Hey there! I figured it was probably time I stopped hovering around the forums like some slightly confused ghost and actually made a proper search thread. I’m 21 on here, friendly, pretty easygoing, and currently looking to meet some new writers and hopefully collect a few stories that make me way too emotionally invested in fictional people again.
I’m honestly open to almost anything when it comes to genre. Modern, fantasy, horror, supernatural, crime, romance, historical, post-apocalyptic, dystopian, sci-fi, slice of life, psychological, fandom, original worlds, strange crossovers that sound ridiculous until they suddenly work... throw it at me. I’m not really someone who needs everything neatly boxed into one category. Half the fun is when a story starts as one thing and mutates into something completely different six weeks later.
What matters more to me than genre is that there’s actually something there to play with. I love characters with personalities, histories, flaws, habits, bad decisions, baggage, secrets, odd little quirks, and enough room to surprise both of us. I’m not looking for perfect people wandering through perfect plots where nothing ever really changes. Give me complications. Give me disagreements. Give me unexpected loyalty, inconvenient attraction, mistakes that actually matter, and characters who come out the other side a little different than when they walked in.
I’m also very open when it comes to tone. We can write something soft and funny one minute, then horribly tense the next. I love slow burns, dark plots, messy relationships, enemies who absolutely should not be staring at each other like that, reluctant alliances, betrayal, found family, rivalry, obsession, mystery, survival, political nonsense, supernatural disasters, morally grey people doing questionable things for reasons that make far too much sense, and stories where neither of us is completely sure how we ended up here.
I’m perfectly happy with romance, but I don’t need every story to revolve around it. If romance happens, I like it to actually develop. Let them annoy each other. Let them misunderstand things. Let them become important to one another gradually instead of deciding they’re soulmates because they shared eye contact in reply number two. I love chemistry when it feels earned, whether it turns into something sweet, toxic, tragic, complicated, or an absolute train wreck neither character has the good sense to escape.
Dark themes are welcome too. Violence, horror, crime, death, gore, betrayal, obsession, psychological elements, war, corruption and heavier subject matter don’t scare me away. I just like darker material to serve the story rather than exist purely for shock value. Give the ugly moments consequences. Let characters react to what happens to them. Let things leave scars instead of everything magically resetting because we’ve reached the next scene.
On the complete opposite end, I also adore quieter moments. Characters sitting somewhere at an absurd hour talking about nothing important. Somebody cooking badly. Awkward road trips. An argument over something completely stupid after surviving something genuinely terrible. Those little scenes are usually where characters start feeling real to me.
Writing-wise, I’m fairly flexible. I prefer third person and I tend to lean toward multi-paragraph replies, especially when a scene gives me plenty to work with. I’m not going to count your paragraphs like an angry schoolteacher though. Some moments need more, some need less. I care much more about effort, substance, and having something meaningful to respond to than hitting a specific number every time.
I love description, but I also like movement. Paint the room for me, absolutely, but eventually somebody should probably walk through it.
I enjoy internal thoughts, atmosphere, dialogue, reactions, little details and all that good stuff, but I don’t want either of us trapped describing the same doorway for four replies because we’re both afraid to move the plot.
Plotting with me can be as structured or chaotic as you want. If you already have an idea you’ve been dying to write, send it over. If you only have a vague concept and a character, that’s fine too. If all you have is something like, “Okay, hear me out... what if these two hate each other and get stranded somewhere together?” we can absolutely build from there.
I actually really enjoy creating plots together because it gives both writers something to be excited about from the beginning. I don’t want to feel like I’m being handed a script where every scene has already been decided and I’m just filling in one role. I’d much rather throw ideas around, take pieces we both like, leave some things unexplained, and let the story surprise us later.
Please feel free to add things while we write too. Bring in NPCs. Create complications. Reveal secrets. Let something go wrong. Give somebody an enemy. Make the safe plan fail spectacularly. I love when both writers actively contribute instead of one person carrying the entire universe around on their back.
I’m also very easygoing OOC. You can talk to me normally. You don’t need to send a perfectly polished introduction or arrive with a five-page pitch deck and references. Say hi. Tell me which character caught your attention. Send me a weird plot thought. Ask me something. Ramble about your muse. I’m friendly, I promise.
Real life also exists, so I’m not expecting instant responses or daily replies from anyone. Sometimes writing comes easily, sometimes the brain decides it has left the building and refuses to elaborate. Take the time you need. I’d rather wait for something you enjoyed writing than receive a reply you forced yourself through because you thought I was hovering over your inbox with a stopwatch.
Communication is really the main thing I ask for. If something isn’t working, say so. If you want to change direction, say so. If you suddenly have a better idea, absolutely say so. I’m not going to be offended because the plot we came up with two weeks ago isn’t hitting the same anymore. Stories change. Inspiration changes. We can adjust.
I’ve got multiple characters and I’m always adding or tweaking things, so if one of mine catches your eye, feel free to point at them and say, “That one. I have thoughts.” If you like the general idea of a character but they don’t quite fit your universe, I’m usually open to discussing alternate versions too. I’d rather make something fit naturally than force two characters together with duct tape and optimism.
And if none of my current characters work for what you have in mind? That doesn’t automatically kill the idea either. I genuinely enjoy making new characters when a concept is interesting enough, so I’m not against building someone specifically for a story if we both really like the premise.
As for fandoms, I’m open there too. I’m happy working inside established universes, playing original characters in canon settings, adapting characters into different verses, or just borrowing the bones of a universe and creating our own version of it. You don’t need to assume I’ll only write strict canon or only originals. I’m pretty flexible as long as we’re both having fun with it.
Basically, if you’ve got something weird, dramatic, dark, sweet, violent, romantic, funny, heartbreaking, supernatural, grounded, completely ridiculous, or somewhere in the middle, I’m willing to hear it.
✦ I’m especially fond of slow burns, enemies-to-lovers, reluctant allies, dangerous people being unexpectedly gentle, morally grey characters, crime, supernatural horror, apocalypse settings, messy romance, found family, complicated friendships, betrayal, survival, character-driven drama, and plots that begin with one simple idea and somehow become an entire universe.
If you made it this far, congratulations, you have survived my rambling introduction. Your reward is permission to bother me.
Seriously, message me.
Tell me about the character you’re currently obsessed with. Send me the plot you’ve been sitting on because you weren’t sure anyone would want it. Ask about one of mine. Come at me with nothing except a genre and a questionable idea.
Worst case, we chat for a bit and decide it isn’t a match.
Best case, we look back months from now and wonder how a casual “hey, want to write?” somehow turned into two idiots emotionally destroying fictional people together at ungodly hours.
Sounds pretty good to me.
