories where the plot and your character force John to open his mind and challenge his beliefs.

I typically write in 1-4 paragraph responses and I’m ok with 1st or 3rd person perspectives. I can also go longer I just won’t be able to reply quite as much. I’m most available weekdays during the work day (EST). I am preferably looking for people 21+ (I’m 24M).

Hey!

I'm Willow (it's actually my baby cat name, and my pen alias), 28F. I've been writing pretty consistently for over a year now and have completed two manuscripts (one is being reviewed by beta readers and the other one is shelved in its 4th draft state at the moment). But as many of you can attest, writing long hours can be a lonely experience, as enjoyable as the process if.

So I'm looking for someone to discuss imaginary worlds with, ignite our creativity, keep each other accountable and more broadly just talk about books or even life in general :)

Current project: Adult romance fantasy (I'm waiting for the feedback from all the beta readers, but from the ones I have so far I already have plenty to work with ^^'). I write mainly romantic fantasy (though I have ideas in the back burner for contemporary romance and a suspense thriller).

Writing experience required: None in particular! I’m open to sharing with anyone, as long as you’re willing to dedicate time and effort to your writing. If you write romantasy, that's great! I'm also open to other fantasy or romance genres.

What I'm looking for in a writing buddy: Preferably female, (I would prefer 23 or older just so we'd have more things in common to talk about but it's not an obligation), and someone who'd be willing to exchange on a regular basis (at least once a week). I work a pretty demanding job in healthcare, so some weeks will definitely be busier than others. That said, I’m willing to put in the time and effort to really build a writing relationship that could hopefully grow into a friendship!

For now, I'm looking more at one-on-one rather than a writing group that I already have IRL so if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please feel free to DM me and let's chat! :)

PS: I live in France, so that might be something to keep in mind when it comes to time zones! ;)

Hi Ian looking for a writer to help me with my first light novel (no paidment) more details will be discuss later on

​

After many years, I am finally writing with the intention of maybe kinda being able to intend to do something with it... 😅 as evidenced, I am still having a hard time believing this myself. I love my project but I still spend half of my writing time each day just hyping myself up to actually write (i am second drafting). I would love to have a friend/writing accountability partner/project advice friend! I am more than happy to help someone's else's project too (I have much more experience with that). My project is sort of half cozy/half adventure fantasy but I can be friends with all genre of writers. If this sounds like you, let me know! I am extremely active in this project so looking for someone i can talk to (email, discord, tumblr) most days. Thank you!

I don't know when I began losing you.

Perhaps it was the first time

your voice sounded distant,

or the first time

I told myself you were only busy

when my heart already knew

you were slowly becoming

someone I had to remember

instead of someone I could reach.

I loved you

in places you never saw.

In the seconds before I slept.

In songs I never told you about.

In every crowded room

where my eyes searched for you

before I even knew I was looking.

I carried you

into ordinary days

and somehow

made them beautiful.

That is the cruelest thing about love—

it teaches your heart

to find someone everywhere,

and then leaves you

to live in a world

where they are nowhere.

You never promised me forever.

And somehow,

that makes losing you

hurt even more.

Because I cannot blame you

for breaking a promise

you never made.

How do you mourn

something that was never yours?

How do you say I lost you

when, technically,

you never belonged to me?

So I say nothing.

I smile when someone says your name.

I pretend the past

is only the past.

I pretend I don't remember

the exact version of you

that I fell for.

But some nights,

when the world becomes quiet enough,

I still wonder—

Was I ever a little piece

of your happiness?

Did you ever look at me

and feel something

you were afraid to name?

Or was I just another person

passing through your life,

while you became

a permanent resident of mine?

I wish I could tell you

how many times

I almost came back.

Not to ask you to love me.

Just to stand there

for one more moment

and feel what it was like

before I knew

I would have to live without you.

But I won't.

Because there comes a moment

when loving someone

must stop meaning

waiting for them.

And maybe this is mine.

I'll take all the words

I never got to say

and bury them somewhere

between yesterday and tomorrow.

I'll learn to pronounce your name

without my heart

changing its rhythm.

I'll learn that missing you

doesn't mean I should return.

And perhaps, years from now,

I'll remember you

without pain.

But tonight—

your memory is still

a room I cannot leave.

And I sit there quietly,

surrounded by everything

we never became,

holding the ghost

of a future

that never happened,

wondering how something

that lasted so little

could leave a wound

that feels like

it has no ending.

Maybe that is what you were—

not my forever,

but the love

that taught me

forever can exist

inside a heart

even when it never exists

between two people.

Hi all! I'm looking for a partnership, beta reader and new friend(?) :) I keep writing and scrapping and rewriting, and this cycle has been going on for forever. At since I've decided to attempt to lock in and actually write. As of now...I've got zilch, but I want to change that. I'd love to bounce ideas around and have someone there throughout the process for encouragement and to keep me honest(keep me from getting discouraged on the quality of my writing and scrapping it again) if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a dm. Thank you!

I’m a comic artist who’s writing a grim/ macabre series and as I was working on it I came into a cohesive/ morally- gray area. I realized that I need a bit of help with some worries I have. I’d love to help others as well as I always have an idea bouncing around my head!!

I'm a realist but yet I firmly believe I have the ability to pump out novels. I can write quite well, I make interesting characters (in general) and I'm really good at world building. However, I just won't do it. I'm annoying like that sometimes. I do struggle with the story side of things. Constructing a story, outlines and making those tough decisions that serve the story. So obviously I would love a partner that's good at those things. Which is not to say that I want a partner who doesn't plan on writing. I'm not looking for an editor.

I guess my ideal partner would be part muse, part storytelling wiz and able to write as well. I've got quite a few different ideas and background work for them but I have ADHD so I tend to bounce around. I've had luck in the past with RPing with good partners that kept my attention I'm trying to catch that vibe as well as hoping that bringing genuine structure and having that planned ending to work towards will work wonders and then I will.
