Letters to Co-Writers

[Cat]

Welcome to Letters to Co-Writers !
A space to celebrate the people who make writing magic with us.

This thread is a little corner of kindness—a place where you can pour your heart out and share positive thoughts, memories, and shoutouts to your current or past roleplay partners. Whether they wowed you with beautiful prose, made you feel safe and seen, or just brought joy to your writing experience, here's where you can let them (and the community) know how much they mattered.

A few important guidelines:
[ ● ] Only post praise. This is not the place for complaints, critiques, or vague negativity.
[ ● ] If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
[ ● ] Follow all general forum rules while posting—respect, kindness, and inclusivity above all.
[ ● ] You can tag partners if you wish, but keep in mind their comfort and privacy preferences.

Let's uplift each other. Writing is better when we do it together. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡​

I'd like to take this opportunity to say: thank you for those I've had the privilege of being able to Roleplay with, being able to have good times connecting (even if there were those moments of uncertainty, but being patient with me has certainly helped).
To find a place where one can feel honest about how they feel, express themselves and even if it means it takes time to establish a foundation with one another, I'm truly grateful.

To those who I've gotten to know on here and enjoyed the experience of collaborating stories no matter what, and had I not found this place, I certainly wouldn't be the same. There is plenty of creativity involved with those on here and keep up the fine work.

Great idea, @Cat - you deserve praise for this alone!

And...

To those who've taken the chance on writing with me - thank you. Each partner I've written with has helped me improve my own skills, and to further hone my own writing style. It's been a pleasure writing with you, and chatting with you.

 

[nonpoint]

To those I miss like @SimplePleasures and @hama, you were amazing! Also, thank you to @marvelous and @Celebritease for stories I hope we get to continue.

For those past, present, and future taking a chance on me, it’s not forgotten or unappreciated. I adore you, I miss you, I hope I get to add more names to this soon.

 

[Solo]

To @Saber and @Virginia Greene, thank you for constantly putting up with my slow ass and my awful, awful taste in memes. <3

 

[Saber]

To @Saber and @Virginia Greene, thank you for constantly putting up with my slow ass and my awful, awful taste in memes. <3

If your taste in memes is awful, then so are mine

@Chaos., @Solo, @BennyQ, @Parasite-Eve and @song, thank you all for the extreme amount of patience you possess and never making me feel that writing our stories was a chore.

To the past partners I've had, thanks for putting up with my inconsistency.

 

[good girls]

To @Penitency who writes the most effortlessly sexy men on the site without ever sacrificing world building; a master of smutty mise en place. I'm sorry I haven't been in the right headspace to get anything new off the ground with you in more recent days.

To @Nazgul with whom I only wrote briefly, but who is simultaneously attentive and challenging in the way all the best coauthors are; I hope you're being met with all the right people to rise up to the level you maintain.

To @As Day Fades who I haven't played with in a few years, but I remember how electric it was to write with and wish all the best; I hope you're still bringing that excellence with everything you do and continuing to make knees weak.

To @DeRe who we rarely found the right spark to truly dig into in a story thanks to my own anxious ways, but who I always enjoyed talking shop with, who can appreciate exploitation and history and the ways they intersect in a way that is so uniquely perfect and rare.

To everyone else I've played with and rarely forgotten, in long scenes and short scenes, or even just had conversations with about scenes or play in general, to everyone who has put up with my anxiety and flakiness as I try my best to anchor myself down to a hobby I love but can't always give the attention and desire that I want to give it, you are all the best.

I've been roleplaying for years. I've written through countless plotlines, crafted a long trail of characters, and seen more stories start and end than I can count. Some burned brightly and quickly, others fizzled out before they ever took flight. But among them all—across every paragraph, every post, and every partnership—there has only ever been one that stood the test of time. One that has lasted not just months, but years. That roleplay, that story, is the one we've built together. And that person, that creative anchor, is you— @Neon Dream

We started writing together back in 2023. It feels like a lifetime ago and just yesterday all at once. Since then, seasons have changed, life has twisted and turned, and yet this story, our story, has remained—growing, evolving, becoming something I cherish deeply. It's more than just a roleplay at this point. It's a home for my imagination, a safe place for my thoughts, and a constant source of joy and pride. And the reason for that is you.

There's a kind of magic in finding someone who not only clicks with you creatively, but stays. Someone who isn't just talented—though let's be clear, you are ridiculously, jaw-droppingly talented—but also patient, kind, and consistent. You've given me the gift of your time and effort in a world that doesn't always make that easy. You've shown me what it means to write with someone who genuinely cares.

