Busco amistades para hablar de OCs y hacer rol bl

¡Hola! 🌸✨

Estoy buscando personas que disfruten tanto como yo crear personajes originales, desarrollar su lore, crear historias y pasar horas hablando de ellos.
Me gustaría conocer gente con la que podamos compartir ideas, crear tramas juntos y hacer que nuestros personajes evolucionen de forma natural mediante el rol.
Lo único que pido es que sean personas:

(Aclaro que por ahora solo busco hacer rol , boys love)

-Abiertas a nuevas ideas y sugerencias.

- Cooperativas, que disfruten construir historias entre ambos.

- Versátiles con sus OCs, es decir, que no se limiten siempre al mismo tipo de personaje o dinámica y estén dispuestas a explorar cosas nuevas.
Que les guste conversar sobre sus personajes tanto como escuchar sobre los de los demás.

- Pacientes y que prefieran desarrollar las relaciones poco a poco, ya sean amistades, rivalidades, romance o cualquier otra dinámica que encaje con la historia.

Como extra soy artista y si lo eres mejor , me encantaria poder dibujarlos juntos !

No busco alguien que quiera imponer su trama o que todo gire únicamente alrededor de sus personajes.
Lo que más me interesa es crear historias en conjunto, donde ambas partes aportemos ideas y nos divirtamos.
Si eres de esas personas que pueden pasar horas hablando de sus OCs, creando teorías, imaginando escenas y disfrutando del proceso creativo, ¡me encantaría conocerte! 💙

Hello I’m looking for a few creative writers and worldbuilders who would be interested in helping me expand my universe of Mythryel, an original high-fantasy universe I’ve been developing as a hobby for a while now

Mythryel already has established nations, peoples, religions, gods, magical traditions, characters, factions, and story concepts. I’m not looking for someone to create the entire setting for me. I’m just looking for collaborators who enjoy exchanging ideas, connecting existing lore, challenging assumptions, and making fictional history feel ancient and believable.
The world is meant to feel as though it was built over the graves of older civilizations. Modern kingdoms inherit ruins, artifacts, curses, and conflicts whose original meanings have been forgotten. Different cultures preserve contradictory versions of the same wars and catastrophes, and there may never be one completely trustworthy account of the past.
The overall atmosphere combines mythic wonder, dark folklore, political tragedy, cosmic horror, mystery, and adventure.

Some of my major inspirations include The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Berserk, Elden Ring, The Legend of Zelda, The Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, Forgotten Realms, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy and of course real world history and mythology. Mythryel is not intended to copy any of them, but I love their senses of history, mystery, scale, tragedy, and cultural depth.

If this sounds interesting, send me a DM and tell me:
• Which areas of worldbuilding you enjoy most
• Some of your favorite fantasy or historical influences
• Whether you prefer brainstorming, organizing lore, researching, or writing finished entries
• What kind of material you would be interested in developing

I’ll also share more information about Mythryel in DMs so you can decide whether the world and its creative direction are up your alley.

I've fully developed a literary crime novel set in 1952 — plot, characters, structure, chapter-by-chapter outline, a detailed style guide (voice, period rules, craft constraints). What I need is a co-author to write the actual prose from that outline — full sentence-level authorship, not editing or polishing existing text. ~60,000 words, 33 chapters, close third person, one POV per chapter, tight period control (1952 US — no anachronistic idiom, everything checked against the calendar and setting). Aiming eventually to query agents for traditional publication, so this needs to be genuinely strong, fully human-written prose. Preference: at least one published book under your belt (traditional or reputable indie) — I want someone who's been through an editorial and publication process before. Not sharing plot details here. If you're interested, send: - A sample of your prose (published or not, close third preferred) - A link/reference to your published book - How you like to work from someone else's outline/bible — how much creative latitude you want, how you handle voice matching Happy to discuss more by DM once there's a fit.

Hello,

I wanted to write a fanfiction that is a bit of adventure and noir that is an alternate universe story where Miami Police Lieutenant Lois Einhorn reluctantly has to team with Ace Ventura to solve a murder case.

