MxF My Garden of Sorrowful Souls | Rose's Writing Garden (Looking for Writers) (Updated!)

[Rose Thorne]

Greetings! My name is Rose, and I'm searching for some dedicated writers interested in building a world of our own, with in-depth characters and stories. I have a thousand ideas that burn through my mind daily, new characters, worlds, and stories alike. I take a lot of my inspiration from music, both instrumental and lyrical. I listen to a wide variety of music genres, which helps me to create a vision for these stories and characters I have come to love.

Writing is my escape from the world around me. Time drags on behind the screen, and much of it is spent wishing for a world that doesn't exist. So writing here, with others, allows me the creative freedom to see my wildest dreams and darkest fantasies come to life. I live vicariously through my characters as I think many of us do. Here in this world, we have control of the outcomes, how far we are willing to let a character fall before building them back up and watching them grow into something more beautiful and dangerous than they ever dreamed of. Here in our writings, we are what our characters call fate.
I have been writing and creating stories since as far back as I can remember. I aspire to one day be a writer so that I can share my stories with the world and know that long after I'm dead, my characters, worlds, and ideas will live on forever. This goal feels at times far out of my grasp, but I work for it because the thought of my characters dying with me breaks my heart.

My ideal story with a partner has no boundaries. I could count on one hand the number of stories I've written with a partner who has made me feel the very emotions our characters were experiencing. That is the highest standard I could ever give someone, but it is exactly what I want. I want to feel the anger, the pain, the joy, the excitement. I want to be so invested in the story that when my character holds her breath in anticipation and I'm holding mine right along with her. This type of story takes time, commitment, communication, and someone who is deeply connected with their character and isn't afraid to take their time with a story.

• Communication: This is probably one of the most important things to me in terms of writing with someone, and it seems to always be the most problematic one for people to do. So I have decided to break it down just a bit more for people so they know exactly what to expect of me and what I expect of them.
  • Storyline: When it comes to the story, there are simply some things that I must have planned out before we start, such as, an overall plan for where to begin, and where to end, various scenes that both you and I would love to see happen through out the story, and the overall arching storyline and how it will play out. Having these things set into place gives a clear goal of where we would like to go. I have no problem with changing the course of the story as we go along to fit newly developed ideas, and I love surprise plot twists that keep me on edge, but to keep things from getting dry or chaotic there needs to be at least a good idea of where to start and what the story should be about.
  • Post Confusion: It happens to all of us; sometimes our posts don't come out exactly how we envisioned or read them, and it confuses our partner. I do this quite often myself. If you don't understand something I posted, please bring it up to me! I plan on doing the same with you. Sometimes we just need confirmation that what we think is happening is, in fact, what our partner meant, and there is nothing wrong with that! I ask you to come to me as well if I skip over needed details, or my character doesn't respond to something that your character said or did! We are all human and make mistakes or forget things!
  • Ghosting/Loss of Interest: I will state this now. I am not ghosting friendly. I prefer it when my partner communicates about the story rather than leaving me waiting and guessing. I am not a mind reader. If you are having problems with the story, come talk to me so we can either find a way to fix the issue or drop the story if there is no fix. I will remind my partners that it's their turn after a week of no reply, after two weeks, I will ask if everything is okay, and after three weeks, I will drop you. If I'm constantly having to remind you or poke you for you to bring up a problem with my post, then I'll drop our story. Simply put, I will no longer be chasing after partners to post, and if we end on these terms, I will be declining any story offers in the future. (There are a few exceptions to these, but that is up to my discretion.)
  • Break / Real Life Problems: Going hand and hand with the one above, I will respect any breaks people wish to take and be understanding of any real-life issues that come up, making you step away without warning! If you can let me know ahead of time, that is appreciated, but if not and you come back, just let me know you had some issues, and I'll happily continue the RP!
    
