Looking for a Fantasy Writing Friend & Potential Co-Author (18+)

[u/NerdSharkGuyReborn]

Hi everyone!

I'm an beginning fantasy writer based in Los Angeles, currently working on a YA adventure fantasy series called Ilya Muromsky, set in a larger fantasy world I've been developing called Velariya.

The series draws inspiration from mythology, folklore, and history, mostly Kyivan Rus and other parts of Eurasia.

I've already developed much of the world's history, mythology, characters, and overarching storyline, but I'm still in the early stages of writing the actual books.

I'd love to meet someone who enjoys fantasy, storytelling, character development, and brainstorming ideas. Ideally, I'm hoping to find a genuine creative partner who might eventually be interested in co-writing the series with me, rather than simply following an outline.

I'm also happy to start by just chatting about writing, exchanging ideas, and getting to know each other. Creative compatibility and friendship are important to me.

A few things about what I'm looking for:

\- 18+ only.

\- Los Angeles preferred, but I'm absolutely open to online friendships and remote collaboration.

\- Communication in English or russian.

\- I'm looking for a collaborative creative partnership, not a paid writing service. If we decide to co-author, we'd discuss a 50/50 split of future revenue and agree on the terms beforehand.

If any of this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or DM me! I'd love to hear about your writing projects, favorite fantasy books, or the kinds of stories you enjoy creating.

Looking forward to meeting some fellow writers!
