"Do you ever wonder about all the different ways of dying? You know, violently? And wonder, like, what would be the most horrible way to die?"
ABOUT ME Hello, I'm trash.
My username is inspired by the movie The Return of the Living Dead (1985), which I rented on VHS when I was much too young to watch it. And that I rented anything on VHS makes me feel much too old now lol
I'm a millennial, I'm a writer, though not by trade. I've been writing fiction in some way or another since high school but I didn't explore play-by-post until the mid 2010s.
Horror was my earliest obsession, Stephen King novels in the library and video rentals at the local shop with the pervy clerk who let me rent whatever I wanted.
But worry not, it's not just horror I like to write. I'm also pretty stable and friendly on DMs, I'm not nearly as edgy and weird as I was as a teenager lol (Still kinda weird!)
THE BASICS I am more about quality over quantity so I am not strict on post length. Too long can be as difficult to reply to as something that's too short. A happy median, for me, is between 400 and 900 words.
I work full time, my days off change from week to week, and weekends are the hardest to escape to my laptop. So at a minimum, I hope I can reply at least twice a week. If we can't keep this pace it's in both our interest to pause, or try again later.
I write female characters and have personal preference for MxF pairings.
I'm a short story writer so I generally prefer shorter roleplays, one-shots, even single-scene if we're feeling experimental.
Quality over quantity. So even if it's something that's hi-smut that's no excuse for it to be repetitive, or boring to read. I'm a writer first and foremost.
DISLIKES My limits reside mostly in the writing itself rather than the content.
For example, I do not like blackmail as a plot device because it undercuts my character's motivation and transforms this motivation into a too-basic and two-dimensional drive: to not be exposed.
This kills tension instantly, as does any plot that is built around the fear of being exposed.
I'm not typically a fan of fandoms, most fantasy, or big scope sci-fi stuff. I also don't like writing stories involving wealthy characters either for the same reason, I simply can't buy into these worlds. It's not an aversion to fantasy or sci-fi, but prefer grounded settings and setups. I can go more into this over DM.
It's the same reason why I don't really enjoy traditional romance.
LIKES I like exploring characters, their motivations, and, always, tension.
I enjoy writing characters who willingly submit a little bit more than ones who are submissive in general. Though I can do both.
Primarily, the most fun themes to write about are a combination of obsession, degradation, humiliation, and violence.
As you might suspect I have a very high threshold for violence in roleplay and gore, as well as outright graphic sex. We are mostly bound by our imaginations and, most importantly, the site rules.
But it all needs the right context.
If you're looking to ask about specific kinks you can DM me directly, no pressure and no judgement.
A few things I enjoy off the top of my head, not necessarily kinks: I like pairings with a large age gap, obsession/violence masquerading as love and romance, self-destruction, taboo themes, dark themes, tragic outcomes, prostitution...
PLOTS/PAIRINGS (this is a work in progress, I'll add some soon, when I'm ready to get a story going, I just ran out of time!)
