Hi there to whoever is reading this! 
I’m currently deep in my Quotev nostalgia era and looking for a roleplay partner interested in a long-term, slow-burn The Selection AU.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, feel free to message me with any ideas you have.
I’m currently deep in my Quotev nostalgia era and looking for a roleplay partner interested in a long-term, slow-burn The Selection AU.
My only preference for roleplay partners is that I would prefer anyone roleplaying with me to be in the age bracket of 20-26.
So far, I only have one OC, in my oc form thread. My one form-written OC is Ide O'Rinn, who is a shopkeeper, seamstress, and roaring 20's fanatic who is 6'5 in heels and takes no shit whilst also looking pretty. She will be mentioned in this post later below in my potential roleplay concepts.
Currently, I'm only active on here an hour maximum because I am writing up OC forms. However, if I were to be messaging / plotting about roleplaying or roleplaying I would probably be easiest to catch active on the weekends from 6-10pm BST time zone. If I'm not active for a day or three (or even a week), please bear with me, as I am a uni student and I'll either be prioritising my workload, reading with a cup of tea, or socialising with my friends.
I range from 500 to lower 1k words. I would be looking for a roleplay partner who can match my freak (wordcount). However, I must admit, it does depend day to day - although, I will make the effort to stick to whatever rough word count my roleplay partner is doing so that the effort isn't one sided.
- A male character that is interesting, well-rounded and, possibly, willing to be carried off into the sunset eventually by his future tall wife (half-joking)
- The Selection AU - potentially set within Illea (aka futuristic, dystopian America) itself, or a unique fictional world of our own making.
- Slow burn romance, emotional development, possible political intrigue - although, overall, I am looking for something full of escapism.
- Long-term storytelling with plotting and possible character growth
YC (your character) is the crown prince to a kingdom that is hosting a nation-wide competition called the Selection for YC's hand in marriage from the non-royals (from commoner's to nobles) of the kingdom. This Selection could potentially be against their will - enforced by their royal parent(s) or enforced by how they are unmarried still at their age of '2_' (which is a high pressure in a royal family)
MC (my character, potentially Ide O'Rinn) is one of those chosen from the applications sent to the royal palace. Her reason for joining the Selection is not for love, but because money is sent back home to her great-aunt weekly by the royal family to aide in Ide not putting bread on the table whilst she's in the royal palace over her stay. As a Six, every penny counts for their small family. MC is unusual and unwantingly stands out compared to the other Selected due to her height and preferred style of self-made, period clothing.
And also... MC could always be an unlikely rebel-sympathiser under her finger-waved bob wig?
And between YC and MC, they form an unusual bond that turns into a friendship.

YC is still a crown prince, however, during the Selection's process, it is one of the many new seamstresses that was hired for the 35 Selected women that grabs his attention (MC, Ide O'Rinn).
- The dystopian elements of The Selection that were mostly brushed over for romance (e.g. the numbered caste system limiting people's day to day lives, the pollution affecting people's health - as seen through side characters)
- Court politics potentially?
- Forbidden or complicated romance - e.g. a socially forbidden romance (a seamstress (MC) x Prince (YC))
- Characters who don’t expect to fall in love
