Hello, and thanks for taking a look at my request thread.
I'm currently
open and looking for
one story as I try to figure out the demands of my muse.
I've been doing this for a long while and concepts I've explored a few times already don't grab my attention as much.
I am primarily interested in stories that feature a balance of highs and lows, angst, inner turmoil, and characters that sit well in the center of the moral spectrum. I write flawed, realistic women and I seek flawed, realistic male characters to pair them with. I have a list of themes and settings I'm into, but I think that rounded characters can make most plot nuggets interesting. The only thing that I won't write is sex scenes without meaning; I tried it once, and couldn't go past the third response.
I am looking for an
experienced roleplayer who understands how to provide hooks and respond to them, someone who can comfortably shift from 2 paragraphs to 5 as the scene develops. Ideally you are familiar with narration, realistic dialog, detailed description and exposition as well as sharing the duties of making the world feel alive around our protagonists.
Writing has been an art form to me for a long time, but you don't need to share that passion for us to have a good time. Roleplay skills and writing skills share some common ground, but they are separate things to me. I require a decent grasp of grammar in order to stay interested but not much beyond that. I get hooked on quality writing, which indulges when an opportunity arises; let's do away with those literate, advanced literate and novella labels already, what do you think?

Storytelling & world-building
-
• I enjoy it when both me and my buddies take on the role of the GM interchangeably to provide setting details through location descriptions, NPC interactions and world events to move the plot forward; I'll be doing it by default, and if we play together I'll expect you to return the favor!
• I'd like both of us to actively move the plot forward with every post, in small or big ways. Your character needs to fall prey to predicaments, present problems, and increase the plot's tension here and there.
• I usually start with a basic, arranged plot through brainstorming with my writing buddy, and get inspired for more scenes and themes during roleplay but I'm very flexible on this. I will bring those up OOC or simply organically reveal them IC depending on your preference, assuming we already have shared themes we're interested in exploring in the role-play. If you would rather arrange a lot of things beforehand, that's absolutely good by me too, just talk to me about it.

In short
• 3rd person, past tense, rhythmically descriptive but tamed by common sense; 2-4 thick paragraphs on average
• comfortable sharing the DM duties for world-building & secondary characters
• active & invested in the roleplay, friendly & honest with my partners
• eager to do dark themes as long as the writing does them justice
• happy to include sex in our story; the type and quantity of it will depend on the character I'm playing
A little more
• I prefer
frequent roleplay responses and/or OOC chats to keep my head in the story. It's unlikely you'll have to wait more than 3 or 4 days for a response from me and I'd like more or less the same from a partner.
• My interests are many; I don't expect you to come to me with a fully-fleshed arc — I'd like to contribute to that — but I'd like you to have ideas and to be equally eager to talk about them with me.
Be honest and share your thoughts with me.
• My goal, always, is to make things work and be fun for
both of us. Not having fun, too busy, or lost interest? Just tell me, it'll be cool.
• Let's do our best to avoid the email correspondence style in our dialogue: When our characters are talking, please do not go on and on about more than a single topic or too many actions assuming that my character's reactions will simply fill in the pauses between your quotation marks. I value the back and forth between characters highly, it often adds to characterization as well as spontaneity, and I need the dialogue to feel realistic. If I go too far, you can nudge me and I'll edit my post accordingly; I'd like us to be comfortable enough to do this without angst.
• When it comes to character portraits I can do realistic
digital art & real people, but not manga-style. At this time it's unlikely I'll play without any visual reference provided.
I've been playing with AI art and it's fun.

The shortest kind, dialogue exchange
-
Whatever back and forth Christopher was going through while under her scrutiny was way more familiar a landscape for her than what had transpired between them in her kitchen barely a minute ago. One brow stood a little higher than the other in her expression, one she did not care to conceal from him when he glanced back at her and kept talking. Ramona listened, but seeing he made no shooing motion, nor appeared in any way more upset or stiff than he already was, communicated with her a positive for her intended approach further.
She stepped inside and closed the door merely a heartbeat before he got on his feet, holding their clothes in her left hand against her dusky form. His apology found a response in her shaking head and her soon free, right hand dismissing it with a wave, but only his literal proximity softened her dark features. Head tipped back for her eyes to hook onto his own, and Ramona nodded subtly to his words. "Who is this old man?" asked she and quietly so, deeply, narrowing her eyes a little, tilting her head aside, and moved the clothes from one to the other hand just so she could easier let them drop on the end of her bed. The woman had grown cooler, much cooler than before, but once her limbs were free they came to his meaty sides to loosely hold him just the same.

A longer rapid-fire post

The silence that followed was more familiar to her than his presence, yet the latter disturbed the former considerably. At the beginning, she shifted to lean back against the cave wall, facing the opening of the room and keeping Zar'vrae in her sights too. But as heartbeats turned into turns of the clock, her attention shifted from the potential dangers of the alive, although wet forest, to him.
She turned her head and made sure his eyes were sealed, but one glance to his face wasn't enough to reassure her of that. Afraid that he might be playing games with her, she kept checking whether his eyelids were stuck together for a good while before she allowed herself to visually explore him. Pale purples licked the contours of his cheeks and caressed the curves of his ears before slipping down towards the crook of his neck. They dipped further down where vest casted shadows on his skin and crept over it in ways they really shouldn't, following the up and down motion of his chest and abdomen as he breathed. She observed his attire and accessories anew, this time focusing on every little trinket and specifically taking note of his tiny instruments, then climbed back up to admire his arms, bare as they were.
Yet even after the slow, thorough travel of scrutiny her glance crawled back to his face and lingered on his eyebrows, his nose and the shape of his mouth, all of which made her even more aware of just how perfect he was for a performer. Mal'thrae had been destined for a position altogether different in life; she had not crossed paths with his kind often, willingly at least. Somehow here, now, in the absence of any other stimuli, the details of his appearance sang to her almost overwhelmingly loudly, causing not just her face but her whole body to warm up — a sort of stress response, albeit of a different type.
She crossed her arms on her chest and rubbed her arms with her hands, turning her head away from him — blinking out of what felt like a feverish haze. Was it possible he had put a spell on her? Whatever heat was spreading in her chest felt uncomfortably strong. Thus it was her turn to try and relax, closing her eyes to avoid the sight of him altogether. Like that she, too, slipped into reverie, although not intentionally, but merely while trying to guide her mind away from the thoughts of him.