• Posting: This is my second most important rule! This goes over my expectations when it comes to posts, since they are the whole reason we are here! I promise you I'm not super strict on any of this, but there are some things to keep in mind!
  • Length: As you can probably tell, I am what many consider a novelist writer. I can write anywhere from two paragraphs to upwards of twenty, depending on the scene. I by no means expect my partner to pump out an absurd amount of paragraphs for a simple conversation, but I do expect to have at least two paragraphs. This is the bare minimum that shows effort being put into the posts. So long as I have something to go off in your posts, I don't mind the length!
  • Frequency: Minimum once a week! My life is a bit chaotic at times, but I get out at the very least one response a week and expect anyone who takes up a story with me to have that as a bare minimum! Life happens, and sometimes we need longer, if so, I will let you know! Most of the time, I can respond once a day to once every other day, depending on real-life factors!
  • Story Building: This one is a rather important one to me, while I love making and directing the way a story goes, I want my partner to also do the same. I DM a lot of games and stories off the site, so I have no problem doing it, but I do enjoy my partner taking control of the story! (This is where communication is key, though!)
  • Grammar, Punctuation, Etc.: I am not the grammar or punctuation policy. I use Grammarly because I come from a rural area where education was not the most important thing in school. I am still learning to this day how to properly write, so please don't think I'm going to mind if you have some issues from time to time. The only time I get a bit particular is when the grammar is so bad I can't understand the sentence, which I have yet to run into on this site. With that being said, please use correct capitalization. It drives me nuts if you forget to capitalize the beginning of a sentence or the letter I when referring to yourself.
  • Third Person: I only write in third person, and will not accept any other types of writing. With this being said, I will warn my partners that I am still struggling to understand the difference between past and present tenses in some parts of my writing. This was actually brought to my attention by a past partner whom I appreciate for making it known! So, forgive me if I make a mistake or switch between the two. I will do my best to pick one or the other!
  • Private Messaging Me: Please put in some effort when messaging me on a story idea or character. I will not reply to people who I feel are not putting in effort to develop a story. I am here to write with my partners and for us both to develop the story together and take turns taking the lead. So please don't message me with "hi" or "want to rp?".
    
• Character: Of course, site rules apply. This does kinda depend on the story we are running, but I do have a few rules for your characters that I won't budge on.
  • Age: The site says above 18, but for my own comfort, please make sure your main character is over 21. I also don't find super old characters attractive. So if your character looks, acts, and sounds like they are an old man, I'm probably not going to be too interested.
  • Race: This is where I might lose some people. I'm very particular with the race of the character; there are many fantasy races I just personally dislike, so I do keep to humans/elves most of the time. I'm open to other suggestions, but once again, I'm very, very picky.
  • Gender: This one is pretty cut and dry. Your main character must be male. I prefer dominant male characters, but it once again depends on the story and pairing!
  • NPCs / Side Characters: Partners must be okay with writing side characters from time to time! They can be whatever you want them to be, no limitation there!
    
• Erotica / Smut: The topic everyone is eager to hear about! I'm not super particular, and I'm pretty open, but I will say I do have some general rules of thumb when writing with me.
  • Smut vs Story: So when it comes to smut, I prefer 20-30% / 80-70% with erotica being the smaller number. I have no problem writing out such scenes, and in some cases, I absolutely love to, but I require it to fit the story. If you give me a story and just out of the blue try to turn it into a fuck fest I will lose interest.
  • Triggers: I enjoy the darker themes of smut, such as non-con, bondage, slave and master, coercion, manipulation, blackmail, torture, etc. (Which is why I prefer partners with no triggers.) Of course, I have regular kinks as well, but those are my more obscene ones.
    
• Miscellaneous:
  • Triggers: I would prefer it if my partners have little to know triggers. I myself have very few triggers. Now, with this being said, I'm not the best at Erotica. I tend to overthink my posts out of fear of being cringy, but could use the practice! When it comes to gore, I have no limit, including torture. If you do have any triggers, please bring them to my attention before we start the story so I know, and if at any point during the story you feel uncomfortable and would like to either steer the story away from something or just fade to black, please let me know! I will do the same with you! Communication is key!
  • And More Triggers: I always like to make double sure we are on the same page. I am a dark fatansy writer. All of my characters come with loads of trauma, mental illnesses, self-harming behaviors, abused/abusive/abuses drugs and alcohol, etc. I tend not to be for the lighthearted who can't handle a whole lot of triggers, so if this is you, I highly suggest scrolling away before going any further!

Now for some of my favorite Genres, which, much like some of my other preferences, I'm very picky on as well.

• Fantasy: Witches, wizards, shapeshifters, Vampires, Werewolves, pirates, assassins, princesses and princes, kings and queens, servants, and much more! Magic all over the place! Give me it all! I believe in open-world concepts in most of my stories, where my partner and I create the rules of the lands together and different things within them. Now, there are some stories where there is a bit of lore already there, but not a whole bunch, and my partner can also expand on it!
  
  
• Romance: An absolute must for all my stories. I lose interest too fast if it's just a straight-up story with no romance! Now, with this being said, I'm a fan of all types of Romance, though I do have a few favorites. Arranged marriages (Or any sort of arranged romance forcing two characters to be together), enemies to lovers, forbidden love, Stockholm syndrome (Yes, that can be a type of love), etc. Dark romances to sum it all up.
  
  
• Modern: I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to modern as I use story writing to escape the real world but depending on the story type I might be open to this. I have been wanting to do a modern-day Cartel/Gang. I also have a modern-day Vampire that I haven't tried much.

More to come!
