The following thread contains themes of sarcasm and hyperbole, and adult concepts, which may potentially distress or offend some readers. Mr Quixotic would like to advise that it is suitable for Mature Audiences Only (18+, an ability to think/act for themselves, and in possession of a sense of humour). As a work of fiction, any resemblance to those living or dead is purely coincidental. Best consumed with a grain of salt.

Writing samples can be found here, and links to current threads, below:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've become bored with plots that are based entirely around the concept of, "what the creative and imaginative male thinks up to happen/do to the poor, helpless (hopeless?), submissive female" and/or where the male character possesses every iota of intent in the scene, which comprises approximately 99.99% of female requests on these boards, so I'm looking for something so rarely found on Blue Moon.

Yes, Ladies, I'm requesting one of your characters locate that capacity for independent thought so kindly gifted by evolution to us all (incredibly, I do mean all, not just those graced with a Y Chromosome) then - here comes the unique and outlandish part - actually utilise it to do something all by herself. I know it must appear a mind-boggingly shocking adult concept, and so much more far-fetched and fantastical than even those non-existent vampire and werewolf creatures you like to portray, but it won't kill her, I promise. Once we're done, we could submit it to 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not'. Think of the fame.

“My character is nothing but yet another walking, talking submissive clone, barely even capable of taking a breath without first needing male approval and guidance," does become tedious after a while. As does being the one whose character is required to make every creative decision in the scene. It should be noted that I refer to the word submissive in its adjective form, not necessarily as a noun, although around here they do seem to go hand-in-hand.

What I’d like, is to play against a female with the strength of character, intelligence and confidence to, for once, take ownership of her own life and sexuality; rather than one too weak of mind and lacking the emotional or intellectual maturity to possess any desires, fantasies, hopes, dreams and motivations of her own, and do anything to satisfy them.

I realise that I should be exiled from the roleplaying guild and eternally banished to the hellfires of purgatory for daring to suggest that a female character contribute to plot movement and scenario creation, but what can I say? I'm a man who knows what he wants. If all she can do is respond to my character's actions, is incapable of independently adding anything of note to the scene, taking initiative, or of providing any unpredictability to the story, I'm not interested. It's what separates it from being a collaborative effort, and me simply being tasked to provide you with female masturbatory material.

If it's the latter you're after, click here. The tales are pre-written for your reading pleasure, and you'll no longer even have to pretend that replacing your character with an animated latex doll would make any discernible difference to the story, reader, or writing partner. I'll take a collaborator with less literary skill, but creatively capable of portraying a three-dimensional female character with agency, over someone who's amazingly talented at stringing words together, but cannot write a woman who brings anything of her own to the table, every single time.

Although I won't entertain a story predicated on any type of long-term 'Dom/sub, Master/slave' et al, theme, don't take that to mean my characters won't be dominant, or can't dominate; they can, believe me; possibly more than you could ever imagine, and enjoy doing so; but I like my roleplays to contain depth, dynamic personalities, and realistic motivations. I will not play cliche, "My character is a stereotypical Neanderthal male, only capable of thinking with his dick, therefore he wants to dominate and fuck your character for no other reason than she happens to be female, and breathing," type scenes. Yes, for the 0.000001% of you still with me, your character being female is one of my kinks. Breathing is optional.

It also does not mean that I'm looking for vanilla, or 'slice-of-life' romance; anything but - a little (or a lot) of kink and/or taboo adds to the fun - or that I have no interest in BDSM practices; I do. It's purely the 'Master/Slave' and 'Dom/Sub' relationship dynamic which bores me to tears (more specifically, the 'Slave' and 'Sub' sides of those equations), and those who'd use the likes of Shades Of Grey as inspiration. For anything.

Do I expect the female character to possess her own motivations, and display some sexual initiative? Yes, but despite what many seem to think (deliberately misconstrue?), the words some and all are not one and the same. Here's a handy little reference for those who refuse to take my word for it. It's really not that difficult, males do it all the time.