A starter in asynchronous writing
-
It had been a day and a half—or maybe it was just that every new day weighed heavier and heavier on her pale, freckled shoulders ever since the incident.
A good wife ought to forgive her husband, and make sure he would stay in the nest. Jack, however, had left the nest right around when she was the most vulnerable—or so they had thought. The pregnancy had turned out to be "just a cycle irregularity". Stress, the gynecologist had said, or other lifestyle factors were to blame. It had done little to soften the blow of his infidelity, nonetheless. It felt wrong to touch you, he had told her, then when she had felt more precious than ever, and Catherine had sobbed and yelled both, but let him stay just so they could try again.
It had all started so hopefully those seven years back. A handsome face and a charming smile that were supposed to stay in Salem only for a few days ended up being her everything. While Jack and she were studying, she had to compromise with the long distance relationship, but year after year, video call after video call and flight after flight, he had persuaded her to move out of Oregon and into Montana. We'll set up our own house. Jack's eyes had glinted with such excitement, and she had trusted in him and them, and had taken the plunge.
The marriage had been warm and heartfelt, but it had also come with tears. Her friends and family were not moving away from Oregon anytime soon, so uniting her life with her husband's brought forward a separation from everyone else's life… And she was looking forward to helping him out every step of the way—she had, after all, gotten her Bachelor's and was ready to work—but Jack had insisted. No longer would she need to work, and he had taken her student debt as one of his responsibilities.
It was all too good to be true. Their first home had been small, but Catherine hadn't minded—sacrifices were to be expected on the path to greatness. Yet three years later, and after moving to this residence, her handsome husband had proved that his looks were the only reliable quality he could provide her with.
She had taken to babysitting to relieve him of some of the burden the worse their finances got. Had she aimed for a real job, Catherine was not sure Jack's ego could take it. And she did not want to scratch it or burn it, but the silence and the tolerance only added to the frustrations within. It didn't help that he could not even provide her release half the times they got naked.
All she had been hoping for was time: if he could just keep on doing that a little longer, kiss her and touch her more, she could come, but some nights he was all too tired, and Catherine did her duty until he was spent and she was blushed up and down her neck. But satisfied, she was not.
This night he was out of the house, chasing some new opportunity that she couldn't bring herself to hope for. After she had come back from the Bedfords' house, the redhead had swept the porch and had gathered the fallen leaves from the trees surrounding their building, then put a casserole on the stove for nothing really creative. Macaroni and cheese was simple enough and filling too—she no longer felt like impressing Jack with new, hearty recipes. Chances were, by the time he got home it would be too late for dinner anyway. While the stove was still warm, and without using more power, she put some water in the pot and tossed a few tea leaves in it. It would get ready while she went to take a shower, unwilling to look as tired and worn for their land owner's visit as she felt.
After that, she took a few minutes to blow dry most of the wetness off her hair, and applied a sparse few drops of argan oil to the ends, brushing it back thoroughly until she was satisfied with the parting; it had to be exactly in the middle. She put on a pair of dusty rose panties and her white brassiere, a thin, sleeveless undershirt and her short-sleeved button-up shirt over it, before she slipped her ruddy red skirt on and pushed her feet into comfortable, brown leather slippers.
She didn't feel like eating, Catherine realized as she pressed her tiny pearl earrings onto her lobes, walking back into the kitchen. What am I going to say to him? Of course, it fell on her to explain their situation, and her stomach was in a knot made out of shame, guilt, and frustration. Not long after, the car's engine warned her of a new arrival. Must be him.
What she wanted was to give the man the money they owed him, but the only thing she could give him now were excuses.
If only she had not allowed herself to believe being a homemaker was a realistic scenario anymore. If only she had not moved here, if only she had not trusted Jack with everything. If only God hadn't made him this weak.
The visitor knocked. Chin up. She could almost hear her mother's voice in her ears, and her shoulders straightened, bringing the small, silver cross that adorned her pale collar out under the living room's light. With quiet steps and the murmurs of her thick skirt, she carried herself to the window next to the door, checked who was outside, and forced a smile on her rosy lips. She did not have time, nor energy to do her makeup like she used to back in college, but time had been kind thus far and she could get away with just a sheen of lipstick on most days.
Dotted fingers wrapped around the door handle and the keys in the lock, rotating and swirling, until the door was ajar. She pulled it open and shared that polite grimace with him and let her own scent of roses and sandalwood, as well as the leftover cooking smells, greet his nostrils.
"Hello, good evening," she welcomed him quietly, as if her guilt was pulling at her vocal chords. "Please, come in." It was his property, for fuck's sake, and how bitter the irony stung at the moment! Clear blue eyes met his face, then dived to the ground, only noticing the bottle in his grasp in the aftermath of her systole. A man of good manners. Was he going to kick them out? Or maybe he just means to sweeten the pill. She couldn't blame him for that, could she? With a step and a half backwards, she allowed him the space to walk in and tossed a careful, long look at the driveway and surrounding area.
Many more samples upon request; you can also check my posts on the forum, though keep in mind my writing adapts to the personality of the character I am playing and my fellow writer's energy.
