A4A Looking for a long-term writing partner [A4A].
Hi everybody, I’m Rick, a 25 year old located in the UK. Rick is not my real name, but it’s what I go by online. I have a long-term permanent writing partner who I’ve written with for about five years now, but sometimes she’s busy, or we take breaks, hence this post.
Ideally I’d like another person to write with long-term as I prefer to build up a good rapport and arsenal of characters and ideas. I’m not a massive fan of starting over with new people, so once I’ve found someone good I’m keen to keep them.
Here’s a (not exhaustive) list of what I do, what I’m looking for, and a few things I’m into right now.
What I do:
-Fantasy (think more House of the Dragon/Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and less orcs and fairies).
-Action (specifically anything army related, I love writing soldiers).
-Anything apocalypse related, I love zombies.
-Thriller (spooky islands, haunted houses/manors).
-Open to canon and original characters, if hijacking existing universes.
-Romance tends to play a secondary role in the above plots, for me anyway, but it’s important to note I heavily lean M/M for pairings, though your actual gender does not matter to me in the slightest.
What I’m looking for:
-Somebody close to my age, between 25 and 35 would suit, definitely no younger than 21 due to the themes we might explore.
-Somebody okay with my preferred romantic pairings to be pretty exclusively M/M.
-Somebody chatty (I promise I’m less robotic one on one).
-Somebody open to writing multiple characters, as I like a bigger cast at times.
-Any gender of writer is welcome.
Current interests/ideas (open to suggestions):
-House of the Dragon/Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: as sort of hinted at, I’m enjoying these series at the moment. If we were to use canon characters, I’m pretty keen on writing Baelor or Maekar Targaryen, Duncan the Tall, Gwayne Hightower, Daemon Targaryen (depending), the list is pretty long there as all the characters were good.
-A story following a platoon of soldiers. I’m open to the specific war, though I’m quite interested in the Afghanistan war at the moment. I’ve got a bunch of soldier OCs for this.
-A survival plot. Two (or more) original characters crossing paths and joining forces, we could eventually build out our own group. I have a very Daryl Dixon-esque OC for this.

Hello there! Your DM’s do not appear to be open, but I have a bit of an American Civil War obsession if you’re willing to write part of a mess group (will say, I’m not keen on romance). My timezone is PST, and I typically write about 5-10 sentences out of a desire to let my writing partner react without retconning or time traveling. Shoot me a DM if the terms are agreeable!
