MxF Short Stories for Trying Times

[WriteAngry]

Hi, this thread is about writing short stories together.

I'm all about writing stories. I want to write the breathless, anxious, spiteful, greedy, wrathful, what-not-lustful, cheerful, indecisive, uncommitted, yet near fatally addictive stories of wizards, mages, the drow, vicious and wrathful women, greedy men, hapless monsters, spies, and other such curious things in preferably fictional yet sensible settings.

I have tons of ships regarding ships, fantasies about fantastical beings and phantasmic villains, and puns for all ovens. My favorite genres are the classical medieval fantasy and sci-fi, but I also write historical settings (more or/and less periodically accurate!) and modern settings. When it comes to modern settings my favorites are mysteries, noir coppers, crooked agents, old amateur boxers with borrowed teeth. I've got a few plot bunnies for some modern stories too.

I'm a +35 year old chap from the Nordics with years of playing - and writing - experience under my belt, and I can offer you;

• Overtly Original and Custom Made Stories™ with loose enough frames to fit into.
• Few posts a week to one post a week - no guarantees, though!
• Advanced illiteracy? I'm clunky, and my sentences wiggle and clatter from all the wrong places.
• I'm chronically rusted
• I'm getting acutely desperate
• a no commitments required whatsoever.
• 100% spook friendly, comeback friendly.
• I can carry myself story-wise, and all the additional luggage or baggage too.
• M/F, F/F, F/M.
• All plot-dishes include side-characters in all sizes, roles, and genders.
• Steamy hotness when necessary!
• Dry humor even when not.
• Nearly unlimited patience.

Please be in your -ties or -twies. No -teens, unless you're exceptionally desperate and wonderfully bright.

I'd really love to write out something fantastical, but something with clear frames on it. Like the protagonist reaches for a town just across the river but somehow can't cross.
Wait, no, stop, I said wait! It isn't that simple!- imagine - two characters divided by a narrow river and an obscure plot on why the other can't cross - or no - the other trying to persuade the other character into the water! And they'd had cross for miles for the bridge!)

Let's mesh something up!


Shiny, shiny new things.

• Roll, stroll by the river, troll. (water nymph x traveller [nymph x monster?] I can play any)
• Read Me [A cursed book x Magic User] (Prefer book, can do any)
• Lucky Charm [80's modern FBI Agent vs. Small town Cop]
• Village [Post-Apocalyptic community]

Quick-Menu: (all of these have plots, just ask!)

• Fantasorientesque! Oasis(es?)'! Waterholes! Scarfed faces!
• Anything with wizards!
• Low fantasy, too!
• Crusade-era, the lovely 1148 and afterwards! The Levant, El Eddan Edera, Caliphs, Sultans, Emirs, Crusaders! The French! The Levant twice!
• A Dark Prince From the Lesser Planes x A "princess".
• True Angels bringing the True Gospel to modern men.
• Witch x Werewolf
• King x Lesser Royalty
• Drow Cleric x Drow Mage | Looking for either
• Efreeti x Scallywag | Looking for either
• Benefactress x A captured warrior | Looking for either * (Sci-Fi preferably)
• Totally not treacherous and certainly not a necromancer x Treasure Hunter (HoMM3 - Crag Hagg vibes) | We're gonna need someone to fetch something, no biggie no smalls, totally worth the price.

Or something completely different.

Because you got to the very end of this, let me indulge you with a dwarf joke:
How do humans distinguish dwarf jokes from elf jokes? They're short.
oh come on, that was a good one!

I'm searching a partner to play out some of my more (or less) complex ideas from my graveyard of stories;

Princes, Slaves, and all kinds of knaves:
A cruise ship is nearing the port of the feudalistic state of Am Hadadra ruled by a ruthless sultan. Am Hadra is a closed country but for the wealthy passengers it has finally opened it's arms. A state rich in history, sand, heat, tradition, and slaves is churning in between the great turmoil of the first world war, greets with open the flock of future wealth; the cruise ship is packed with investors, adventure capitalists, politicians, lawyers, doctors - in short: future and prosperity of any stagnant periphery.
Little does Am Hadadra and its feudal rule realize that the ship also carries a bunch of idealistic anarchists armed with pamphlets and letters weighed by new state-of-the-art Ottoman rifles and enough ammunition to set all the traditions ablaze.

Revolution is coming to Am Hadadra.

Multiple characters, preferably two: one of the upper class passengers and one of the revolutionaries.
Two stories which we try to bind together.
Let's say, if there would be a default, the pairings would be a doctor x an adventurous heir of a British Tobacco Company / A spanish young anarchist vs a Polish writer (like Hemingway, right? Right?)
