Hi there, I'm nightingale. I've been on the site for a couple of years, and am currently looking to open up my writing roster. A little bit about me: I've been roleplaying for over ten years and telling stories for as long as I can remember. My writing style probably lends more to novel-writing so I tend to pair best with role-players who also like to world build, add in side-characters and develop a plot that goes beyond an initial one x one pairing. I'm online quite a bit, so am usually able to reply a couple of times a week. However, I'm happy to pair with people who reply less or more than that assuming they understand my personal limits. Roleplaying for me is a fun way to write without conforming to a strict plan and it allows me to explore themes that are a lot darker or more out there than those I usually write. I'm also UK based but timezones don't tend to bother me, and I actually prefer them sometimes as it means I often wake up to replies!
What I'm looking for (...and I'm sorry but I am picky)
β’ A long term partner, who is interested in writing dark, intriguing themes, building a world and crafting a narrative that feels authentic. I don't like surface level relationships, insta-love or worlds that feel empty beyond our two characters. I like romance that feels earned (unless it's already established etc...) and love characters that are multifaceted, conflicted and don't just think with their respective sex organs. With that said, I enjoy writing smut and will lean in when the story calls for it - consensually or otherwise. But I won't romanticise the latter. I write very close to my characters and will explore their trauma to full effect. Essentially, I want compelling, realistic, grounded writing but also high concept. (...as I said...picky)
β’ When it comes to posting, I quite often kick off my rps with around 1500+ words. Please don't let this put you off, I like to use my early posts to establish characters, background and throw in some world-building. My usual posts are around 1000-1500 words, but I'd be happy to write with a partner who sits around the 500+ mark. I'm someone that appreciates quality over quantity, so as long as your post adds to the narrative and gives me something to work with, I'm happy! I write in British English, though will always make an effort to incorporate alternative spellings if the rp is set elsewhere. Samples of my writing can be found here, and if you're interested in writing together I'd like to ask that you send me through a sample too.
β’ I do appreciate OOC chat as a way to establish plot points and talk about our characters. It's not a must, but I do like to run ideas by partners and sometimes even offer up plans for down the line. Happy to do this on here or on Discord.
Would we be a good match?
β’ As above, I'm looking to dive into darker themes. Current genres I'm interested in writing in are dystopian, apocalyptic, neo-noir etc... My favourite characters to write are strong women who are broken down, again and again, and then slowly built back up. Now this doesn't mean pages and pages of torture porn, but it's about creating a world where those dangers feel like a possibility. I want the harrowing chases through the wasteland, fights with realistic injuries and outcomes, broken people doing awful things to each other to survive.
β’ My main characters are always female, but I'll write side characters of any gender. I always say you're free to kill or control anyone that isn't my main girl. And by that, I mean you can do whatever you want to her, just let me be the one to write what's happening in her head. I write in third person past tense only and I'd like to ask you do that same.
β’ I use writing as a form of escapism so I like things that are a little more out there world-building wise. That's not to say I won't do slice of life, but the idea of writing a very normal 'day-to-day' story just doesn't draw any interest for me. High class dalliances, mafia plot points or dangerous journalistic endeavours are more my thing if we're writing in the real world.
Loves to write: captivating characters, exciting plot lines, violence, jealousy, high-stakes, well-earned romance, action scenes
Won't write: scat, vore, pregnancy, sentient aliens or animals,

Set in the fictional renaissance-esque Kingdom of Lantica, Violent Delights is an enemies to lovers romance which centres around my character Adela and her male-assassin equivalent. Raised within the walls of the White Rose Guild, both assassins have been trained from childhood by their fearsome Guildmaster. The story introduces them in their early twenties as nothing more than two soldiers with a common goal, but as the roleplay progresses we'll see a closeness develop between them. Through fight sequences, assassination plots and deadly masquerades a romance will flourish. But secrecy and betrayal threaten to tear them apart. For years Adela has kept quiet about the abuse she's endured at the hands of the Guildmaster, but there is only so much she can bear. When it all comes to a head will her male lover side with her, or will he be the one to bring her down? Seeking: Male assassin, 20s. Guildmaster, late 40s.
So that's about it for me, please do message if you have any plots you think might suit me or there's any of mine you'd like to try out. Always happy to receive a dm, so if you have any questions or you're not sure, don't hesitate to ask!