There were moments when I struggled to post, times when my mental health made it difficult to even look at a blank page—when the weight of my own thoughts made it hard to give back what I wanted to give. And not once—not once—did you make me feel rushed, judged, or like a burden. Instead, you offered understanding. You met my silence with patience and my apologies with grace. You reminded me, again and again, that creativity isn't a race and that real partnership means meeting each other where we are—not just where we wish we were.

That kind of patience is rare. That kind of loyalty, rarer still. And your ability to go above and beyond in your writing—every single time—makes me feel like I'm collaborating with someone who not only sees the story's potential but believes in it just as fiercely as I do.

I'm constantly blown away by the way you write. Your posts aren't just responses—they're art. Thoughtful, vivid, alive. You don't just continue the story, you elevate it. You breathe depth into every scene, bringing subtlety, emotion, and insight to your characters that makes me feel something every single time I read. And as someone who's seen a lot of posts over the years, trust me when I say: what you bring to the table is exceptional. Your talent isn't just in the way you write—it's in the way you listen, reflect, and expand. The way you build.

There's a certain rhythm that develops when you write with someone for a long time. A cadence of trust, a dance of creative exchange. We've built that rhythm, and it's something I don't take for granted. I know I can trust you to take care of our story the same way I do, to handle my characters with respect, to surprise me in the best ways, and to support me when I need it.

So many times, I've read one of your replies and just sat back in awe—thinking, "This is exactly why I keep coming back." You make this entire experience not just enjoyable but deeply fulfilling. It's rare to find someone who can do that consistently for two years, let alone with such energy, kindness, and creativity.

But more than just the roleplay, it's you I appreciate. The person behind the words. The one who's stuck with me through both high and low tides. Who checks in. Who gives space when needed. Who shows up, not because they have to, but because they want to. Your presence has never felt obligatory—it's always been intentional, genuine, and generous. That means more to me than you might know.

Our story is something I hold close to my heart, and so is our creative bond. I don't take this lightly. You've helped me keep my passion for writing alive in ways that so many partners couldn't. You've given me a space to create without fear, without pressure. You've shown me the kind of collaboration I had always hoped to find when I first started roleplaying all those years ago. And I just want to say—thank you.

Thank you for the late-night replies and the long, thoughtful paragraphs.
Thank you for understanding when life got hard.
Thank you for sharing your world with me—and helping build ours from scratch.
Thank you for staying. For continuing. For believing.

Thank you for being Neon Dream—the writer, the partner, and the friend.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being the one constant in a world full of fleeting stories. Thank you for being my longest-standing roleplay partner. Thank you for being you.

—With appreciation, always. (⁠｡ > ⁠ω < ⁠｡⁠) ♡ .ᐟ​

The Names I Carry in Every Lifetime - Tenzai

To think, I'd find a public thread that covers what I've been thinking about doing in my journal recently. Feels right to be able to have a little place where I could share a little about the people that had turned this hobby into a passion for me. There's a lot of diamonds on this site, ones that I can't ever imagine replacing. Here's to hoping that the memories never end and that this little post could act as a beginning to sharing how much these people meant to me when it came to having something to look forward to no matter what, both in OOC and IC.

Something I bring sometimes is the influence that others have on me when it comes to future stories and future partnerships. Those that left a wonderful impression on me had given me something to inherit on my roleplaying journey, sharing that same joy they instilled upon me in other places. As a result, I find it fitting to label this little thank you letter as: The Names I Carry In Every Lifetime. No matter what stories I write, no matter how different its setting is or its characters are from each other, I couldn't help but feel these role-players leaving such a profound influence on me and my never-ending creativity. I hope this thank you finds them well.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

I think out of everyone I've gotten to write with in general, the two people that I appreciate most are @song and @Twilight Genesis.​

Sometimes I think about how far I came in terms of writing and in terms of being a person since the moment I joined the site in late 2023 in the first place. If not for Song, I don't think I would've been here for long, let alone having the commitment and creativity to write 21 pages of one story only to still be left wanting more. Beyond that, seeing how far I changed as a writer as a result of me being comfortable with my writing, me embracing the OOC rather than shying away from it, and me focusing on what I loved doing rather than fitting a specific mold that was appealing to more people had given me something precious that my therapist encourages wholeheartedly: A confidence born of passion.

