Grit.
Novella Roleplayer
- Your Name: Zero
OCs: I RP Male OCs and am looking for someone who RPs as female~
Timezone: GMT+0 (Active most evenings and weekends, but my schedule can vary. I’ll always let you know if things change.)
Reply Speed: Ehhh~ Generally moderate—expect replies within a day (this is usual lately) to a week, depending on my IRL commitments. I always communicate delays, so there’s no guessing game, and I expect the same. Rapid responses might happen during high-energy brainstorming sessions or lighter interaction scenes!
Average Post Length: I’m lit-to-novella, VERY adaptable and I want my partner to be the same. I can write anywhere from 400 words to 2k+ depending on the context (Lit to Novella - details where it matters, I LOVE the poetic descriptions but as long as the story keeps moving and dialogue). Starters and key plot moments tend to lean longer, while interactions and action sequences may be shorter but still detailed. I love exploring the atmosphere, emotions, worldbuilding, lore, and character motivations in my writing, so you can expect depth even in briefer scenes.
Age Range: 18+ only. I’d prefer to write with those in their 20s or older for maturity and shared storytelling preferences, not anything NSFW.
Also not sure which I prefer yet, but might take the RP to discord for better organisation.

What I’m NOT Looking For (Hard NOs):
- Mary Sues or Perfect OCs: Your OC doesn’t need to be invincible, perfect, or the best at everything. Flaws make characters human (or, well, relatable in their own ways). I LOVE giving characters depth and expect the OCs to have character development throughout the plot. Not too much, not too little.
- Trauma as a Personality: I adore DARK, gritty plots, but trauma should be meaningful not piled on! Like please! Don't give me depressing characters with no substance, and not overly happy either. People aren't ike that. Tie things to the story and character development. I’m not interested in characters who wallow forever, use their trauma for a pity party and expect to be the centre of attention, uGH like that is irritating
- Lopsided Effort: This is a team effort. I expect you to engage and contribute to worldbuilding, lore, and brainstorming! REACT to ideas, EXPAND on them, and SHARE your thoughts and your own! Don’t make me carry the creative weight alone, and if I put effort in, I expect the awareness and reaction. And if you bring the same energy, even better! This goes for rp replies too of course, I want a hype man just as much as I'll be yours. I want to talk about our OCs, gossip and squeal about them! Bring the vibes!
- Love at First Sight: I WOULD DIE for romance, but as a subplot or key theme, and only if it’s a slow burn. If you want instant chemistry or fluffy fairytale romance, then I'm not the partner for you. I want them to suffer, together, fight, have their moments of vulnerability, and be each other's support. So we can cry together as we ship them, lmao
- Unreliable Communication: If you say you’ll reply by a certain time or date, please stick to it or let me know if plans change. Life happens—I get that and I can wait! Just don't leave me hanging. Constant broken promises or disappearing acts without communication erode trust and will make me leave right there.
What I’m Looking For (Must-Haves):
- Tension, Tension, TENSION: I SCREAM AND DIE for dynamics that are emotionally charged. Enemies-to-lovers UGH- chef's kiss., mutual loathing OML, simmering tension ON MY KNEES, and verbal sparring make it all worth the read. Bring me the drama!
- Immersion: Give me vivid, well-thought-out characters and settings. Make me feel like I’m in the world we’re creating together. If you’re someone who loves diving into head-canons, lore, and character motives, we’ll definitely click!
- Emotional Payoff: Fluff is nice, but only in small doses where it truly hits. I want those moments to be earned—a reward for the characters (and us!) after all the tension and growth.
- Active Engagement: I want us both to be excited about this. React to scenes, share your thoughts, and geek out with me! I’ll match your energy and hype, and we can fangirl together over every twist, turn, and heartbreak. Looking for a long-term person who we can catch up every now and then with too.
- Good SPaG: Solid grammar, spelling, and syntax are a must. I want a partner whose writing feels polished but not stiff—someone who can balance creativity with readability.
