Novella<-- Does anyone even know what that means? I write it like it's a story.
Communication is key.
PLEASE, Be present to the story being written.
Have some form of grammar skills.
Be respectful of my time, as I would be of yours.
One Liners. Just don't.
Constant pestering for a reply.
No communication.
That's about it.
Having removed several threads holding plots and whatnot, I have decided to just make a generic thread with what to expect and what I would like in a fellow co-writer of the tales kept within the threads of this wonderful Adventureland on the interwebs... So, without further ado, let's cast out a net and see what is caught within.
Here goes nothin'...
Where to begin… Where to begin…
I suppose I should begin with well, the beginning. Once upon a very long time ago, two mortals fell in love, or rather, Lust, (let's be honest), and a few months later, a Little Duchess was thrust forth into this world created for Mankind. A little bit odd around the edges and a believer in all things magical, this natural-born mortal of the female variety seeks out that which has proven unobtainable.
The Truth:
I've been writing ever since I could hold a crayon and longer than most members of this site have been alive, though not necessarily with others. I am still relatively new to the whole universe of Roleplaying, so I am still learning, As for the real world, well, I am just another bumbling idiot stumbling around this realm we are trapped in, and though I have been stumbling around for four decades now, I am still no closer to figuring out how this Life works. I have resigned myself to believe that my instruction manual for "How to Succeed at Being Human" has been lost in the mail.
I am no stranger to the written word with a double major in English and History and a minor in Philosophy. What I ask of a potential partner is something I would do myself; to that effect, I would not expect anything of someone I am unwilling to do.
ABOUT the YOU: I'll be honest:
I am not sure what exactly I am looking for.
Someone I can brainstorm a story with and create a world neither of us wishes to leave. The more engaged I am with the individual behind the people and obstacles that we create, the more excited of the tale I will become. Be honest. If you're not feelin' it, tell me to piss off rather than not saying a thing. Simple, right?
That's pretty much it other than a few writer points:
⭐ Be present to the story: This means that if the characters are in the middle of some Middle-Aged war campaign, they're not gonna pick up a cell phone and bitch about their fishnet stockings. At least in most cases.
⭐ Be respectful of my time, as I would be of yours.
⭐ Some common grammar skills, please. I don't expect Chaucer, but if every single word is misspelt and there are no breaks in the sentences to let me know what's what, then I'm out. (Commas can mean the difference between enjoyment and death. Keep that in mind.)
What Do I Write:
This is as difficult or as easy as one wishes to make it. The better question to ask would be, "What do I NOT write?" For the sake of having more words than just, "Stories", I shall simply say that I enjoy writing anything and everything that would entertain those reading it.
I don't normally post pairings, although I do post plots once in a while when a creative itch decides it is in need of scratching. I may even post a few to this thread in the future, but today is not that day, (unless one can clear the schedule of Adult-Chores in need of doing out of the way).
The person who created this thread is the world's record holder for the slowest roleplayer in the history of this hobby. Know that the replies will be spaced out since there are times a reply cannot be made directly. So, if you are looking for a daily reply to a story, then The Duchess is not the partner for you. Weekly can sometimes occur, be it a couple of times a week or only once, but daily is something that rarely ever occurs and it is better to just get that out of the way before plotting begins.
Pretty simple list, or at least it looks it to me. I might come back and change this up a bit, might even add a plot or two. For now, methinks this is workable...
To be quite honest, this is just a thread for those curious.
