Hello, writers of The Inner Sanctum. I'm back searching for some partners with compatible preferences and play styles. Have a read, shoot me a message if what you see appeals, but if not, thanks for checking out the thread anyway.
The important things to get out of the way are as follows:
NOTE: This is really important. If you don't understand the difference between top/bottom and dominant/submissive, we're going to have issues. Dominant (and if you write 'dominate' instead we're really not going to click) and submissives are part of a BDSM lifestyle. Top, bottoms and switches (or versatile if you prefer) are all about who puts what where, not whether those men are powerful, authoritative types or meek and obedient. I cannot stand stereotypes.
That said, please be aware that most of my characters are either straight-acting tops, or switches who haven't a preference or exhibit top leanings. I won't play a bottom for you.
Similarly, we won't be playing if all you play are bottoms. Switches are fine. I'll have even more fun with the chemistry if your character is also inclined to top, since it could lead to some interesting dynamics and disputes.
So, with the bedroom stuff out of the way...

Plot ideas:
■ Carnal Disaster
Character A is an actor, twenty-eight years old and a newcomer to the red carpet, 'discovered' whilst playing a bit-part for his friend's amateur dramatics group. He's not handling the limelight well. In fact, behind the scenes he's a nervous wreck, in constant fear of his rather sordid past being unearthed by his detractors. It's difficult to avoid trouble after all, when you're a half-demon, and now the scrutiny is crippling.
Character B is an incubus, a lust-demon, the proprietor of a popular, members only swingers club, where he contentedly feeds on the lust-filled orgies he catalyzes with his demonic energies. The club is a playground for the rich and famous, who arrive masked to conceal their identities, and sign waivers to ensure what happens at the club, stays at the club without the risk of repercussions. Character B is not supposed to be there. In fact, he's hiding from hell's legions – he's not very good at being a demon and will be in big trouble if he gets dragged back, for shirking his duties.
Character A's new A-list 'friends' (one of whom is intent on tarnishing his good name) decide he needs to learn how to relax, and for his birthday, entice him to the club. The result is a disaster of comically carnal proportions, Character A's identity at risk of exposure, and Character B's enterprise might as well have been emblazoned with a 'Demon playground here!' on its walls. Yet it's the first time in months that character A has actually felt some kind of relief from his worries, and character B isn't all that averse to having a movie star as his blackmail victim…
■ Obsession
Character A and Character B have a drunken, one night stand. It's the best sex either of them has ever had, and yet when Character A wakes the next morning, he finds his bed empty, and he has no idea who the man he slept with was, nor any way to contact him. The only thing he has is a blurry picture on his phone from the club they met in, and none of the friends he went with seem to recognize him.
Fast forward two months, and Character A returns to college as a senior, still fixated on the mystery man, only to find one of his new professors is his run-away obsession. Notoriously cold, and prone to scaring his students, Character B acts as if he doesn't remember Character A, and his composed elegance is nothing like the sloe-eyed, hedonistic looking man in the picture.
Convinced that the professor is lying, Character A can't resist the urge to convince him to admit the truth, and sets about trying to win him over with frightening determination. It's an unhealthy infatuation he can't shake, until one night he corners the professor on his way home and discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew. Character B is a vampire, new made, and with an appetite that could be deadly.
■ Reincarnation
Character A is big, handsome and was the typical alpha male growing up, the most sought after guy on campus and never short of friends. A few years later and he's a drunk, miserable mess. He's fresh out of college having barely scraped through, is swamped in student loans, and struggling to keep a roof over the head of his abusive, violent father (to whom he feels indebted) and younger sister. He manages to get by secretly working as a 'Host', a glorified escort at a local gay bar/night club, but returns home every night feeling nothing but self loathing.
Character B is hunting. He has a head full of past-life memories and dreams every night of the same face - that of the man who ruined his previous life, who stole everything and everyone he loved. Now he's glimpsed the man's face in a new, modern world, and can think of nothing sweeter than paying him back tenfold. But what happens when he finally tracks him down, and discovers karma has already done the work for him? This one's likely to be pretty dark throughout - I don't plan for sappy beginnings, but something more sinister.
■ Hurt
Character A is well-known in his rural hometown. He's young, polite, handsome, strong as an ox and the target of many would-be mother in laws eager to introduce him to their eligible daughters. Despite his popularity, he lacks the associated ego that might be expected, and seems content with his solitary circumstances. Once a month, he heads to the big city to indulge, spending his savings to hire someone who'll cater to his cravings; he's a closet masochist, who wants nothing more than to be beaten bloody. The shadows of his past, his regrets, demand this penance if he's to have any peace.
Character B is a shadow demon, one of many 'Darklings' who make their home in the city, a creature several hundred years old who finds the fleeting little candleflickers that are humans fascinating. Only able to pass into the human world at night, and in the very limited confines of the bordello, he longs to see more of the world. He's meted out punishment for character A on several occasions, and finds himself intrigued by his client's trauma. Intrigued enough to coax him to spill a few secrets in the aftermath. After one particularly brutal session, he suggests a more permanent arrangement.
A soul-binding that will allow the demon to taste life through his client, to walk in the sunshine, eat human food, feel fully, as they do. Character A will be able to summon him at will for the relief he craves, but his life will be significantly shortened. Things, as they are wont to, become more complicated than they ever expected.
If any of the above plots pique your interest, fantastic. If you have your own ideas and want to propose them to me, feel free.
Note: I will not play m-preg, vore, scat, foot fetishes, anything underage, furry or bestiality.
The important things to get out of the way are as follows:
- I'm old by most forums' standards. More than double the minimum age to write here. I ask that anyone that messages me requesting play is over 25 for the sake of personal comfort. In essence, I don't want to feel like an old creep.
- I only write male characters, with other male characters.
- I'm UK based, which means at best I'm 5 hours ahead of you and at worst 8, if you're in the USA. Though I keep to odd hours, there's a high possibility our schedules may clash, so don't expect instant replies.
- Similar writing styles - let's share examples and decide if we'll click. I like detail, pretty prose and momentum.
- Someone willing to pull their weight in moving the story along.
- Someone capable of crafting a complex character. Have a history for them, have NPCs, foibles and little character quirks that make them unique. If I don't feel for the characters, no story is going to make me want to keep writing.
- World building. Let's establish one together. I don't mind if we just agree on some basics or really buckle down and get into the nitty gritty of religion, politics, language and culture, but give me some input.
NOTE: This is really important. If you don't understand the difference between top/bottom and dominant/submissive, we're going to have issues. Dominant (and if you write 'dominate' instead we're really not going to click) and submissives are part of a BDSM lifestyle. Top, bottoms and switches (or versatile if you prefer) are all about who puts what where, not whether those men are powerful, authoritative types or meek and obedient. I cannot stand stereotypes.

So, with the bedroom stuff out of the way...
- Masculine characters. No femme boys. No androgynes.
- Damaged goods. Want to give them a fucked up back story? Awesome. Just don't make them weak victims who spend the whole story lamenting their woes. They'll have enough to deal with in the future, I assure you.
- Strong characterisation. Intriguing personalities. Don't feed me everything all at once, the mystery of their revelations is part of the fun of writing together!
- Fantasy (low, high epic, medieval, modern - I'm down)
- Grimdark (bleak, dark subject matter of the fantasy sort)
- Science fiction
- Historical
- Select fandoms (Dragon Age, World of Warcraft, Erha, MXTX Danmei, and Brandon Sanderson worlds only)
