Amateur writer in my 60s, avid consumer of urban fantasy, magical realism, crime/police procedurals, and supernatural MxM romance.
Some of my favourite authors, in order of discovery: JRR Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, Guy Gavriel Kay, Naguib Mahfouz, Nathan Burgoine, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, TJ Klune, Naomi Novik, Freya Marske, KD Edwards, Gregory Ashe, KJ Charles, Jordan Hawk, Charlie Adhara.
Among more romance types: Alexis Hall, Casey McQuiston, CS Poe
I am trained as a historian with an interest in spirituality and culture, and this often finds its way into my writing.
I'm looking for writing partners into any of the above, of course, but I am open to other themes or genres to stretch myself a bit. I tend not to plan out a story arc ahead of time, though the world building phase of a conversation is something I enjoy.
It has been a while since I have written with a partner, or at all, and even longer since I've engaged in role-plays, but I am raring to go. My romance writing is MxM and fade to black - I care more about the relationship than the sex. I don't mind writing violence, so long as it is relevant to advancing the story and does not entail over the top gore; but a good fight scene can be really fun to write.
Finally, in a partnership writing setup I tend to write blocks of roughly 300 to 500 words, though I am able to do more or less as required by the story. I will check in likely daily, but may not write more than once or twice a week, always keeping my writing partner updated.
Right now, I have a hankering to write a MxM supernatural romance in the general style of a Wolfsong (Klune) or Widdershins (Hawk) or Tarot Sequence (Edwards).
Also, a high fantasy adventure as a paladin or archer/swordsman in the style of The Lions of Al-Rassan (Guy Gavriel Kay).
Let's connect and talk, see whether we might have something to write together.