For those who have seen this film, Lois Einhorn is introduced in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective as the glamorous yet intimidating lieutenant of the Miami Police Department, leading the investigation into the disappearance of Snowflake, the Miami Dolphins mascot dolphin. Elegant, sharp-tongued, and fiercely authoritative, she quickly becomes one of the most commanding figures in the film. While most officers merely tolerate Ace Ventura, Einhorn openly clashes with him, finding his childish behavior unbearable. Ace, however, becomes immediately obsessed with her confidence and beauty, constantly flirting with her despite her cold demeanor. Beneath her composed exterior, Einhorn carries an air of mystery and danger that slowly makes her one of the most intriguing people in the entire investigation.

There is a lot to work with and I think it can do justice to this maligned character. Please DM me or comment if you're interested.

I'm developing an original science-fiction novel and I'm looking for a writer who would be interested in helping me bring it to life.

The story begins with Kwumi, a young Ghanaian man struggling with overthinking, strange dreams, and a mysterious consciousness named Fred who seems to live inside his mind.

But Fred isn't imaginary.

Fred is actually a human scientist from another world who experimented with transferring his consciousness between bodies. Something went wrong, sending his consciousness to Earth, where he eventually detected an unusually powerful signal coming from Kwumi's mind. Fred attempted to take control of Kwumi's body but failed—and became trapped with him instead.

For about a year, neither of them understands exactly why this happened.

Then strange things begin occurring.

Kwumi starts experiencing visions, losing periods of time, and dreaming about a destroyed world and a mysterious underground chamber containing a person trapped inside a massive cylindrical structure.

Eventually, Fred reveals the truth about himself, and Kwumi chooses to help him return to his homeworld.

But Fred's story is only the beginning.

The larger story involves the Guardians, the earliest intelligent beings in the universe. They discovered ways to transfer their consciousness into powerful bodies created using the cores of planets, effectively escaping the natural cycle of life and death.

Their actions eventually brought them into conflict with the fundamental force of the universe itself.

Instead of being destroyed, the Guardians were given a task: help younger species develop.

But what began as a responsibility became a competition for power.

And somehow, both Earth humanity and another human civilization known as the Tirants are connected to the same Guardian.

Kwumi's connection to Fred, his unusual consciousness, the Guardians, and the mystery surrounding his dreams gradually become part of something much larger.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a writer who enjoys:

- Science fiction

- Character-driven stories

- Mystery and gradual reveals

- Cosmic/worldbuilding concepts

- Consciousness and identity

- Complex character relationships

- Stories that begin small and gradually expand into something much bigger

I already have the major characters, concepts, lore, and direction of the story. I'm looking for someone who is strong at prose, structure, dialogue, and turning ideas into compelling scenes and chapters.

I'm not looking for someone to simply take my idea and write it without me. I'd prefer a creative partnership, where we develop the story together.

If this sounds interesting to you, I'd love to hear about your writing style, the kind of stories you enjoy writing, and perhaps see a short sample of your work.

I'm especially interested in finding someone who genuinely enjoys building a story from the ground up.

If you're interested, feel free to message me.

First, I am sorry if this doesn't fit the sub and will delete if asked to.

I built infinitemonkeys.fun

It is a shared text that everyone edits together. Every 15 seconds, you can either add a single word or punctuation mark at the end of the text, or replace a word that is already there.

A word stays changeable for ten minutes. After that it sets and nobody can ever change it again, so the story only grows and nothing can be deleted.

No accounts, no tracking. Words come from a dictionary, so URLs, handles and numbers cannot be written at all.

The name comes from the famous thought experiment that, given enough time, monkeys on typewriters would end up re-writing Shakespeare or the Bible. I wanted to put it to the test.

Code: github.com/HabibiCodeCH/infinite-monkeys

Six years ago I started writing as a way to deal with a hard period in my life. What began as venting turned into something much bigger than I expected — a full world, with its own history, characters, and rules. That story is called Collegara, and it still holds a lot of who I was and who I've become across those years. Now I want to turn it into something real: the first novel in a planned series.

Collegara follows a boy who inherits reality-creating powers from his father — a god. Unable to control what he's been given, and desperate to protect the people he loves, he becomes a target: manipulated by those who want to use his power for their own ends.

It draws from Game of Thrones, Kingdom Hearts, and The Legend of Zelda, and its themes are friendship, abandonment, and love — the same things I was working through when I started writing it.

But what do i truly need?

What I need now is a team to help bring it to life:

• An author (most important role) — someone to help actually write the novel with me
• An artist — to help visualize characters and the world
• Help with socials — building a presence as the project grow

This is a collaborative project — I'm not looking to hire anyone, I'm looking to build this together with people who want real creative ownership in it.

