Who, me?
I’m a 30-something female, and that’s about as much as I like to say about myself. I like to keep a very firm line between RP and RL, although I still also like to have an OOC conversation alongside RP! I just make sure there’s a clear distinction between “my character” and “me,” and I would want a partner who does the same. The hot stuff is for the characters, while OOC chat is for coordination, banter, memes, even sharing woes about our days if you're so inclined. But if you enjoy working with partners who blur those lines, I'm probably not the partner for you!
My characters can be all over the place, from feisty danger-junkies to cool, collected power-women to the sheltered and demure, almost all of my characters will end up on the submissive side in the bedroom, if you're into defining things that way. I don't always make a point to, but what can I say? It's true in generalizing. That's not to say the ones on the feisty-er side won't have their moments where they throw down and take what they want, though, it just won't be the prevailing dynamic. And, on the other side, even the demure ones have a mind of their own and will be putting it to use, so please don't mistake 'submissive' for 'no agency of their own'. My partner and I will share the responsibility of advancing a story!
On that note, what about you?
When romance is expected in a plot, as I assume it will be here, I’m more comfortable writing with someone who’s closer to my age or older. Man, woman, somewhere in between… that part doesn’t matter, as long as you’re cool with me sticking with what I know and playing female characters.
I tend to be drawn more to powerful male characters--ones with some presence and confidence (and muscles #swoon), but who still aren’t without their own flaws. Flaws and conflict and angst are what make a story really interesting. And at least a little sense of humor, too. If a character takes himself too seriously to the point of being deadpan all the time, it's harder for me to stay engaged.
How are we going to do this?
I love me some writing, but it’s a hobby. I have a very full real life outside of my keyboard, so I can’t always respond as much as I might like to. That doesn’t mean I won’t get to it--just that I like to keep a lowkey pace to things, and you probably shouldn’t initiate something with me if you like constant rapid fire responses. On particularly busy days or weekends, it might take me a day or two before I get back to something. Then again, I DO have days where I’ll respond right away more than once. If you’re willing to be flexible with me, I’m certainly prepared to do the same for you.
I prefer RP by PM here or email, though I'm willing to work out other options for the right plot if I need to. I'm least likely to bend for RPing on Discord.
Can we get to the good stuff already?
If you come at me with a plot you’ve been itching to do, there’s a good chance I’ll bite. I'll even collaborate! I love the back-and-forth of setting up a story with a person. But that’s a key thing… plot. The smutty stuff is key in its own right, and I expect it to play a big role, but I can’t maintain it on its own. I’ll be much more invested if there’s a solid story to carry it through; my characters need motives and interests and nuance to fuel their sex drives.
Unless I'm really in the mood for it, porno plots don't count. If the story thread is, "the repair man let himself into the wrong apartment and, oh no! That nubile, busty college chick is in the middle of trying out her new vibrator. But the batteries just died..." I'm probably* not going to bite. Figuratively or literally.
*(Probably, for real, because sometimes I really am in the mood for something quick and dirty!)
