Reni
The Queen of all Birds
Hello everyone. My name is Reni Or if you like Ren this is my request thread.
Ok, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way:
My style of writing is emotionally based meaning I spend a lot of time exploring my character's thoughts and feelings.
My characters are complex individuals who have wants and needs. They also tend to be sassy little things so expect some humor.
I am looking for a good story and not just smut. (Note that I am not opposed to smut, trust me I love it! But I just want a coherent story around the smut.)
I put a lot of thought into my writing and I expect my writing partners to put in a similar amount of effort. Posts should be at least 3-5 paragraphs long. I often average around 5-7 paragraphs per post but can do more or less depending on the situation. Mostly I match what I am given. Please no one-line responses.
I can post frequently, sometimes multiple times a day, but if you are unable to I completely understand. Not everyone has the same amount of flexibility that I have and that is ok. I do try to check in with my partners if I have not heard from them in a while though.
Also, I enjoy out-of-character chat and plotting quite a lot, so expect a fair amount of communication from me if we partner up.
I don't mind spelling or grammar mistakes. We all make them. It should also be noted that my spelling and grammar may be off sometimes as I am dyslexic. I do try to proofread my writing and spell check but It's not uncommon for me to miss things during the process. I do use Grammarly
Now that is done let's move on to the fun stuff! Hooray!:
I am a huge history nerd and therefore adore Historical Romance. (Think trashy romance novels with Fabio on the cover) It is and always will be my favorite thing to write. The period I deal in spans from ancient Greece and Rome, to about the late 1800s. I especially love the medieval period and the Renaissance. So if you are into that time please message me! Also, know that I try to be a period as accurately as possible. But I don't expect you to be an expert. If you are not a history buff and not sure what is period-accurate that is OK! As long as there is no inappropriate technology (I.e. electricity before the 1900's) I am fine with some inaccuracies. Some other topics I enjoy are mythology, fantasy, and supernatural storylines.
Another thing that I LOVE in a plot is drama! I'm talking mellow drama here. While sunshine rainbows and happy endings are all well and good and have their place I find that things are just so much more interesting with a good amount of drama thrown in for some flair.
Plots (bold=craving)
1. Set either in a medieval society (Low fantasy) or ancient Greece MC is a princess. She is remarkably beautiful but can be a bit vain. Due to her beauty, her father has received many offers for her hand. Unable to choose without offending one Ally or another he had decided the best way to find her a groom was to hold a bridal contest. A tournament in which all who wished to participate could do so in hopes of winning the Princess's hand. YC is either low-level nobility or even a simple commoner who has decided to try his luck. Against the odds he wins the tournament and the hand of the Princess. From there, we explore the implications of such a match. Will YC rise up and claim glory and perhaps even a throne? Or will MC be brought down to a lower status in life and learn a valuable lesson?
2. Set in the Old West MC is a teacher who has just come to town. There she meets YC the owner of a saloon/brothel who runs half the town. There is an Instant dislike between the morally upright teacher and the somewhat skeevy business owner. But there is also an undeniable chemistry. Something that becomes impossible to deny as the two are forced to work together for the good of the town.
Pairings and Settings
King X Queen
Prince X Princess
Lord X Lady
Nobility X Peasant
Knight x Princess
Knight x Lady
Commoner x Noble
Barbarian x Princess/lady
Fairytale Retelling
Arranged marriage
Western/frontier (Mail order bride)
Regency (Think Bridgerton)
Victorian
Greek or Roman
I am also open to high and low fantasy settings.
If you have other ideas related to the Genres listed above I would be happy to hear them. I am always open to suggestions. But I don't care for a modern setting. Just not my cup of tea.
So if you are ready to dive into history and all it has to offer shoot me a message and let the storytelling commence! Let's make History.