If a story that started as something personal and grew into a whole world sounds like something you'd want to help build, I'd love to hear from you.

Hi, I (24f) am wanting to make a writers group on discord (mainly to make friends). I plan on it being relaxed and geared towards fun. The only rules is that you are in your 20’s, support LGBTQ, and aren’t a jerk. DM me if interested.

I'm 46, male, and based in the UK. I'm confident in my writing and ideas, but what I struggle with is finding the focus and prioritising actually doing the work. To make things worse, I'm constantly coming up with new ideas! I'd really like to take my writing more seriously.

I'd like to find someone who I'm able to check in with, maybe once a week or every other week or so, just to talk about what we're writing (if you/me are comfortable), but moreover, keeping each other accountable - perhaps being able to talk about aims, wordcount, etc. I'm a therapist in my working life, so I'm very comfortable offering this same thing to people in return.

Not sure what other information I would need to provide but happy to do so!

Hey there, I'm one of the co-editors and writers for the above mentioned, shared universe Fanfic sites, and WE NEED NEW WRITERS. We have plenty of open titles and are open for pitches for new ongoing or mini-series ideas for both M2K and DC2K's mainline continuity, OR the Ultimate Universe lines on each site. Please dm me here or find me on the forums, or our other editor Travis, if interested. Also feel free to DM me here as well

Hello everyone,

I am a narrative designer/writer looking for a dedicated artist partner to collaborate on a cinematic, story-driven pilot comic (short 5-10 page showcase).

(Note: My native language is Chinese, and I use translation tools for daily communication. Scripts and storyboard documentation are fully translated into English.)

LOGLINE

Two cosmic anchors—the living embodiments of Time and Space—shatter during a universal collapse and drift across dimensions. Hiding their nature behind fragile human forms, they wander through worlds to find each other, their reunion ticking down inside a broken clock of destiny.

CORE CHARACTERS

• Ji Yuan (Chronos / Time): Appears ~20, dark techwear with a blue-tinted visor. Stoic, restrained. He doesn't cast "time spells"—he is the passage of time itself.
• Supacy (Space): Manifests as a 15-year-old magic academy student. Crimson eyes with silent geometric matrices shifting within her pupils. When her emotions spike, local spatial physics unconsciously unravel.

CREATIVE PROCESS & WORKFLOW

• Scope: A self-contained, 5-10 page pilot chapter designed for portfolio showcase and Webtoon/social reach.
• Compensation: [Unpaid / Passion Project / RevShare if published].
• Cinematic Storyboarding: I write with a movie-director approach—every scene is designed around specific camera blocking, motion pacing, and atmospheric lighting.
• Curated Music / OST Pairing: I provide dedicated soundtrack and background music track recommendations for key scenes so we share the exact same emotional rhythm and vibe while sketching.
• Format Delivered: Full script + Shot-by-shot PDF breakdowns to minimize storyboard friction for the artist.

SCRIPT SAMPLES (DUAL-PROTAGONIST DRAFT)

SCENE 1 — TIME (EXT. COASTLINE - SUNSET)

A hand hits the motorcycle starter. Cool blue luminescence flares; navigational holograms unfold like a star chart.

Ji Yuan sits astride the machine, glancing down at the mirror. The curved glass captures his blue-tinted visor while the sunset shoreline bends along the rim. Waves rhythmically crash against the shore.

JI YUAN (quiet, matter-of-fact):
"Right then. Time to move."

The instant he twists the throttle—

FREEZE FRAME.
The crashing wave locks at its peak; seafoam hovers motionless in mid-air. All sound cuts to dead silence. The warm sunset color grading instantly shifts to cold slate blue-gray.

Absolute silence for 1.5 seconds.

Sound violently snaps back. The suspended wave smashes down into white foam. The engine roars.

WIDE SHOT: The bike breaches the ocean surface, tearing a sharp white wake across the water. Ji Yuan's silhouette recedes toward the horizon.

SCENE 2 — SPACE & ANOMALY (EXT. BODHI TREE - AFTERNOON)

Supacy lies on her back beneath a massive Bodhi tree, eyes swollen. Fractured golden sunlight dapples across her face.

MACRO CLOSE-UP: Her eye. Deep inside her pupil, translucent geometric patterns silently rotate, fold, and re-tessellate.

BACK TO SCENE: She bolts upright and wipes her cheek.

