A Little Bit About Me:

Hi there, and thanks for checking out this thread. As for me, I'm from the UK, and a writing addict. I've been writing in some capacity since I figured out which way round to hold a pencil, and doing PBP's for about 19 years at this point. I love writing and storytelling in all its forms, but solo writing can get a bit lonely at times. Which is where sites like this come in!

Below is a rundown of my writing style and things I want from a story, split into spoiler blocks for ease of reading. Specific stories I'm looking to find a partner for will be listed in the post below this one. If you're interested in any of them, if you think we've got similar tastes and you'd like to make a more general enquiry or you think I might be interested in one of your story ideas based on my likes, get in touch. Drop me a PM if you're interested, and I'll get back to you soon!

My Posting Habits & Writing Preferences:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Format: I prefer threads, though I might consider PM's for a compelling idea. I prefer to write in third-person past tense.

Posting Rate & Length: I usually post once per 1-2 days on average, sometimes more. My posts average around 2-4 paragraphs or the equivalent, though it can vary a lot--more for describing a character or location, less for quick back-and-forth posting like sexual or action scenes. It'll be as much is as needed to describe what's happening, move the story forward and give my partner something to react to or build on, without racing too far ahead. I'm not one of those RP'ers that throws out huge posts where my character has their side of an entire conversation before the other poster has a chance to react to any of it.

Communication: If I need to pause or stop the story for any reason, I'll make sure to let my partners know. Likewise, if I have any issues with a post, or any questions, I'll let them know rather than going silent. I hope for the same courtesy from any writing partners. My rule of thumb is that if it goes dark for a week or more, I'll send one PM to bump. If I get a response, even a single line, I'll wait as long as needed but if I don't hear anything else, I'll consider the story abandoned.

Pairings & Writer / Character Genders: The pairings I'm the most familiar with are F/M and F/F. M/M (or an MMF scene) is largely unexplored territory for me, but I might give it a shot if the idea is compelling. Transgender characters are something I'm a little cautious about, because I want to avoid accidentally causing offence. But if someone is willing to put up with the odd possibly-dumb question and check that I'm doing it right, then I'd certainly give it a go. Also, I'm not bothered about the RL gender of writing partners. I can share my own RL gender if it matters, I simply prefer to keep it non-public so that I can be judged solely on my writing.

Canons: I prefer not to play canon characters or real celebrities--I'd worry too much about getting them exactly right. Existing settings are cool, so long as they're big enough that we can tell a separate story from the canon characters.

Smut & Plot: For me, it's less smut vs plot. It's more that no matter how smutty or fantastic the story is, I'm looking for believable and likeable characters, with emotional depth, and convincing build-up to the sexy stuff. After all, if I don't know anything about these people, I'm not particularly interested in how they hump each other. I like the erotica and story to compliment each other, since sex can be a great vector for character development, and good characterisation makes the erotic bits so much hotter. To put it another way, I like the focus to be on the characters having sex rather than the sex the characters are having.

Tone: Some ideas are inevitably a bit darker or heavier than others, of course, but where appropriate, I like to have a lighter touch--drama, high stakes and a bit of angst are fine, but I'm not really interested in unrelenting grim darkness, bad ends or asshole vs asshole character dynamics where I stop caring who wins.

My Ideal Writing Partner:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

1: Posts regularly.  Doesn't have to be superfast, so long as it's consistent. I work best with partners who can manage a pace of 2-3 per week or more (any less and the story loses momentum and it can be hard for me to regain the mood), so if you don't think you can consistently keep that rate up, we might not work well together. Speed is good, but I value consistency more--a slower but regular pace also works for me.

2: Is communicative and friendly. I really want to hear suggestions and ideas for the story, and to know when something did or didn't work. The more I know about what someone enjoys from my writing, the more of it I can give to them! And on a personal level, just getting a simple "I'm enjoying this." is incredibly rewarding and energising for me, instantly making all the effort feel worth it. Equally, I want to know if something I posted didn't work for my writing partner, so I can fix or improve on it--I'm always open to helpful criticism and suggestions.

3: Is collaborative, and willing to work with me on developing the plot. If it's just me laying out the story and the only response to any suggestions is "yeah, sounds cool I guess", then I'm going to burn out fast. I have a lot of ideas, but I'm not going to do all the work myself.

