Greetings fellow writers! The name is, obviously, Mnemosyne, but that is quite the mouthful, I know, so you're welcome to call me Syne. Or any other nickname you can think up, if that doesn't suit you- I'm not picky. Anyway, for those of you to whom such things matter, I am 24, female, and have been involved in forum roleplaying on and off for 14 years now, so I'm hardly the new kid on the block. That said, I am quite well aware that I have some rather niche interests, something that had led me to have some difficulties finding partners in the past. But hey, I'm here for the right story, not all the stories, so I can handle that. Now, I've been known in the past for request threads that rival a Tolkein novel for length, but in the interest of not seeming overly demanding, I'm going to try and make this short and sweet (wish me luck in succeeding there...)
About Me:
About Me:
- First thing I want to get out there is that I have a "you scratch my back, I scratch yours" philosophy. RPing is all about a partnership, right? As I said above, I'm aware that a lot of my interests aren't everyone's cup of tea. However, if I have a partner who is willing to humor me with them, I'm usually quite willing to help them indulge in some of their more unique fantasies as well. Fair is fair, after all.
- My posting speed varies greatly based on a) how busy I am with life (work, family, health concerns, etc.) and b) how inspired I am by our story at that particular moment. Any veteran writer knows that some posts come quicker than others. I do try to be on at least a couple times a week, but don't be surprised if it takes longer than that. Do feel free to nudge me after a week, but try to be patient up until that point, since constant bumps kills my interest and makes replies take longer.
- I write a lot. Like, a lot. For the majority of an RP my average post length tends to be 3-5 paragraphs, but sometime that will be longer if I'm particularly inspired. Plus I'm a sucker for scene setting, so expect the occasional extra long post.
- I like being a driving post behind the story. Honestly, while I'm willing to work 50/50 with a partner, I'm actually a sucker for partners who don't mind me taking the lead most of the time, then throwing in their own plot twists when I least expect it. Just be aware that I love springing surprise plot twists too.
- I usually have a decent amount of angst and dark themes in my stories. However, that doesn't make them all doom and gloom. I have very few personal triggers, so if there's something that you don't feel comfortable being brought up, please tell me about it ahead of time so I don't make you uncomfortable by suggesting incorporating it.
- I usually write multiple characters- both main and side. And do the level that I can (and have quite regularly done, in past RPs) populate most of a world entirely on my own. I absolutely hate being asked to limit myself to one main character.
- I prefer writing female characters. Obviously. If that surprises you, take a look at which section you're in. That said, I can and do write male characters as well. Be hard not to when I write as many characters as I do. I will always have at least one female main character! That is non-negotiable. However, if you also want a female main I'm happy to double for you.
- I'm really only comfortable with mxf relationships. Anny others would be side only! No hate, I just don't have any experience there. I can and do write out sex scenes. In fact, I quite enjoy it. However, plot always comes first, and sexy times will only happy if it makes sense. Also, they should be handled tactfully, not insert tab a into hole b, 'Mkay? As far as kinks go... I consider myself "vanilla willing to experiment." If you want any more detail than that, you'll have to ask for it privately.
- Disclaimer: These are, as stated above, preferences, not necessarily rules. Just because you can't follow all of them doesn't mean we can't write together. However, if you don't match any then we may not be the best suited for each other.
- No one liners! In fact, I prefer a minimum of 3 paragraphs per post, with exceptions for quick scenes (dialogue, fights, etc.)
- Please be willing to play at least one male main opposite my female main. I also love partners who are comfortable having multiple characters (even if it's just two mains, or an important side character or two.)
- Communicate with me! I don't bite, and I'd rather work out any problems we may have than completely lose the story because of them.
- Be open to surprises! As I said earlier, I love to spring surprise plot twists.
- Liking romance, and being comfortable writing out sex scenes, are definite bonuses. However, needing/expecting constant smut is definitely not. Also, know that I have certain "no" words that, if brought up in a sex scene, I will immediately shut down/fade-to-black, so please be willing to either work with me on that or just forgo writing it out entirely.
- First off, I will not write slice-of-life or sci-fi. In fact, it is very rare (although not completely unheard of) that I write in any setting with industrial-revolution (or post-industrial-revolution, for that matter) technology.
- I have a special place in my heart for political stories. Think Game of Thrones level backstabbing and maneuvering behind the scenes, dealing with the politics of a court. I do actually have a quite detailed plot idea for this as well that I may type up here at some point, but in the meantime if you're even remotely interested in this ask me about it, because I'd love you forever if you were willing to take it on.
- Low fantasy is my jam right now. It kind of hits the sweet spot for me of adding flair without going too overboard.
- Look, trope werewolf/vampire stories aren't really my jam. However, bring me some unique variation on an overused trope and I'd be happy to test it out.
- Arranged marriage stories are always fun. I enjoy dealing with complex dynamics, and seeing how (or if, for that matter) the characters learn to get along.
- Basically, anything with some really unique and exciting characters. However, I do prefer characters built to fit the plot, rather than vice versa, and honestly prefer partners who are willing to create a new character for a story rather than shoehorn in one they already have.
- And finally, this isn't my usual craving, but I've been watching Supernatural recently (yeah, yeah, I know...) and was interested in doing something with a similar theme, if anyone is interested in that.