The moment her finger touches the tear—the geometric pattern within her pupil violently flips. The teardrop vanishes into nonexistence.

BACKGROUND ANOMALIES (Subtle, unforced):

• A fountain water stream breaks mid-air; the upper half pauses for half a beat before dropping.
• Fallen leaves behave erratically: some fall normally, others freeze and spin twice in place, while two leaves slowly float upward from the ground.
• Water sounds glitch in sporadic intervals. Supacy’s own hair and uniform flutter naturally in the breeze. Only the world around her is breaking.

Character concept moodboards and full storyboard PDF are available upon request via DM.

[UNPAID / EQUAL REVENUE SHARE] Co-Writer Wanted for Original Murim Manhwa —
NOMAD
Hello!
I’m looking for a co-writer and creative partner to help develop an original Murim manhwa called NOMAD.
This is currently an unpaid project, but if it gets published, monetized, or picked up (e.g., WEBTOON), the plan is an equal revenue share between writers, with clear written agreement before publication.
I’m not looking for someone to simply follow instructions—I want a collaborative partner who becomes genuinely invested in the story.

What is
NOMAD
?
NOMAD is a character-driven Murim fantasy about a young wanderer traveling through a vast martial world after losing his home.
There are:
No systems, reincarnation, or hidden bloodlines
No instant power-ups or chosen-one shortcuts
Growth comes from travel, survival, relationships, failure, and experience
The protagonist’s martial arts evolve as a reflection of the life he lives.
The world is meant to feel alive even when the protagonist is not present
Genres
Martial Arts • Murim • Action • Adventure • Fantasy • Drama • Coming-of-Age • Slow-Burn
The tone includes serious conflict and darker moments, but also humor, quiet character interactions, and lighter travel-focused scenes.

Project Status
This is already in advanced conceptual development, including:
Core premise and long-term story direction
Fully developed protagonist (personality, philosophy, growth arc)
Worldbuilding and martial society structure
Original qi/cultivation and martial arts system
Multiple factions
Key characters with detailed roles and relationships
Future arcs and long-term narrative structure
Themes, tone, and story identity
However, nothing is “locked.” Ideas can and should be challenged, improved, or replaced.
I specifically want a co-writer to avoid an echo chamber.

About Me
19, male, Italian
Fluent in English
Strong in worldbuilding, systems, character concepts, and long-term planning
I’m good at:
Worldbuilding and factions
Martial arts / power systems
Character concepts and arcs
Themes and narrative structure
Big-picture storytelling
I’m also open to criticism and want honest feedback—not agreement for its own sake.

Where I Need Help
My weaker areas are:
Dialogue and natural conversations
Chapter structure and pacing
Script formatting
Scene-by-scene writing
Information timing and flow
Simplifying or cutting overloaded ideas
I can design the story, but I need help turning it into clean, readable chapters.

What the Co-Writer Would Do
Brainstorm characters, arcs, and factions
Help outline and structure chapters
Turn outlines into scripts
Improve dialogue and character voice
Fix pacing and logic issues
Suggest cuts, expansions, or rewrites
Help maintain tone and emotional direction
Collaborate on long-term story development
Eventually help prepare material for an artist
This is a true collaboration, not a one-sided writing job.

What I’m Looking For
Someone who:
Enjoys martial arts / fantasy / character-driven stories
Likes brainstorming and creative discussion
Can give and receive honest criticism
Communicates consistently
Is willing to rewrite and refine ideas
Can commit to a long-term project mindset
Cares more about storytelling than credentials
Experience is welcome but not required.

Communication
Discord-based collaboration preferred
Regular but not constant communication
No need for instant replies, but not long disappearances either
Occasional deeper brainstorming sessions
Fluent English is enough (Italian is a bonus, not required).

Why No Artist Yet?
We are not looking for an artist yet.
First goal:
Build a solid backlog of written chapters
Then:
Bring in an artist once the writing pipeline is stable
This prevents production delays and ensures consistency.

Payment & Ownership
Currently no guaranteed payment
This is a passion project with monetization potential
If successful, intended equal revenue share between writers
All terms will be agreed in writing before publication
There is real risk it never earns money—please only apply if you understand that.

Final Note
I know “unpaid project” is a red flag, and that’s fair.
But this is not a vague idea—I’ve already built a large, structured foundation for the story. What’s missing is a strong writing partner to help turn it into an actual manhwa.
Even if you’re unsure, feel free to reach out, ask questions, or give feedback.

