Welcome to Hogwarts.
The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses.
The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts.

PART I : A BRIEF INTRODUCTION.​

Greetings and salutations ! You may call me Lotus, Levi or Sandal. I've been a member of the Inner Sanctum for a little over two years, but I wasn't always active. Nowadays, this is the only website I use frequently for roleplaying purposes, so there's no worry about me disappearing without a word. If I do need to take a break, for whatever reason, a hiatus will be announced and I will tag my writing partners, so they're aware that I'm not going to be replying for whatever amount of time is necessary. With that aside, I'm a 28-year-old, transmasc writer and my pronouns are he / they. I have more than fifteen years of experience in the roleplaying scene and I'd consider myself advanced / literate, in terms of my writing. That being said, I'm not some kind of writing expert or a professional author, so mistakes may be present in my writing and I won't ever make someone else feel bad for making mistakes in their own writing. I'm a huge fan of writing fandom-related content, but I also write original characters and settings, where applicable.

​

PART II : WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

​

My brain suddenly decided that it wants some Harry Potter content, which is why I'm making this request. I'm looking to write a romantic story within the Harry Potter universe. Preferrably within the castle, but if our characters ( or one of them ) aren't students or teachers, we can also set the story in another part of the Harry Potter universe. A QUICK DISCLAIMER HERE, that due to the books themselves focusing on underage characters, changes will be made to the world, in order to ensure our characters are adults at all times and as per Sanctum's TOS. I generally prefer MxM dynamics, but I might agree to write MxF, provided I get to write the female counterpart. I rarely write MxF as the male counterpart and if I do, it'll be with very specific writers that I feel very comfortable around. I'm not against FxF dynamics, but they're generally not preferred. I'm open to CC x CC, CC x OC and OC x OC, but I generally prefer if one of us is writing a Canon character.



Characters I'm looking to write against : Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy

* this is not definitive ; I'm open to discussing other characters I may like.



Characters I have experience in writing : Bellatrix Lestrange, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Severus Snape ( whether male or genderbent ), Aurora Sinistra ( an old muse, more like an OC due to the limited information we have on her ), Lily Evans, Cho Chang, original characters ( male or female )

* again not definitive ; feel free to suggest male or female characters you'd like to see and I'll let you know if I think I can portray them.



PS. Some of my characters ; especially OC's, are genderfluid or transgender. If you think trans characters are a turn off, we won't get along. If you simply prefer cisgender characters, we may be able to discuss something, depending on how this preference is treated. There's a respectful way of saying that you feel more comfortable with cisgender characters.

​

PART III : WRITING TIME.

​

We all get a little picky when it comes to taking up a new story, so I'm going to list a few preferences, or requirements for whoever may be interested in applying for this universe.

• I write in third person and past tense and I want my writing partner to be able to do the same. I don't feel comfortable with self-inserting, or writing in first / second person. You may use present tense if you want, but I'll probably forget to match that because I'm used to past tense.
• Although I support quality over quantity, I'd rather not receive replies shorter than 250 words. Very short replies and one-liners don't give me much to work with and generally kill the mood, so try to at least send me 250 words per post. I can write up to 1000 words, where applicable.
• Paragraph format only. I won't do script writing.
• I try to post replies once a week. Maybe twice, if I'm not very busy. I don't require my partners to match my speed, as long as you understand that I also need my time to write down each reply. I refuse to send back something quick and half-assed. It's not fair to either of us.
• I generally write submissive muses, but I can write switches or dominant characters, depending on the dynamic we've chosen. This mostly applies to MxM, though. If we write FxF, I'll likely let you take the reigns because I'm not experienced in FxF pairings.
• Although I want smut to be present in the roleplay, it won't be the focal point of the story. We can write it as frequently as it arises, but I do want there to be some story progression inbetween.
• I love angst, hurt, comfort and any theme that can make me cry during the roleplay. We will find a way to balance romance and angst, so it doesn't get tiring or repetitive.
• Professor x Professor is a dynamic i really enjoy.
• Professor x Student is fine, but the student will be 21+ and I prefer to be writing the student, but it's not mandatory.

​

PART IV : KINKS & LIMITS.

​

I'm generally open-minded and willing to discuss your kinks and how to implement them in the roleplay. I'm quite vanilla and don't have many kinks of my own that are worth mentioning, aside from hair pulling and biting / scratching, I guess. Other than that, I just go with the flow and try to satisfy your kinks during the smut scenes. I do like smut scenes that are detailed and drawn out and I have no preference as to whether you use more vulgar or more " refined " vocabulary to describe the scene. I will simply match your choice on that one.



I do have quite a few limits, that I won't roleplay and I won't even agree to discuss, because I'm simply uncomfortable with them.

• Ageplay
• Rape / Noncon
• Toilet fetishes ( such as piss, scat, etc. )
• Feet or armpits
• General lack of hygiene
• Hypnosis
• Furries or beastiality of any kind
• Raceplay / BBC

If you have a kink or limit that isn't mentioned here and you're unsure about, do message me about it first and I'll let you know what I think about it and whether I feel comfortable writing it or not.

​

PART V : EXTRAS.

​

I generally suck at coming up with plots prior to discussing with a writing partner, so I usually leave the plot options open for you to either hit me with something you've been craving, or come in just as empty handed and we can craft something in the process. I only have one story in mind at the moment, which is also rather cheesy, but I'll list it here anyway.

Spoiler: Snape x OC

MC is the new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher, who has just been hired by Professor Dumbledore to fill in the missing post. They're a sweet foreigner, who gets along with all of their colleagues, except Severus Snape, who's as bitter as ever for not getting the position. MC, who doesn't know about Snape's vendetta with DADA professors, tries to approach him with a bottle of Fire Whiskey, or liquor from their homeland. Snape begrudgingly agrees to have a drink and the two start talking. One glass becomes two, then three, and they end up sleeping together. The next morning, Snape is gone without so much as a word or a note. MC is confused about their relationship now. Especially, because snape is giving them the cold shoulder. Even after what went down between them.

Hopefully, I've included all the information necessary here, but if you have questions, my inbox is open.

Happy writing !​
