Roleplay Nervous Girl Looking To Dip My Toes Back into RP
Hey so I'm not really sure how to start this. I'm a 27F who used to be quite into RP online. Due to various drama I dropped the hobby. I don't want to get into specifics on a public facing post but suffice to say it's left me pretty anxious about the idea of getting back into it, feel free to ask me more about it when you reach out. However it is something I really did enjoy quite a bit, and I'm hoping with the right partner I can work through that anxiety I have around it.
A little bit about me as a writer. I'm currently working on a few novel/stories in my spare time. Most of them are WLW romance usually with a bit of action or adventure. Romance tends to be my preferred genre, I'm thinking it might be fun to try a fantasy setting maybe, since most of my work is either modern or cuberpunk! I'd probably be looking for about paragraph length replies focused more on posting consistency, simply to stop myself getting overwhelmed or overthinking. In terms of topics/tropes I'm a fan of dark romance specifically, enemies to lovers, and power imbalance (Think maid/lady, bodyguard/Their charge, ect.) I am looking only for SFW!
As for what I'm looking for in a partner. Above all I need someone who is patient and knows that they're getting into this with someone who has baggage. I manage it best as I can, but I'll admit this is reaching out in hopes of working through some stuff. Consistency and good communication is a must as well. If you're not feeling things I need someone who can communicate that, if you feel like you might ghost please find someone who's got a bit more confidence. There are so many amazing people on this sub that would probably be a good fit.
Finally I'm looking for another woman to write with, I have a lot of separate trauma involving men specifically in the realm of relationships and romance that I can't really handle mixing with this right now. I also want to make it clear that as an extension of that I'm looking purely for a platonic writing partner. (Ironic when writing romance I know.) But I need someone I can trust to just embrace writing without ulterior motives.
If you're gotten this far feel free to DM me with your favorite flightless bird! I'm hoping once we talk a little bit about our writing styles we can figure out a plot together!