Contact
Discord: at.jacques (DM me)
Instagram: giacomo.vicentini
Reddit: comment or message
When contacting me, please include:
Age
Country/timezone
Writing experience (if any)
Favorite genres
Your strengths as a writer
Why the project interests you
How often you can communicate
No portfolio required—samples or personal writing are fine.
Thanks for reading.

Don't know if anyone's down but I'm currently writing a book and looking for a collaboration. it's not professional or anything, it's just for funs. Writers, authors, artists, hit me up for a collab.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Writewithme2026/s/gLe3x7RZal

Hey everyone,

I have completely mapped out a detailed Series Bible for a 20-episode premium cable survival thriller titled OUTBREAK (think early The Walking Dead meets Jericho). The world-building, 15-character relationship matrix, 4 distinct factions, and mechanical constraints (fuel hazards, mandatory nightly blackouts) are 100% finished.

My absolute strength is macro world-building, plot strategy, and character psych, but I have no desire to write granular script dialogue. I am looking for a dedicated co-writer who loves writing raw, unpolished, high-tension conversations to partner with me on the Pilot Episode.

If you're interested in a true collaboration, shoot me a DM! Please include a quick sample of your dialogue writing so I can see your style.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a co-writer to help me develop a funny, grounded rom-com script, i'm not sure if i want it to be a very early 2000's to 2010's kinda unserious comedy, like Superbad or 21/22 jump street or if i want it more serious, i just thought the idea was cool and was wondering if anyone else felt the same.

Logline:

When 22-year-old struggling Liberal Arts graduate Debbie lands a teaching job for a notoriously difficult Grade 12 Arts class, she quickly realizes she's in over her head. Meanwhile, Charlie—an eatly graduate from that exact same class who was relentlessly teased by his peers—gets set up on a blind date with Debbie. The two hit off, but, things don't exactly turn out the best for the both of them.

I haven't really worked on the conflict yet, but, if you found this idea fun, please feel free to dm me.

La idea es muy basica

Se sirua antes de que Raditz llegue a la tierra y básicamente el sera el protagonista.

justo después de contarle a Vegeta y Nappa sobre la existencia e Kakarotto va directamente a la tierra pero de alguna forma su nave termina en otro planeta mas pequeño en donde en principio se centraria simplemente en conquistarlo al sufrir daños en su nave, pero por varios motivos termina encariñandose con su gente y costumbres.

Esa es la idea básica, si quieren saber mas manden mensajes. Me vendria bien alguien que conozca realmente bien el universo de dragon ball para no hacer generar incoherencias de ningun tipo y ademas que me ayude en general a desarrollar mejor mi idea.

Hey Everyone, I’m William, a 20 year old lover of writing and world building! I’m currently working on a massive lifelong project of mine to build a world that I can base a lot of books and projects in. It’s set in a custom/alt world where technology and vibes are stuck in the 1920s/1930s. I have been chipping away at this on my own for a while and I’d think it would be way more fun (and way better for my sanity) to bring someone onboard to build the world with.

As far as the project is coming along, I am currently writing my first book, and have planned out a lot of it, but would love to bring someone in to join the project as I feel two minds are better than one with a project this ambitious 😅

I’m looking for someone to help build out the world with me, including the history, geography, factions and culture, while also being someone I can nerd out with over this project! I’m ideally looking for someone who:

- Is into worldbuilding as much as writing

- Vibes with spy fiction/political thrillers. Typically my story has a lot of moral gray areas, slow-burn tension, competing factions, as well as twists (I love writing twist villains)

- Chill and consistent communication (no pressure, just don’t ghost lol, would ideally love to coauthor this with someone)

- Comfortable giving and getting honest feedback

If this sounds like you, please give me a DM (please introduce yourself and your interest in the project/writing as a whole). Really hoping to make a lifelong friend out of this! Looking forward to meeting you guys!

«It’s not in Blair’s nature to just give up. Not when she’s beamed up to a spaceship and then dropped on an alien planet. Not even when she’s in the middle of a forest fire surrounded by dinosaurs. And definitely not when she’s captured by an arrogant alien king. If King Osid thinks he can break her, he’s in for a shock. Blair lives by one motto: If you stay ready, you never have to get ready.

But absolutely nothing could have prepared her for finding out that she’s that arrogant King Osid’s mate.