Because of what we built together, not only was I able to feel wholly confident in my own image on this website when it came to reaching out to people that were interesting to me, but I was able to do so while being myself the entire way! Gushing about stories, about writing, and about general interests that we both shared in common had extended not only to the online world, but the real world as well. The energy I've cultivated over a year has also led to me exploring past hobbies and interests with renewed vigor, even leading to me becoming comfortable enough to make the little song up there in the right corner just for this post! Honestly, I could keep going on and on, but I'm sure at this point, she already knows how much I appreciate her.

As for Twilight Genesis, she's the reason why I stuck with roleplaying in the first place and why I've grown so confident in writing multiple characters of different types in each and every one of my roleplays. Because of 10+ years spent creating characters and plots in the same world with her, I was able to improv creativity on the spot extremely easily, weaving thousands of words of on the spot dialogue, thoughts, and actions without ever feeling like I'm ever creatively drained. She also helped me realize that roleplay partners could be so much more than just roleplay partners as long as the chemistry is there.

To have stuck with me during my worst years and during my best years, I don't think I'd ever stop creating with her. She was the first one who gave my characters a genuine home in a one on one setting. Our story is the only RP I have that transcended mediums, going from Anime Amino over to Duo, Skype, Discord for a time, and even fucking text. She was the first person I wrote with that the other real people in my life got to know about and vice versa, and without her, I could say that my life would've looked very different.

These two are people I plan on creating with to my final days, if I can't somehow upload my consciousness to the cloud and keep writing with them as my soul figures out how to possess my keyboard from the ethereal realm. And sure, while people may come and go and departures are never easy, I think as a whole, I'd genuinely feel at a loss if these two weren't around. There was a saying that there are certain people that you only meet once in a lifetime that change everything, and for me, these two are those people; People I could never see myself letting go of.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───​

While these two have made up the whole of who I become thankful for, they aren't the only ones that have left a meaningful impact on me as a writer and as a person.

@luminescence was the first person who gave me a shot on this website in general. Without her taking the chance on me, showing me the joys of writing a genuine story involving fantasy elements like magic and fantastical creatures on this site, I don't think I would've ended up meeting Song or so many of the other wonderful writers on this website in the first place! Also, it was thanks to her that I learned the joys of slow burns; That hand holding, confessions, and first kisses hit just as hard if not harder than sex itself.

@Kassia was the first person who revealed to me the potency of investing into writing chemistry and the value of building up good rapport through the group RP, A Cyberpunk Anthology. Through her, I was able to meet a lot of interesting people, many of them I genuinely vibe with in the span of time the group RP ran for. While it is unfortunate that I wasn't able to reach her in time to message her my thanks and I do regret not making a story with her/reaching out to her while active, I thought about how I could write how much I appreciated being given a chance to write with so many interesting people at the same time. Now? After nearly a year and a half? I finally think I have the words for it!

@Kitten was the person who inspired me to become so aesthetic in the first place; Showing me that there was so much more I could do than just coloring my dialogue and adding music and still images. It was thanks to her that I dabbled with the use of my video production past as a vtuber to help give my RPs a new look that helped it stand out from others on the website; By making custom gifs to act in the place of banners, it opened up the greater use of different sites, different graphical editing features, and different software all for the sake of improving the look of a post while making the hardest hitting lines hit even harder. Also, it was thanks to her that my RTs look the way they do. I tried my best to mimic a fraction of the aesthetic of her designer thread, only to discover my own preferred style in the process.

@SinfulAsmodeus was the proof that what I've done once before was not luck. There was a long period of time where the only two active OOCs that I had on the site were just hers and Song's, and through that OOC, I discovered how to genuinely make people feel comfortable, regardless of the storms that could come across one's life. Life happens whether we like it or not, but patience, trust, and chemistry can help weather that, leading to stories that could last a lifetime. Just a month or so ago, we celebrated our one year birthday of our RP and likewise, the one year anniversary of us meeting each other in the first place (Only one of two that I've had started on this website). Its not an easy achievement for most, but its not one I take for granted.

@Zephyra and @Carpe Diem were both writers who helped me become comfortable in fleshing out my niche; Of balancing the wholesome and the angst for the sake of a happy ending. Their stories had helped refine me as a writer and our little chats OOC had all the more given me something to look forward to beyond the story itself. Creating with them had felt easy and their characters have both struck a chord in me that I couldn't help but look forward to what more each has to say. @Anarchia and @Kali on the other hand had helped me explore something new: More tragic beginnings and rougher roads; Combined with the chemistry and the reactions to each post with each other and with me, I've found few joys that could compare to surprising them and eliciting emotions through word and fiction alone.

