Debacle
Writer of Words, Maker of Things
I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave.

I’m looking for ‘The One’. That partner I just click with. Amazingly, we like the same sort of stories. We both love fantasy and adventure and heartache and witty dialogue. We both think a roleplay is most fun when there’s tension in every. Single. Damn. Post. We both love creating characters who are believable even when they’re like no one we’ve ever met; who are compelling and complicated, yet there’s a consistent reasoning to the things they do and say; who might be so deeply flawed they seem unsalvageable at first, but oh, just wait and see. I’m looking for a partner who thinks a character's motivation is a key part of plot, and without it, you’ve really just got a setting. Who knows it’s not about word-count, it’s about substance, god-damnit, and you left that one-liner that one time, but it was profound, and I pondered it for days.
Where are you?
Let’s write a story. I don’t know what it’s about yet. Maybe you don’t either, but we’ll bounce ideas off one another till there’s a spark, and then there’s a fire, and it’s burning us down unless we write it.

*There are some fantastic young roleplayers on this site, but I'd prefer partners that are at least in their twenties. I am 32.
*Regarding post length: my replies average 3 to 6 paragraphs, with few that are less and a fair amount that are more. I will always give something to respond to and ask for the same. No need for a wall of text every reply; just keep the story going.
*I'm looking for a partner who will truly collaborate and work with me on actively progressing the story.
*Please be able to reply, on average, at least a couple of times a week. I can reply at least once most days.
*I'm not interested in doubling, but I will happily write a male or female character. It's a pet peeve of mine when I see roleplayers say that they will only write female main characters, so if that's you, we may not be a good match.
*Open to MxF or FxF.
*Life happens. If you disappear out of the blue and then reappear a month later, I certainly will not hold it against you.