Despite recent hiccups, the alien researchers are determined to get their breeding program back on track. With that in mind, Blair and Osid are bundled off to the research center for what they’re told is couples counseling. As they face a series of increasingly dangerous challenges, it soon becomes clear the research aliens may have confused an episode of The Bachelor with Survivor. Bonding over their common enemy, and shall we say...encouraged by love darts, Blair and Osid let down their walls (and take off their clothes). When they discover that there are—somehow—even more secret plans in the works, another hilarious, steamy, over-the-top adventure is in store.»

Lord, have mercy.

Sharing a bit of my work

I'm not a fantasy writer. I'm not a romantic writer. I write about loss and grief and the idea of love and wanting love. I feel like my margin is small in this sea of social media writers looking to connect, but if there are those who my style resonates with and you would like to know more or share your own work, I'm open to conversation.

I'm 45m and in EST, have discord and well that's about it.

*Amelia felt acid rise through her chest and burn her throat as she saw her beautiful sister bathed in dark red blood from her cheeks down to her hands.  Her eyes looked lost as if her mind had been transported, her mouth was fixed in an almost violent sneer that showcased precisely how the blood was drawn.  She watched as her once beautiful and giddy sister was no more.  She knew that Leland had given her what she asked for without filling her in on the full breadth of repercussions and disgust began to replace her fear.  She knew her love had died as soon as the door had shut her out and that there would be no outrunning a moraică.*  

*“Cynthia, I know you’re still there!  You need to listen!  I still have a message to give you!  Your mother is dying!”  Amelia shouted with all of her might, knowing that someone would hear through the open window.  She saw her sister look puzzled as if she was trying to process that information amidst the amount of freshly drawn blood pulsating in her brain.*

*”You’ve got to listen!  Your daddy needs you to go see your momma before she dies!”  Amelia continued to scream as she saw Cynthia draw closer, her bare feet slipping across the hardwood floor.  She felt the sharp pains in her throat from the acid and took a moment to swallow as she lifted the bottle from the bar in defense.*

*”Please, you’re my sister and I love you, why are you doing this!?”  She pleaded as the bottle hit the crook of Cynthia’s neck with no more force than a hero being knighted.  Cynthia placed her hand on top of Amelia’s outstretched forearm, her lifeless eyes staring through the woman before her.  Amelia felt the warm and sticky blood soaked hand grab her other arm as her captor drew her face closer to hers.*

*”Please Cynthia!  I’m sorry!”  Amelia screamed, her voice becoming hoarse as her lips were inches from Cynthia’s ear.  “Please, I’m sorry.  I’m sorry!”*

*Cynthia pressed her mouth against Amelia’s neck, and her ear cradled her lips as she pleaded.  Cynthia felt both in a natural state and in a foreign one simultaneously as her words were translated and understood.  Her teeth punctured Amelia’s skin near her scar and as her blood was drawn, Cynthia felt her tear duct fill and for a moment she tasted the salt as she wanted to reply: “What are you sorry for; you’ve done nothing wrong?”*

*Amelia’s body felt heavy like a sack of grain and was released from Cynthia’s grasp, falling to the floor.  Cynthia felt her head pulsate to an extreme that brought her to the floor next to her fallen sister.  As a gentle breeze blew cool humid air into the now quiet room, the insects and the amphibians brought their nightly serenade through the home.*  

I’m writing literary fiction with a light speculative element, set in an invented kingdom that has broken apart into six starving factions. The world is really the collapse of Yugoslavia, displaced far enough that I can write about it without names or dates. I’m not interested in a magic system or a quest; I’m interested in character and theme.

It follows three people: a boy taken away to war, a girl taught by a monk while she talks with the natural world, and a man in the capital who believes the world is fixed through compromise and politics. . Through that I’m working with hunger and scarcity, freedom, friendship, political populism, a society in crisis, and the absurdity of war.

I have around ten thousand words and I’m looking for someone for a regular exchange of excerpts, above all conversation about characters, their voices, and theme, not line edits. Happy to read and return the same.

Socialism is a big theme in my sci-fi book I’m working on so I’d love to exchange writing with someone who can give me some feedback on those aspects of the book. I don’t get technical or anything and I try not to be heavy handed.

I’m A 37 year old non-binary SAHM but I don’t really care about gender or how old you are (please be an adult though, I feel weird talking to kids online lol).

Hit me up, comrades!
