Oh… hello. Didn't see you there.

You can call me Olli.

I'm a thirty-something working professional with a long-standing passion for collaborative storytelling and roleplay. I've been writing for decades now, having got my start all the way back in the early aughts in early chat rooms, from which I graduated to forums and other formats. I favour writing in third person past tense multi-paragraph, with a focus on emotional nuance, clear and consistent character voice, and a strong sense of tone.

This is my primary hobby, and I do my best to post daily—at least one solid reply per partner, often more if the rhythm is right and we're both around. That said, real life comes first, always. No pressure if your pace varies.

I've amassed quite a few writing samples across the various genres that I enjoy—historical drama, vampires, modern mob stories, fantasy, sci-fi and even superhero stories. If you're after something specific, just ask. I'm usually happy to write something on the fly if you've got a concept and want to see how I'd approach it.

Whilst I'm willing to write just about any sort of character, I am at my best when writing strong, masculine characters. I hope it doesn't come off as bragging when I say I've got a solid grasp on how to depict men with their various idiosyncrasies and ways of thinking. If you've ever been craving for someone who can write a strong, believable male character that'll put your character—male or female—through the paces you may have found him!

If any of this sparks your interest, drop me a line. The chair's warm, the whisky's poured, and there's always room for another story in my life. This goes double if you too are interested in writing some Sword and Sorcery-type stories at the moment. I've got various ideas rolling through my head. Those can best be summed up as my being interested in writing a character in the vein of Conan the Barbarian or Elric of Melniboné for a suitable partner. Alternatively something set in the Forgotten Realms.

Look forward to seeing what we could come up with together!

** WELCOME TO THE SITE! **

Huzzah for fantasy and dnd! You'll find many here looking for what you are offering, so take a spin through the request threads or drop one of your own to get the thirsty eyes on your own ideas.

We also have a shared setting, The Outer Sanctum that is primarily fantasy based with some exceptions that you can look at as well.

If you come across any questions as you explore the site, there are always some friendly faces in chat that can help!
 
Welcome to the Inner Sanctum! Do you have any solo work? I'd love to read some of your writing.
Thank you! And gosh... good question. I do most likely have some fanfiction lingering in the distant reaches of the internet, but they'd be badly out of date at this point so I'm not even going to look for them. That being said each of my advertisements does contain at least a single snippet of writing that could possibly serve as a starter that should give people a decent idea of what I'm about.
 
Welcome to Inner Sanctum, New Blood!


First and foremost; it's nice to meet you! Welcome to our home! If you haven't already, please make sure you read your welcome letter in the top right! It should be the little icon! That's where all of your future messages will end up!

( There's multiple pages to this; just click/tap the arrows! )​




Second! I bet you're wondering how to start Role Playing and where to go! I think it's pretty fun to explore the forums, and I highly recommend doing so! Most thread homes, if not all, have a pinned post at the top of them to tell you what goes there!

However, the Request Threads are pretty self explanatory; Here's a Link! There's plenty to look through, but you could also build your very own! Tell people what you're all about and get those writing partners! Take your time though; there's never any pressure! If you were looking for an open story you can just jump in straight away, you can find them in Unfinished Tales!




Next, I've created A Sanctum Tour to help find a lot of cool places on site! There's plenty to do while waiting on replies or to give yourself a break every now and then! But, these are some of my favorites! The first shout out goes to The Sanctum Tavern! Here you can find many a thing! By the Hearth can be found there and has many wonderful discussions; my personal favorite is where everyone talks up their writing partners! Want to see some cute pets or share your own? Pets of the Sanctum is where to go! Feeling up for a challenge? Check out the Monthly Writing Challenge and give it a whirl!

And, there's so so so~ much more! Please take the time to explore!​




I think that's everything... Oh! I'm Mio, by the way! Just a friendly changeling and hydration bot! You can find me and several others in Sanctum's Chat Room! If you have any questions, you can always pop in there for help! I will say though, the best people to ask are staff! Green Names are Heralds and Hot Pink Names are Virtuosos which are the best to ask questions! Blue Names are Moderators and Purple Names are the Administrators, which help with tech support and discipline! You can find out which are online via the home page! On PC it'll be to the right of the screen, and on mobile it'll be near the bottom!

Now, get out there and write! May your muses sing for you!​


 
Thank you all for the warm welcome. Now that my first ad is out, I'll get to combing through others. Excited to discover all this site has to offer!