4: Is someone who enjoys developing an interesting story and cast, and who aims for a good standard of writing. I don't have hard standards for "literacy" levels--I'll take technically imperfect but fun writing over a masterclass any day.
 
5: Won't vanish without saying anything. It's very frustrating and dispiriting to have a good discussion or in-progress RP where I'm really enthusiastic to get things underway and then suddenly--dead silence. Please, if you need to pause or stop the RP for any reason whatsoever, that's completely fine with me! There will be no drama, no confrontations, and no guilt-tripping. Just take two minutes from your day to drop me a message and let me know to wait.

6: Doesn't need to be experienced. Join date, post count, size of your seeking thread....none of that matters to me if the enthusiasm and fun is there.

My Ons & Offs:

I'm quite flexible, and the list below isn't set in stone apart from the Turn-Offs, so if I can understand the appeal of something, I'll consider giving it a shot. So just ask, the worst I can do is say "no thanks". Also, there's no one thing on the list that I MUST have in an RP--if something below is a turn-off for you, I'll be happy to leave it out.

Story & Character Likes

I'm open to any level of smut, but no matter how sexy things are getting, the important thing is characterisation. Even if the characters are hypersexual and the plot is basically an excuse to get them in bed, I still need to be interested in seeing how they're going to develop when they're not humping each other. They need to feel like believable people with consistent characters and even personal arcs.

Sexual tension, teasing & frustration. Innuendo, dirty talk, getting someone worked up when they can't act on their desire. Winding up the tension to breaking point, then letting the characters at each other.
 
A dynamic balance of power in a relationship--even if the roles in bed are fixed, that won't be all there is to the characters and their relationship outside of sex.
 
Humour. Not usually outright comedy, but sex is quite a silly thing when you stop and think about it, and we do silly things because of it, so the odd nod to that is fun. And on an IC level, I like writing characters who are relaxed and secure enough in each other's company that they can make each other smile. I'm kind of overdosed on humourless, no-chill or too-cool-for-school characters, give me someone who can crack a smile!

Uncool Characters: I love writers who aren't afraid to have their characters be flustered, tongue-tied, a bit silly or otherwise uncool every now and then! Not total goofballs, but the odd moment makes the characters far more relatable and easy to write opposite. Characters who are in control of themselves 24/7 and who never lose any dignity just aren't as compelling for me.

Physical Variety: There's a lot of different variations on "beautiful", so let's push the boat out a little! For me, characters with different ethnicities, builds, body types, physical disabilities, etc, is a "why not?" kind of thing....but one thing to add is that I'm not after RP's that heavily fetishise a character's weight, ethnicity, etc, and especially not ones that play hard into demeaning stereotypes. The other thing is that a character should be attractive in some way--I'm not keen on the "beautiful girl / gross guy" dynamic you sometimes see.

Sexy Likes

Build-up and story to the sexy times. I want to have some development and characterisation--it's a feedback loop, where interesting and sympathetic characters make the sex much hotter, and erotic scenes are a great way to develop characters.

Emotional Sex: Beyond the physical actions, how is the sexual activity making the characters feel?

Gentle / Affectionate Domination: I really like getting a chance to write this from either side, but it seems quite hard to find compared to harder stuff. I love the dynamic where one partner is unquestionably in control, but is exerting it in a loving way, gently but firmly asserting their authority. It's usually associated with women dominating men ("mom-dom" or "ara ara"), but it would be a nice break from the norm to see a man doing this as well.

Uncontrolled / Distracting Arousal: Not usually in the sense of non-con, but I find something fascinating about the idea of desire and arousal that's so strong that it just overrules everything else. Location, the fact that one character was meant to be angry at the other, etc, none of that matters.

Sexy clothing. Male or female! There are so many possibilities--teasing, flashing, stripteases, going commando, semi-clothed quickies, cosplay, titillating clothing damage in combat, ripping someone's clothes open--that why waste that potential to get naked inside one post?

Breast Play. Cliche as it may be, there's just something about a beautiful (not necessarily large) bosom on a woman, and a woman getting turned on through her breasts being caressed, squeezed, worshipped and sucked (maybe all the way up to an orgasm just from breast play) will never get old for me, whether my character is giving or recieving such treatment.

