Hi there!
I'm an avid roleplayer from Eastern Europe. I've been doing it for a long time, not sure how long exactly. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at writing, and I'm looking for long term writing partners for long term stories. I'd like to give you some information so you know right away if we're compatible.
1. Writing medium. I always preferred IM services. Currently using Discord. PMs, E-mail and Google Docs never do it for me for a few reasons, mainly because I also talk with my writing partners a lot outside writing. I'm not here to make passes at someone IRL, if that's what you're wondering. Give me a chance, and we can become pals.
2. Post length. I don't do one-liners. Hell, I don't do four-liners either. It's anywhere between a couple paragraphs and a fairly big piece, but usually 3-4 paragraphs is my average. I'm good at adjusting to your post length. Don't need 1000 word replies for the sake of it, either - I'd much rather have zero fat and a short reply than a dragged-out, over-padded essay.
3. Timezones. They're a factor with me. Take into account that I'm in Eastern Europe - I always write and I am a night owl, and I'll always take a minute to at least get back to you, but timezones are still a thing.
4. Plot vs Smut. I've got a story written with someone that's almost 100k words long. There's not a single smut scene in there. Smut is great, but it's definitely not essential. 80vs20 percent, 70vs30 at most. I'm much more interested in stories and human relationships and emotions.
5. It should go without saying that I don't disappear without a word and I'd like to receive the same treatment. I love feedback and criticism, and I believe in fixing standing issues instead of breaking up a good writing partnership. Talk to me.
If I managed to keep you here this far, I'm looking to write some maximum grit, semi-true-to-life medieval stories about outlaws.
In the medieval times, it was extremely hard to survive outside the law, and while in almost ANY fantasy setting the heroes may go through some forest bandits and highway brigands on their merry adventure, they're rarely the focus of a tale.
So, that's what I want to write about. A long term, slow and steady rise-to-power kind of scenario, maybe as far as starting out as a lowly gang of youngsters and growing into a sprawling forest brotherhood, the terror of the tax collector. Bandits are by definition amoral and villainous, but ultimately they are people, and I want to give them a voice and a story.
I'd like to put an emphasis on the "grit" aspect of what I'm looking to write. Yes, I want the world to be a harsh, unforgiving and very dangerous place. No, it's not a crapsack world where a sip of river water gives you 20 deadly diseases and the streets perpetually smell of blood and feces. It's probably going to get very graphic with combat though. I practice HEMA as a hobby and I know for a fact that medieval combat is really, REALLY ugly business.
If you're still here, I'll try and pitch this to you as well - for that extra spice in combat scenes, we could definitely add simple dice rolls to give an element of chance and tension to our actions. I've never done that for RP before, and I'm kind of eager to try. Totally optional, though.
Hit me up with a PM if you're interested, let's bounce some stuff off of eachother, and we'll exchange contact info there.
Much love.