Do I want a promiscuous slut? Again, not at all. That is, unless your definition of a promiscuous slut is any female with the temerity to have sexual desires, and/or who dares act to satisfy them. If that is how you define it, then I respectfully suggest you move to the 1960's, clean the house, tie the apron strings, chain yourself to the sink (kinky, huh!), and ensure dinner and a pair of slippers are awaiting hubby's arrival. Do a good job, and he may pay you an allowance.

Whilst I am looking for erotic stories, centred around a sexual dynamic(s)/premise(s), that is not synonymous with wanting them to be 'smut-driven'. In that regard, the majority of my stories tend to be around an 70/80-30/20 story-to-sex ratio, as I find scenes that contain little but copious amounts of 'he thrusts/she moans' sex, lack depth, and swiftly become tedious to both read and write. It's the character interaction, buildup, foreplay, tension, and psychology of a sexual scenario that interests me as much, if not more, than the physical act. An intrinsically sexual, driven by character motivation, plot with smut, rather than a lot of smut with minimal plot. I also like my stories with spice, so a little, or a lot, of kink and/or taboo adds to the fun.

As for plots/scenes, the entire purpose of this thread, and my first priority, is to find a partner who exhibits an understanding of what I'm asking for, and writes female characters compatible with what that is, so I don't have anything specific in mind, although I do have quite a few possibilities rolling around in my head. Plotting from there is the easy part, and I prefer to do that collaboratively so both our preferences can be incorporated. I do have some pre-made plots - more to show that, yes, I can come up with something, rather than than looking to specifically play them at the moment - and further information, on my other thread, and F-List.

My posts are generally in the 500 - 1000 words range, and I write on thread - no IM/PM/Email, sorry - preferring slower paced replies from both sides, with a substantive response around once a week and no concerns if it's less often than that; as long as OoC communication is maintained, I'm good with extremely relaxed posting rates. To commit myself to more, or receiving super-rapid replies, places too much stress on my poor little brain due to me working full-time, and my time zone likely being much different from most others. Long-term over short term.

Finally, if anyone actually made it all the way through that wall of sarcasm, it's been mentioned by a few people that they've been intimidated by my threads, or worried about messaging me, and yes, I can be difficult, but honestly, there's no need for concern. It's just my previous attempts at being more subtle didn't work, and I continued to be bombarded with the same-old, cliche, 'please be my Master, and tell me what to do' and 'I'm female, what other reason do you need to want to have sex with me' (Hint: A personality!) requests. As well as being difficult, I can also be extremely accommodating and easy to work, and get along, with. Just please, please do not send nothing more than two lines and a link to your own request thread.

Favourite responses to this thread

They've restored my faith in humanity, and given me hope that the female of the species can be still be saved. (I do have some others, not quite as complimentary, and unfit for publication!)

"It can be hard to find quality characters, I can imagine even moreso with female 'submissives' who are nothing but a sack of potatoes to drag around............ I just wanted to drop a line, tell you I enjoyed the wit and scathing sarcasm in your post."

"I am dying at your thread titles every time they're changed to something new. What's equally amusing (if not more) is the style in which you wrote the threads. It strikes the perfect balance between lighthearted fun and dripping sarcasm, and the whole "endangered species" and "individuality" titles are the icing on the cake. Keep on doing you"

"Your request thread had me nearly busting a gut at some points. Your level of smart-assed and yet entirely honest sarcasm was amazing. Given everything that I read in it, you are definitely an excellent writer and you are not demanding too much in the slightest, and anyone who says otherwise is most likely a jackass."

"As you have said, you should be shot and stuffed for even uttering your request, but it is the truth, and we need more writers like you. In a roleplay, there are two parts, and neither one should do all the work, I have found that the story goes stale if that happens. I simply wanted to let you know, I enjoyed it immensely."

"MY OH MY How I LOVE to read your 'Lit Male Searching' thread with the blinding red disclaimer included! So precise! I've got to hand it to you Mr. Q, you surely know what you want and aren't afraid to ask for it! (Hey wait, I think I read that in there somewhere!) Anyway, more kudos for you! I simply can't help myself!"