There are still more that I'm grateful for on this site, but with due respect for their privacy, I'll just appreciate them in the privacy of their DMs.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───​

My writing on this site and my presence in OOC have pretty much been the product of the time, energy, and chemistry all of these people have spent investing into me. While I hope that one day, I could come back to add onto this list with more names, even if I didn't, I don't think that's a bad thing. These people had helped me get into a place where I could feel content with myself and with my passion. Its a priceless feeling that I'm eternally grateful for. Thank you all for helping this site become a home for my creativity. Thank you all for bringing the best out of me.

Looks like I was able to keep that promise <3​

 

[VincentVelencourte]

I love this idea! I've seen similar concepts before, though not so detailed in other forums. Here's to hoping I will be able to add to it in the future, as I'm still new here just yet.

 

[echo]

I had found this thread the other day and thought it a lovely idea… While I may not list all I write with, for more their privacy than mine, I wish to speak publicly about a couple of players who have made a difference in not only how I write, but also how they have helped me see things in different perspectives…

They are listed in no particular order, as each has their own distinct qualities that have been matched by none thus far…

@Jack Grayson ~ We do not chat much... but, we have managed to weave not only one, but two tales side by side. Reaching out when opinions on things are needed, or to gauge which direction either of us wishes to take, and somehow... some way, the stories have moved forward. Thank you for your patience when the chaos of the real world arises. You are truly a wonderful wordsmith and I am so glad you took a chance with a schmuck like me... So, thank you, Mr Grayson. So very much for that I look forward to many more words shared as the tales move along...

@Koura ~ the dear who has aided me in not only a creative realm, but also helped me see things I had often left unnoticed. You get how I am prone to panic attacks, (sorry about that, by the way, but thank you for your understanding), when things are posted, and somehow understands that I am insane, but still chooses to speak and create with me… I will owe you forever for your patience, your kind guidance, and your never-wavering understanding… I will forever be grateful to you for that… (I am sure I am missing things, but I suppose that is what the edit button is for, eh?)

@Aleksandr ~ the wonderful Great Wyrm who has been a friend for as long as I have been playing at this hobby. We have been distant at times, but we always manage to find ourselves back in conversations and, damn it all, we shall break this curse! One way or another, be it Wardens, siblings, or just the random rants about the corporate bullshit we manage to put up with, we will create a story, be it fiction or plots to bring forth that meteor, k, well, maybe we can just plan the meteor for my place of employment…

@HannibalBarca ~ What can I say about this gent… patience knows no bounds and the creativeness I have witnessed... well, I am honoured to write alongside you. Never once has my prose posed an issue.. Never once has the length, no matter how short or long, have you complained about, nor has the inspiration for our dear characters faded... I adore Denlil, and the person who writes him and I thank you so very much for allowing my Calista to be a part of your Drow's tale.. I hope that I can do him and your idea justice as the tale moves forward... Thank you for taking a chance on me... I will forever be thankful for that...

@xavierrol ~ though I am terrible at returning messages, I admit, I am doing far better than what I normally used to do in the past... Though our story is not shared, I cannot wait to see how the prophecies unfold and the stories still awaiting to be written... Thank you so much for your kind words, your input on the idea, your patience, and just for being a wonderful person, overall...

@Sync ~ Thank you for reaching out when you had... And more importantly, thank you for indulging me in the Fandom that had helped me to find this hobby... While we both know I am terrible at returning messages, I am glad that you and I decided to branch out and actually put words to the screen... Your patience has been a gift from the Maker, and I absolutely look forward to the adventures our Templar and Apostate will take... Thank you, so very much for taking this journey with me... It means more than I could ever say... <3

@Dr Bellwright ~ heh... what can I say about this chap... Thank you for the patience, for those pushes, and for just being you. Though things might never go as we expect them to, I want to thank you, from the bottom of mine cold black heart, for introducing me to the show/idea that has lead to our dears getting into trouble... I look forward to what comes next and I hope that you have been doing alright. <3 Patience goes both ways and I can only hope that the inspiration is still there once a return happens... so, thank you, Doc <3

Though I had not written nearly enough for each person I had the courage to list, every single one have been just astonishing and make me want to be not only a better writer, but a better person... I can never quite put into words accurate feelings, but I am so absolutely grateful for each one of you. I truly hope that the friendships that have begun here, will continue for many a long while with so many more adventures to be shared...

Thank you for making this hobby what it is. A fun experience to escape within, and a wonderful escape that I absolutely needed, enjoyed, and I can only hope that I have helped in some small way... Be it in inspiration, kindness, or just being that ear/eyes that you may have needed.

Thank you...
