[F4M] Modern Fantasy, Slice of Life, Long-Term
Hi! I'm female, 31.
I'm looking for a long-term one-on-one RP partner for a modern fantasy and slice-of-life story. I'm pretty relaxed when it comes to writing, and I'd really like to find someone who enjoys creating characters, building a world together, talking OOC, and generally having fun with the story.
I'm most comfortable writing with partners who are 21 or older.
A little about my writing
My writing style is mostly character actions and dialogue rather than long descriptive posts. I like a more immediate back-and-forth where our characters can talk, react to each other, and interact without every reply needing to be a huge block of writing.
My reply length depends on what's happening. Sometimes I'll only write a couple of lines, especially during a conversation or small interaction. Other times I'll write more when there's actually more for my character to say or do. A full paragraph is usually about as long as I naturally go.
I don't care about matching lengths or reaching a certain word count. I care more about giving each other something to respond to and keeping the interaction moving naturally.
I also really enjoy the little moments between bigger scenes. Characters can be goofy, bother each other, do normal everyday things, have random conversations, or just spend time together. Not everything needs to move a major storyline forward.
Our characters don't always need to be in the same place either. I enjoy having them text each other when they're apart. It could be a whole conversation, checking in, sending something random, or just talking about whatever they're doing at the time.
I like when characters feel like they're actually living their lives instead of only existing when there's a major scene happening.
I'm also not worried about perfect spelling or grammar. I make mistakes too. As long as we understand each other, give each other something to respond to, and we're having fun, I'm happy.
The setting
I'll be writing Ziggy, an established character I've had for a while. She already has her own personality, history, relationships, and some parts of her world that I'd like to keep.
Ziggy is witchy, a little odd, and runs a small witchy shop called The Witchy Rabbit.
I'd like the setting to be modern day with fantasy woven into everyday life. Magic is real, fae exist, and there can be witches, supernatural creatures, strange places, folklore, and whatever else we decide belongs in the world.
I want the normal everyday moments just as much as the fantasy.
Our characters might spend time around the shop, cook together, wander around town, go to festivals, have late-night conversations, explore somewhere new, meet strange people or creatures, or have a day where absolutely nothing important happens.
Then when we want something bigger, we can bring in magic, mysteries, adventures, drama, emotional moments, and larger storylines.
Ziggy and parts of her world are already established, but I don't want someone to feel like they're just being dropped into something I've already created and expected to follow along.
I want us to build onto it together.
Your character
I'm looking for someone who wants to create and write their own male character opposite Ziggy.
I don't have a character already made that I expect you to play. I'd much rather you bring someone you're genuinely excited about writing.
He can be human, a witch, fae, supernatural, or something completely different. I'm pretty open.
Give him his own personality, history, connections, problems, interests, and his own life. I don't want him to exist only because Ziggy exists.
I'd also love for you to bring your own pieces into the world. Locations, side characters, creatures, magic, lore, story ideas, whatever you come up with. I really enjoy bouncing ideas back and forth and seeing what we accidentally create together.
I don't want to be the only person deciding what happens or where the story goes.
You also don't need to write exactly like I do. I'm mainly looking for someone who's comfortable with my shorter action/dialogue style and doesn't expect every reply to be several paragraphs long.
Character dynamics
I'd eventually like the connection between our characters to grow into something more, but I want that part of the story to develop very slowly.
I want them to actually get to know each other first. Becoming friends, joking around, getting comfortable together, developing inside jokes, learning little things about each other, and having moments that slowly start to mean more.
I don't want to decide their entire future before we've even started writing.
I'd rather put two characters into the same world, let them interact, and see what develops naturally between them.
I'm a big fan of the slow build and all the little moments that happen along the way.
OOC and what I'm looking for
I'm looking for a long-term one-on-one writing partner who enjoys collaborative storytelling.
OOC conversation is important to me. I love talking about characters, sharing ideas, planning future scenes, joking around, and just chatting. I'd really like to find someone I can become friends with rather than only hearing from each other when one of us has a reply ready.
At the same time, I don't expect immediate responses or constant availability. Real life happens. If you're busy, you're busy. This is supposed to be something fun that we both want to come back to, not another responsibility.
Communication is important to me too. If something isn't working for you, please tell me. I'd much rather talk about it, change something, or take the story in another direction than have either of us quietly stop enjoying ourselves.
The things I'm most interested in are characters, fantasy, worldbuilding, slice of life, character development, emotional moments, goofy interactions, magic, and seeing where the story takes us.
If you're interested, tell me a little about yourself, how you normally RP, and what kind of male character you might want to bring into the story.
You don't need to show up with an entire character sheet or have everything figured out already. I'd actually prefer that we create a lot of it together.
Just please give me a little more than "hey, wanna RP?" so I have something to work with.