"I saw your thread in the male request section and I have to message you and let you know it made me laugh. Also I know exactly how you feel, I used to be able to play female characters but after years of roleplaying and dealing with Mary Sues that were other female characters I have lost the inspiration to make female characters. The kicker? I'M A WOMAN! How fucked up is that?"

"Your request thread just screamed at me to be offended. I don't know why, maybe it's the pathetic fascist femi-nazi crap that I read all day that makes me want to smash my skull in with a hammer, but regardless before I hit the "back" button to simply disregard your request thread and continue on my search. I came to the realization that I agreed with you and that your honesty was really what was offending me. Personally I have grown to not say or do something that could potentially offend anyone, it's rude. But if you are being honest and stating facts, how is that rude?"

"I just wanted to let you know that your provocative posts have influenced my own writing. I used to basically write ice queens, who put up with sex instead of enjoying it. I think the reason is related to why submissive fantasies are so prevalent among women: "he made me do it" is easier to own up to than "I loved it". So I used to be really uncomfortable about writing my characters as being turned on or really even enjoying sex, and I think it made my writing seem inauthentic as a result. I've tried to break out of that recently and it feels a bit better and more real – as though I'm putting more of myself in my writing. And your strident request posts were a contributing factor to that, so I just wanted to say thanks."

"Well I'll be damned. Your thread/post, or whatever it's called entertained me greatly. Though I feel as though I should be offended. It's as if my instincts are calling out to me to defend my fellow species. That women aren't all mindless drones, but I jest. Your post oozes with sarcasm, and even someone as gullible as I could notice, actually, scratch that, feel it ... In any case, I wish you the best of luck in finding the "one" the dying breed of independent women."

Hi there. So I saw you had posted a response to my request thread asking me to contact you, so I thought it would be a really great idea to just contact you back on your own thread instead of sending a PM. This is how it works, right? ;)

But for real, thanks for the bump, Quix! I'm glad you found that thread enjoyable, just as I've found this thread absolutely hilarious. Glad to see there are people on this site with a sense of humor left, lol.

Ladies, you should be snatching him up!

Hi there, and I'll respond to your response on here, because that is how it works; messaging you directly would take too much sense :)

No problems Ari. As did I yours. It's rare to find those who are on the same sarcasm and humour wavelength, of which we definitely are, and what makes it so much fun, xD!

Possibly one more slow-burning story, xD

Hello, Mr. Quixotic. After reading your request thread, I have come to find that I would like to roleplay with you.

Thanks! I appreciate the random bumps, but you can probably leave them for me now, so that I can update my cravings at the same time :).
 
RE: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em. Now Seeking Vapid Female Character Tropes.

Ladies come now, pull up your best spinal effort and find your inner strong woman to best this man's sarcastic, sometimes snide albeit charming fellow! You know you want to! Bump on board the Aussie express to Mr Quixotic! Huzzah!
 
RE: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em. Now Seeking Vapid Female Character Tropes.

Aww, thanks, Mali, there's not many who write such awesome characters as you do. However, whilst I could possibly agree with the sarcastic and snide comments, I've no idea where you came up with charming!

One more slow-burning story.
 
RE: If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em. Now Seeking Vapid Female Character Tropes.

No, turn back now while you still can! Don't do it!
(...Hoping reverse psychology might work? xD)

Nope, no luck with the reverse psychology, so in desperation, I'm going to have to resort to one of your cheesy pick-up lines. They work on me!

"Thanksgiving dinner isn't the only thing that will make you wanna loosen your belt~!"

One more story?
 
RE: Unique, Outrageous & Terrifyingly Shocking Adult Concepts Within. Enter At Own Risk.

Pick up lines! What a great inspiration!

Charles Dickens might have given you Great Expectations but Quix can actually meet them and go above and beyond. After all, on a scale of one to ten, he’s 1984, so before you go In Search of Lost Time, settle right down and find Quix because he can fill that lost time with something wonderful. Call him Ishmael or just straight up PM him for a story already!

There, I think I just put in a bunch of literary references only those with literary boners will appreciate :D
