Seeking Detailed Partners for Dark M/M Stories! (Dom writers needed)

[Octo]

Hi there, folks! I'm Octo. I'm looking to cook up something dark with someone who's comfortable writing dominant male characters. I have some plot ideas of my own, but I'm also very open to discussing others if you have something in mind. Just know that I tend to prefer darker themes and I like a good mix of world building, character development, and smut. Romantic plots aren't off the table, but I like them when the dynamic is twisted and nothing is too fluffy.

To save you time reading, here are the big deal-breakers up front:

• I only play sub/bottom. (I know, I know! Everyone's a bottom. It's the tragedy of our time. I've tried so many times to write doms/tops and it just never works out well.)
• I only play OCxOC in original worlds (No fandom RPs; I love fandom but when I roleplay I don't like having to work within someone else's canon).

My ons & offs post will give you a good idea of my roleplaying and partner preferences, and what kinds of things I'm generally into. There aren't many things that I won't at least consider, so let's discuss!


As far as settings go, I'm open to a lot of options but I prefer some over others.

• Fantasy: This is my favorite, because there are no set rules and we can completely tailor the world-building to the needs of the story. I'm always on board with including supernatural or horror elements as well.
• Sci-fi: I'm down for sci-fi settings with the caveat that I'm not dedicated to realism and plausibility enough to do "hard" sci-fi. I'm always willing to sacrifice realism for the story, or just for the sake of getting weird with it.
• Post-apocalyptic: It's not my favorite, but I'm open to it depending on the plot. If you've got post-apocalyptic ideas, we can at least talk about them! But no zombies.
• Historical: I enjoy historical settings but the caveat here is the same as with science fiction. I've studied a lot of history but I will still hand-wave historical accuracy for the story. If that will drive you insane, we should probably skip the historical setting.
• Modern: Realistic modern settings are generally my least favorite. Of course, there are some great plot ideas that work best in a modern setting, and I'm open to that. In the grand scheme of things, though, it's the least likely to pique my interest.

I like to keep my plot ideas relatively simple here so that we can work out the details collaboratively. As I said before, I'm also open to talking about other plots if you have an idea and think our interests overlap!

• Alien researcher x human test subject: (Some important info on this one in the replies below!) You'd play the alien and I'd play the human. Maybe YC abducts MC from earth and proceeds to study him and experiment on him. Or maybe MC is an explorer who gets lost or stranded on an alien planet and then winds up in the hands of YC that way. Wouldn't mind some weird alien anatomy and/or maybe some oviposition with this one, but neither is a requirement.
  
• Prisoner x prisoner (or prison guard x prisoner, doesn't matter too much): Could be modern setting or could be a sci-fi/fantasy setting. Such a cliche premise, but still always fun to play. YC would be the one in charge, of course, and MC would be the one who falls victim to YC's whims for the sake of survival in the harsh prison environment. Could be a modern realistic setting, or we could go fantasy/sci-fi/post-apocalyptic with it. Could also incorporate omegaverse here if we wanted. For this plot, YC would ideally have a sadistic streak.
• Creditor x Debtor: It's actually not even MC's debt, but he's gotten caught in the middle of it. This could work in lots of different types of settings. YC could be a mob boss, wealthy hedonistic nobility, powerful sorcerer, pretty much anyone in power who would be owed a large sum in exchange for protection or favors. Without MC's knowledge, someone he knows (friend, relative, whoever) offered him up as collateral. When they don't pay up... MC is shocked to learn that he's now essentially YC's slave.
• Demon x priest: You play the demon, I play the priest. YC tempts MC and gradually leads him into doubt, blasphemy, and carnal pleasures. Ultimately there would be some sort of bad end involved in this one, like eternal torment, etc. This could be a modern setting, historical setting, or a fantasy setting with an invented religion. The more conniving and evil of a character you like to write, the better!
• Conquering warlord x conquered prince: You play the warlord, I play the prince. To legitimize his rule in the conquered kingdom, the conqueror forces the prince to become his new queen. Or, alternatively, perhaps a conquering army captures the prince and gifts him to their own king as either a queen or concubine. (This is a feminization plot specifically.)
• Currently (and always) open to creating plots that are centered on forced feminization or extreme cum inflation. If you've got ideas you want to toss around about either of those, let me know!

Current RPs/Currently closed plots:

• Orc(s) x elf: You'd be at least one orc (but if you wanted to play multiple orcs, you certainly could), and I would be an elf who has fallen into your hands somehow. Perhaps a war prisoner, or possibly a thief caught in your settlement, or any other reason we might come up with. At any rate, the elf would be completely at the orcs' mercy.
• Boss x employee: Could be a modern setting, or we could come up with something else and get creative here. You'd be the boss and I'd be the underling, ideally with free use and feminization elements, but there are lots of directions to go with a pairing like this. I've kind of considering the idea of a situation where maybe you're a lecherous exec who has a history of affairs with pretty secretaries, but this time HR hired a guy, and you're just going to have to make him into what you want yourself.
• Human x Android: I would play the android in a futuristic/sci-fi setting. While androids exist to perform technical jobs in many industries, humans have no qualms about using them for other purposes as well, since the androids are presumed to have no real feelings or preferences. This would begin as a free use type of scenario, and then slow build to romance over time.
• Omegaverse plots: I'd play omega, you'd play alpha. Maybe a forced/arranged marriage, maybe a non-consensual bonding when the omega goes into heat at the wrong place and the wrong time, maybe something else we come up with together.

