doing ok, cowboy?
it's that time of year again!! i'm done with uni for the year and i want to write. the majority of my ideas involve romance, but generally as a natural undercurrent to a wider plot. scroll down for oc ideas & fandoms :~)
INFO
• 18+ only; i'm 22, i don't rp with minors
• if you have a writing sample or some threads i can look at that'd be grand but it's not a dealbreaker!
• i reply pretty sporadically; i'm a full-time student with a part-time job and a lot of anxiety. i reply when i have the energy & inspiration, so i might manage three replies on a good day but then take a couple of weeks to write one. RP is a hobby, not a job, and sometimes i just don't feel like it -- pressure sucks the fun out of it, so please be patient & i'll do the same for you! i will let you know if i'll be absent more than a week.
• length of replies varies depending on the scene but expect at least ~300 words, up to 1k for intros/establishing posts
• third person past tense, please
• i’m happy to write here or via email; IMs for ooc only, sorry
• mainly m/m, also up for f/f, nb/nb
• importantly - please be willing to communicate & develop the plot along with me. my longest-lasting RPs have been kept alive through good communication & mutual interest. i'm happy chatting ooc too! and i can usually be active ooc even when i'm not able to write replies.
TROPES I LOVE (applicable to p much everything)
meet ugly, meet cute, hurt/comfort, recovery, slow burn, rustic domesticity, survivalism, pining, love-hate, friends/enemies-to-lovers, homosocial affection
OC IDEAS (i'll add to this as more come to me lol)
historical:
- i don't have a specific plot here, but some religious/political drama/mystery with a complex, forbidden romance unfurling underneath, perhaps? or maybe something domestic with a couple of guys just trying to keep their smallholding running. my area of study & thus the setting i feel most comfortable in is about 1250-1700, specifically scotland, but i'm willing to branch out! i'd also be up for some low fantasy elements.
modern:
- a personal protection officer/bodyguard & the politician/celebrity/person of interest they're assigned to protect. maybe they have to go on the run; maybe they have to spend an extended period of time stuck in a safe room together. whatever the ins & outs, this is a dynamic i cannot get enough of. (why yes i have just binge watched 'bodyguard' what gave it away)
- a professional assassin has been getting a little too cocky and can't be trusted to work alone anymore. they can't stand the partner their handler assigns them for their next job.
misc.:
- someone accidentally unearths a buried vampire/undead and has to deal with That. what were they digging for anyway? landscaping? gardening? burying a pet? or something more sinister?
