Hello, and thanks for taking a look at my thread! I’m always happy to meet new partners and see what kind of story we might build together. If you enjoy exploring what makes characters tick — their wants, fears, and contradictions — we’ll probably click right away. I’m drawn to writers who like depth and consequence, and stories where characters grow because of what they feel, not just because of the events around them.
If you prefer to keep things simple and mostly external, my style might feel a bit heavier than you want, and that’s totally okay. I love a good overarching plot, but I like the characters to be the ones driving the story. And despite all this seriousness about craft, I’m pretty laid‑back OOC. I take the story seriously; myself, not so much!

mindset
- I value open and direct communication. My goal, always, is to make things fun for both of us. If you're not enjoying it, getting busy, or losing interest, just let me know! I don't take these things personally, and I’d much rather adjust than guess.
- I enjoy partners who contribute with ideas, NPCs, and world flavor so we’re both shaping the narrative instead of one person doing the world-building. I’ll be doing this by default, and I’d appreciate if you’re up for sharing the creative load.
- As for planning: if we map out every beat from the beginning, it starts to feel like homework — if we plan nothing, we’ll walk circles around one another's character, waiting for the plot to come on its own. I prefer the middle ground: enough structure to get us started and keep us aligned, and enough freedom to let the characters lead and surprise us from time to time.
- My characters run the moral gamut, and that means some stories will be darker, or hotter than others. I’m comfortable exploring all that, and I don't have set ratios, but I need partners who approach those moments with thoughtfulness: understand and show the psychology at play, be open to discussing boundaries before and during, and make sure these scenes genuinely deepen the story. I don’t write for shock value or personal gratification.
- I tend to invest in my partners and the stories we build, so a collab with real foundations matters more to me than chasing one craving. That’s why I list themes first and not plots — I’m here for creative chemistry that can carry us through multiple stories, not a two‑week sprint that fizzles out.

characters
- Give me flaws, quirks, regrets, and choices that grow naturally out of who the character is. Tropes can be a fun starting point, but I’m most excited, and truly invested, when a character feels like a person with internal cohesion and texture.
- Most of my characters are ready to drop into a story, each tied to themes I’m eager to explore. Some are flexible and can be adapted to different settings; others are more fixed in their worlds. I can write some canon characters, but it depends on the setting, and I still create new OCs whenever the mood hits. I’ve posted a few sheets here, but the rest (all 40 something of them) live rent‑free in my brain.
- For character portraits I use realistic digital art or photographs, but I can also go without. Please nothing anime — sorry friends, it's just not my thing.
writing style
- I love posts that show me what a character is feeling through their behavior, tone, or those subtle tells. Give me the how, the what, and the why — that’s what gets me hooked.
- Word counts don’t matter to me — what we do with them does. I tend to write a few paragraphs because I enjoy sitting in my character’s head and responding to everything she picks up while keeping the story moving. Expect deliberate, internally‑driven prose in third‑person past that doesn't sacrifice atmosphere either; samples are in the next post.
- You don’t need to match my
hyperfixationdevotion to grammar and syntax, nor my habit of overthinking‑everything prose. What matters most is the collaboration — offering hooks, raising stakes, adjusting the pace, and helping the story grow in ways neither of us could manage alone.
quirks
- Please don’t move my character or make their choices without checking in OOC. If you want to influence their decisions or steer the story to a particular direction, give me a nudge first!
- I prefer not to stack multiple comments or lines of dialogue in a single post so both characters have space to react to whatever actually lands for them. Since we don’t always know what that will be until it’s on the page, I love partners who aren’t precious about every line and can adjust, add, or remove things to keep the scene flowing naturally.
If you’ve made it through all of this without rolling your eyes, you’re already my kind of person. Send me the OC or theme that grabbed you, and let’s see what kind of delightful chaos we can co‑author! ♥