Sex or arousal in inappropriate places. Wandering hands under the table at a posh restaurant, a remote-controlled vibrator buzzing away in a restaurant, a hot and heavy "gotta have you now" quickie in a public space.

"Classy" settings & characters. There's just something about wealth and sophistication when it goes hand in hand with decadence.

Dirty Talk: There's an art to this--if your character can steer clear of insulting and degrading "porn star" talk (see below) and use suggestion and innuendo to get their partner achingly turned on before any physical contact is made, that would be awesome!

Voyeurism / Being Watched / Watching: Not so much as a way of creeping or exerting power over someone who isn't comfortable being exposed, but more as an enriching thing when one person savours the sight of something beautiful, and the other gets a thrill from feeling desired and irresistible.

Wrestling: Two bodies thrusting and heaving against each other, skin to skin and groping for purchase until one of them is pinned down on the ground unable to escape, or forced to admit defeat and submit to the other....and then things actually start getting sexy! Anything from actual competitive / sports-entertainment wrestling, to a playful contest in the bedroom.

Immodest Orgasms: Make them loud and spectacular, perhaps more so than the character intended. Seeing someone really lose control, rather than just grimace and grunt a bit, is super hot. This goes equally for men and women.

Niches

The following are more niche likes and interests--I'd like to try them ONLY if they are appropriate to the story and cool with my writing partner, but they won't fit in every story, nor do they need to.

Swirling: Related to the "physical variety" bit above, I really like the pairing of a black woman and a white man[/url]  (NSFW) and find it very hot (NSFW) (regardless of which character I'm playing). One of those things where I couldn't really tell you what makes it so appealing, but it undeniably is. Again, I should add that this is an aesthetic like, rather than any stereotypes that get attached to people in such relationships.

Physical Disabilities: Not in the sense of a sexual kink (and sometimes it need not be something that affects the romantic / sexual story at all), but some of my most fondly remembered characters have been those with a life-affecting disability of some kind, and exploring how it affects how they interact with the world, and changing how other people view them.

Lactation. Whether the cause is natural, supernaturally induced or just (through some biological artistic licence) as a side-effect of arousal or breast stimulation. There's something quintessentially feminine about the sight of a woman with milk dripping from her nipples.

Risk of Pregnancy / Impregnation. There's just something thrilling on a very primal level about being on either end of this, assuming it makes sense for the story. And there are a lot of equally hot ways to go about it. In a consensual and loving context, it's amazingly sweet and thrilling to have sex with the explicit intention of producing a baby, as the ultimate act of intimacy and trust. Or having a "just don't cum inside me, okay?" scenario where it becomes hard to remember in the heat of the moment. And in a more dubcon context, it's incredibly intense if she's anxious not to be knocked up and desperately trying to get off that cock or get him to stop before he cums inside her, no matter how good it feels. Even more so if she fails.

Pregnant Sex. There's something sweet about the care needed in making sure she feels comfortable, and something hot in the proof of his virility being on clear display already.

Cherry Boys. Male virgins are something we don't see enough of!

Sexfighting.  A step on from catfights, this is essentially, sex (usually same-sex) with a competitive element. There are several flavours (from "fistfights with some nudity" to "sex with some playfighting"), but the sort of thing I like is a contest to make the other person orgasm first / more, with physical struggling (grappling, pinning, choking, light pain such as spanking, slapping, nipple twisting, etc) being a means to that end.

Vampire Bites: This is next door to dub-con for me, and hot for many of the same reasons. That initial tussle as the fangs go in and the victim fights to get free, the sudden euphoria, struggles becoming weaker as the victim succumbs to the blood drain and the pleasure, the tension about if the vampire will pull back before it's too late for them....it can be damn hot is what I'm getting at.

Oviposition. You ever have something where you go from "that's icky!" to "....but also weirdly hot." without quite knowing why or how the transition happened? Yeah, this is like that for me.

Maybe / Conditional

These ones are a bit more nuanced--they're things I like, but only in a certain context:

Romance is something I like, but it needs to feel like the characters are naturally leaning that way, and I'd rather not mandate that they fall in love--it's entirely fine for the story to finish with them as friends-with-benefits, or going their separate ways with both of them enriched by their experiences.

