Syrli
basically a lemon
Hello hello! I am a uni student from Europe looking for new writing partners! I'll try to keep things short and sweet, as I am not overly picky about writing preferences and I much prefer to start off with a pretty basic idea for a plot, and then develop it into something greater together. But, let's start with a list with some basic stuff about me as a writer and my general preferences:
- I am personally most comfortable writing female characters, which is why I'd in most cases prefer my main character to be female. If I get the opportunity I will definitely try to add at least a few well-developed side characters with a healthy mix of genders though!
- My post length tends to vary a lot, but for most RPs they should be around 400-1000 words. What you gain in length you might lose in frequency, and vice versa. Other than that I usually try to match my partner.
- On the topic of frequency; I'd probably say that my sweet spot would be to get 2-3 posts a week from my partner, but I am not very picky. I'd be completely fine with a slower or a faster tempo, but I think I'd have some trouble keeping up with daily posts in the long term.
- I'd love to OOC chat! Preferably on discord! I'd be up to talk about anything from brainstorming plot ideas to sharing inspiration or exchanging memes. I do occasionally create art and playlists inspired by characters or RPs, so at the very least I hope you won't mind me sharing those!
- I write in third person, past tense. This is a fairly strict preference.
- Only 18+ partners, please. This is also a fairly strict preference.
- Somewhere in the past, an arranged royal marriage is about to take place. However, on the wedding night one of the spouses will murder the other (C1), which will trigger the downfall of their kingdom, and with it the loss of lives, great treasures and knowledge that would otherwise live to see the future. A time traveler (C2) has come on an undercover mission to try to prevent this from happening.
A time traveler (C1) who is extensively prepared and dressed for a journey to a particular time and place in history, ends up by mistake in a completely different era/location, and will have to try to improvise until they figure out a way to return.
A time traveler (C1) is on a mission to somewhere in the past, but not everything seems to be quite as the history books described [!] - (My main idea for this type of setting is primarily what I'd describe as Southern Gothic, namely set in the American south early 20th century, filled with blues, booze and perhaps some cultish vibes, but I think it could potentially work equally well in an old west setting)
To a wretched town comes a newcomer (C1) trying to do some good for the community, while others (C2) have a certain interest in trying to prevent that from happening [!]
(This next one might do better with a classic cowboy/old west setting however, but I'm always flexible!)
A criminal (C1) has set their aim to rob a transport of valuables, but unexpectedly finds a prisoner (C2) among the wares instead. - Bookish scholar (C1) recruits an ex-adventurer (C2) to guide them on an adventure to find a legendary artifact.
A rugged adventurer (C1) recruits a bookish scholar (C2) to help them find a legendary artifact.
Historical exploration! (Preferably with some kind of twist/"AU" sort of deal) [!]
Space exploration!
(For any of these ideas, I'd like to have a pretty big character focus, not just on the main characters but also on a well-developed and fun crew, if it suits the plot!) - Feel free to pitch your own ideas! Here are some genres/settings/themes that I'm generally always interested in for inspiration;
- Historical settings
- Mythology/Folklore
- Crime/Mafia/Police/Detective/Bounty hunting
- Scrappy space settings
- Forbidden magic
- ...And more!