Writing sample #1

Though the spring equinox had just passed, and the spring days should be leaving behind the chill of winter, there was a light snow falling in the dim late afternoon. The muddy street outside the Rose Moon was still visible through the white dusting. Across the road, a few hawkers were packing up their carts, collapsing their faded awnings and preparing to go home as the light began to dim.

At that hour, with daylight still filtering into the narrow street, the Rose Moon itself had yet to come fully alive, though there were several rough ne'er-do-wells inside who weren't concerned with the time of day. The owner and barkeep, Leonthil, an elf of middling years, was dutifully filling tankards of ale for the smattering of patrons. Two half-elves and a human were seated on the stools along the dingy bar counter, but clearly not together; they had carefully left space between them and studiously refused to make eye contact with each other in order to avoid being roped into conversation. The human occasionally spoke to Leonthil, making stilted small talk.

A long wooden table ran the length of the tavern, from the fireplace at one end to where the door opened out onto the street at the other. It was mostly empty yet, though as the evening grew dark it could be expected to fill with folk who had finished a difficult working day and wanted a pint or three and a bowl of stew before heading to their homes for the night. At the end by the hearth, though, three dragonborn and a half-orc were huddled together, tossing back pints of ale as fast as Leonthil's young human wife (his third, as far as the regular patrons were aware) could bring them. The group wasn't rowdy- yet- but they looked like a rough, intimidating sort, and were just tipsy enough to be exchanging raucous, no doubt exaggerated, tales of past brawls and petty thefts.

Before the hearth itself, a young elf was plucking a meandering tune on a lap dulcimer. The instrument was likely the most well-cared-for object in the tavern, the honey-colored wood gleaming in the firelight of the hearth. The elf's long copper-colored hair was hanging down past his shoulders in messy crimped curls that indicated it was plaited at some point before getting mussed up. His leather vest was open, the laces hanging loosely, and the neck of his faded green shirt was open and skewed. His appearance gave off the impression that he had just tumbled out of bed and into the tavern without making the effort to sort himself out properly.

Writing sample #2

The crowd gathered in the courtyard below, and Aidan was able to pick out faces he knew; the nobility who kept homes in the city, several prominent merchants, the highest-ranking members of the palace serving staff, a few of the city's most successful tradesmen. A smattering of the general citizenry had gotten lucky enough to crowd in alongside them, waiting to discover their fate and the fate of the kingdom. Though he couldn't make out any of their words, the anxious murmuring of the crowd wafted up to where he stood on the balcony.

From the towers at the city gates, a pair of bells chimed the hour, and an anticipatory hush fell over the audience.

Aidan forced himself to lift his chin and stand erect, as a proper royal addressing his people. The black lace at the end of his sleeves fell over his white knuckles where they clenched the stone railing before him.

"Good citizens of Carrith," he began, immediately regretting that he didn't have the deep, ringing voice of his father. At least it came out steady, despite how shaky he felt. "As you are all too aware, we have been at war for many long months. I, as well as many of you, have lost loved ones on the battlefield. It is with great sorrow that my first, and only, act as your king must be to surrender our kingdom. Please know that it is my duty, out of love for the kingdom and its people, to do this."

He paused in his speech. It took all his willpower to force himself to pry his trembling fingers from the balcony rail, and then to pull the golden signet ring of the royal house from his left forefinger and hold it out to Ulrich. It was the symbol of what his father had entrusted to him; a symbol of his stewardship over the kingdom and the people whose earnest, fearful faces now stared up at him. It galled Aidan to hand it over to the brutal man who had slain his father on the battlefield.

"With the passing of this ring, I am surrendering the care and rulership of the kingdom of Carrith to Ulrich of Braelon. He is your new king, and with his strength and the might of his army has shown himself worthy of receiving your fealty and obeisance. Accept his rule, and your families, land, and livelihoods will continue as they have always done."

An RP from my list above (the alien researcher x human test subject plot) fell through after I wrote and the starting post. Since I have a character ready to go and a starter already posted, I'm putting out feelers to see if anyone would like to step in to play the alien in the scenario. Character profile and and link to the starting post below! Look them over and send me a message if you're interested.

Eli Knox
Age: 27
Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Gray

Background: Eli grew up in a small trading outpost on a sparsely populated planet, where career opportunities were scarce. When it became clear that his twin sister would be their father's right hand in the family's modest business, Eli sought a future elsewhere. With no impressive connections or credentials, he considered himself lucky to land a secure job at the lowest levels of the Interplanetary Trade Commission's Resources & Expansion department. Now, alone on a small government craft that has seen better days, Eli spends months at a time surveying planets at the outermost edges of human exploration. It's important work for an expanding society, providing critical information to update maps, locate natural resources, and plan new outposts. But it's also risky; being alone that far out means that there is no one nearby to help in an emergency. In just a couple more assignments, though, Eli will be eligible for promotion. All he's got to do is gather data and make it home safely. Unfortunately, when his little survey ship goes down on one of the planets he's surveying, the communications console is badly damaged, leaving him unable to even send an S.O.S. back to his distant headquarters. He's effectively trapped, without any idea of whether there's even an advanced species anywhere on the planet that could help him.

Here's the starter. (It's posted under Extreme because when brainstorming with the former partner, we felt our ideas were sort of on the cusp. We decided to err on the side of caution. If you decide to message me about this plot, we'll discuss all of that again, of course!)

Conquering warlord x conquered prince pairing has moved back to the open plots after several months on the "closed" list.
