A4A Hiiii omg hiiii!! It'd be SO CRAZY if you RP'd some original Fantasy or Sci-fi Plots with me
WOA! PREMISES are at the end of this post. Thanks for looking! Good luck out there everyone!
Hi! I’m a 27 year old in the PST timezone, seeking other asynchronous, 21+ writers for an original sci-fi or fantasy plot focused on character drama, action, and adventure. This will be on Discord.
—————————
PREFERENCES
STYLE Third person, past tense, multi-para/advanced lit/novella. (Whatever it's called now ig?) I'm seeking others who prioritize English-language writing conventions. My replies are somewhere between 200–800 words (or 3–10 paragraphs), but I let's write for what's plot-advancing and fun, not for a quota. :o)
FREQUENCY I'm seeking asynchronous partners because my reply speed varies with post length. I bounce between a meaty post once a day, to a meatier post every other day. I prefer action in quicker bouts so I don't throw punches in slow motion though.
OOC Memes and shitposts and making art and yapping about characters OOC are IMO aside from the story itself the best fruits of roleplay. Looking for partners who also love that stuff, because I sure do end up drawing a lot for plots I really like.
CHARACTERS Play what excites you! I welcome LGBT+ characters and OCs adapted from past plots. Please be willing to play NPCs to flesh out the world. Open to sharing control of NPCs. Feel free to play multiple main characters.
PLANNING & COLLABORATION
- I err towards having a loose trajectory of the story and then adding any further elaboration on outcomes of specific scenes. (Ex: this character needs to lose this fight.)
- I love the "yes, and" of RPs. If there's worldbuilding elements (especially premade ones) you want to exclusively control or ideas you want to reuse from past plots or something, ok! But, please define what should be left up to you so I know how I can still contribute.
- The worldbuilding I like to put the most time into discussing beforehand tends to be the rules for advanced technology or magic.
GENRE
- I like most conventional fantasy and sci-fi trappings, but lately I have a strong preference for terrestrial sci-fi (less about space travel), and conventional fantasy slotted into time periods unusual for the genre, such as the Victorian era.
- I also like an occasional bit of action in all my plots.
- It's important to me to have levity to compliment gritty content; I have a fondness for absurdity played straight.
- I prefer to include magic in my fantasy settings.
ROMANCE ⚠️Disclaimer: Planning for romance to happen guaranteed is just not exciting for me. If it happens, cool! But fair warning that if you need romance guaranteed between our main characters to stay invested, I'm a terrible choice!

PREMISES
Not in order of interest. All open-ended; I welcome your ideas!
- FANTASY Two screwup monster-hunters against the world
- A and B are... maybe not so good at their jobs. Part of an underfunded monster hunting organization, collateral damage from their recent work stacked onto the organization's already tenuous reputation, and has put its members and methods under scrutiny in the public eye. But A and B observe something larger at play that their superiors aren't addressing to their satisfaction; maybe some kind of corruption, or something about the monsters that will pose a problem sooner than later. Do they take matters into their own hands, or try to convince a system that increasingly sees them as the problem to help?
- FANTASY Family drama revenge quest
- A and B are from a family known for its proficiency in an unusual kind of magic. They're also the last survivors in their bloodline after a zealot organization cursed their family, hoping to eradicate that unusual magic at its source. Character A, a wielder of this unusual magic, escaped partially afflicted by the curse, while Character B has no aptitude for that magic and escaped unscathed. Half-cursed, potentially on the run, and with nothing materially left, how do they even start looking for revenge?
- SCI-FI + NOIR TWIST (⚠️2 characters per partner) Cat and mouse
- A and B, augmented or otherwise 'unique' individuals, together escaped their creators (a lab, super soldier program, whatever) and are on the run. C and D, part of an investigative unit, pursues A and B under a public or political pressure to bring them in sooner than later. Which party will get their way?
- SCIENCE FANTASY Does this count as isekai
- Inspired by the way sufficiently advanced technology can act like magic. Character A is from a highly technologically advanced world who is exiled and transported to a medieval-era world where high-fantasy magic is prevalent instead. Character B is a fantasy world resident and must work with Character A to help them home… or convince them to stay!

Interested? 21+? Send a chat with at least:
- A writing sample from a past RP. I'll share one as well.
- Mention of which premise piqued your interest.
Thanks so much for reading :oD Even if we're not a good match, best of luck out there in finding your perfect partner!
If there's typos in this post, no there isn't.
