!! please don't post in this thread;
feel free to reach out to me in my pms !!
- sophocles, (she/her), also known as soph. iโm twenty-five years old, an architect by trade, and a writer at heart. little bit about me, my hobbies include video games, bullet journaling, crocheting, and daydreaming!
i'm in the central timezone and will be most active during the night hours on weekdaysโ specifically six pm to eleven pm on weekdays, at least for detailed replies. weekends are free real estate. i also will not be free at all hours of the day to chat ooc, so please donโt expect constant communication! i will respond when i can, so please donโt spam just to get an answer from me. i also tend to disappear quite often, so please bear with me in my absences.
speaking of chatting, i am a very big fan! in order for us to bond as writers, we will need to form a comfortable relationship outside the story. i'm free to message in my private messages or over discord, whichever you prefer. i also enjoy peppering my partners with headcanons, moodboards, and playlists!
i have about ten years of writing & roleplay experience. my post lengths are on average around 500 words , while my starters range from 700 - 1000+ words. i will also try match my partner with whatever they are comfortable with doing. however, it really just depends on the pace. if the muse is there, quick, shorter posts may be the way to go! quality over quantity, especially to avoid burnout (from which i suffer constantly). it will be a learning process.
i write in third person, past tense, with plenty of description and detail. my style is flowery and fluffy in nature with an emphasis on inner dialogue. writing samples can be found here.
Other - sophoclesโ writing samples
i'monlytypically an original character writer. please do not ask me to write canons for any of my inspirations; i'm not interested, unless otherwise specified. my general interest lies with oc x oc pairings in original or fandom-inspired universes.
romance is the secondary plotline. i have no issue developing a romance between characters! however, i donโt enjoy putting a plot together just for the end goal to be a romance. i need some more meat on my bones.
that being said, iโm comfortable with all pairings and sexualities, so please don't be scared to be open with me. my own preference is writing male characters (those early years of no one wanting to write guys really shaped me), but i'm not opposed to write for women at all! it really just depends on the vibes.
- being over the age of 21 long story short, iโm old(ish). i would just rather partner up with someone closer to my own age.
bringing content to the table i may have ideas to start us off with, but i expect some help with the twists and turns! i thrive off collaborations, so please be ready to contribute!
world building my writing style is not always monogamous to a single pair of characters. iโd love to create a diverse group of secondary cast, as well as a rich landscape for the story to take place. no doubling involved or required; i just wish to construct a three-dimensional world that's meaningful, full of life and wonderโ and i would love a partner that feels the same!
content knowledge not required i understand that my inspirations tend to focus in the realm of universes that arenโt incredibly popular. however, iโm not looking for lore experts! if you find yourself drawn to a plot in a universe youโre unfamiliar with, please donโt let that limit you! i am here to spread knowledge and perhaps create a few new fans in the process.
commitment if you donโt have the time or the energy to be in this for the long haul, thatโs totally okay! that just means that what iโm looking for is probably not for you.
non-consistent post timeline i cannot promise consistency, unfortunately. work comes and goes for me. iโm also currently studying for the professional engineering exam at the moment. i'm averaging about one post every two weeks; at worst, one post a month. however, i will usually be free to chat and talk shop, so this only applies to canonical writing. i understand thatโs no ideal for everyone and i respect that!
semi-literate to literate content no one-liners or horrid grammar welcome. give me multiple paragraphs or give me death, please. i'm not looking for a saga, just someone who is comfortable matching my own length.
ghost friendy life gets busy; thatโs one thing i completely understand! if you no longer have the time, energy, or muse to continue, i have no issue with being ghosted. i suffer from burnout due to work from time to time, so itโs very likely i will need to take a step back every so often. of course, i will do my best to keep you aware of my intentions!