I'm not that into full anal sex, but if my partner likes it, I can add some in, focusing on the taboo and thrillingly dirty aspect. Just don't expect it in every scene. Anal play with a single finger or a tongue is cool, though!

Incest doesn't have the huge appeal for me it does for others, but I can work with it, focusing, like above, on the thrillingly taboo aspect. Though I'd want to steer well clear of any hints of emotional abuse.

Futanari characters are something I might be interested in trying, but I prefer them to be something unusual within the setting (or a temporary transformation). Not so much when they're presented as a superior alternative to men.

Embarrassment / Humiliation up to a point--it's very cute when the recipient is being aroused by it or shamefully enjoying the feeling, but I don't like edging into degradation, where the victim is simply hating or miserable about what's happening to them.

I actually like writing multiple characters for a Harem story, but I'm very picky about what sort of solo character I'd like to play them against. If you want me to do this, be prepared to make an interesting, dynamic and likeable character that all these women would plausibly be going gaga over. Generic cardboard harem anime protagonists or flat macho he-men need not apply.

Dub-Con or Non-Con are maybes, and I'd want to be careful about how I go into such a story. The key is that characters should still be enjoying what's happening to them, even if not in a way they were expecting. I'd need to be sure a writing partner was on the same page as me before bringing this into an RP.

When it comes to furries or characters with animal-like traits, my rough guideline is that if the torso, genitals and face are largely humanlike, that's okay with me. I generally prefer limited and discrete nonhuman features (ears, tail, legs / feet, mermaid or snake tail, etc).

Specific Little Extras

Sometimes you just really like a certain very specific element, but can't quite say why, you know? Again, these aren't mandatory, but I'd love it if a chance arises to work these into a story.

Vintage dresses and gowns with low necklines. The Dangerous Liasons or Outlander kind of look, where most of a woman's body is covered under layers of skirts or lace--but in contrast, her breasts are provocatively lifted and thrust forwards, visibly rising and falling as she breathes. The sort of bodice people think of when they say "bodice-ripper". Speaking of which.....

Clothing damage. Combat or sparring where one or both character's modesty is under attack is my favourite take on this, but environmental damage that also exposes a titillating amount of skin is very hot as well. And passion that's so urgent that clothes literally get ripped off of someone....yes!

Qipao-style dresses, especially with very high slits. There's a very sexy contrast to these, where the upper body is concealed up to the throat, while the legs can go from concealed to almost fully revealed with a simple movement.

Stubble on a man. I find it a sexy look, and the feel of it on smooth skin is hot as well.

Glimpses of stocking tops. My not-so-secret weakness! Sitting or bending over just right to give a hint of bare thigh is a wonderful tease, intentional or otherwise.

Being kissed or caressed from behind. I like the contrast of one person being explored, while the other stays largely out of reach.

Being held or pressed up against glass. It's just a very sexy visual, of curves flattening and offering a show to a hypothetical viewer from the other side, who can't touch.

Playing with Dom & Sub dynamics. A sexually dominant person can still be vulnerable, uncertain or inexperienced. A sexually submissive person can still be assertive, confident and eager. Why not mix it up from the familiar pairing of Bella Doormat and Butch McManly?

Women going commando, with no underwear under their skirts. There's just something about the visual of a woman looking outwardly respectable while very aware of her lewd secret and of anything--stairs, a gust of wind--that might expose her to the world. Even hotter if someone else intentionally removed the panties!

Shared washing. There's something very sensual and intimate for me about two people indulgently washing and pampering each other. Especially washing someone else's hair.

For perhaps the most specific of all, gold on dark skin. I only started noticing this like recently, but there's just something about golden adornments or fabric against dark brown skin.

Experimental

These are kinks I'm still exploring and figuring out. Most stories will not involve these, and I'd want to discuss these beforehand to make sure I'm on the same page as any given writer before we introduce them.

Erotic Peril: I've noticed lately that I really enjoy scenes were someone (often a woman) is in some kind of intensely perilous situation, their heart racing and their mind frantic to escape as they can only behold their inevitable doom. I think the appeal is both the heightened state of excitement the "victim" is in, and the enjoyment of her tormentor as they watch her struggle. An important thing to note is that this does not go as far as snuff. It's assumed she always survives with no serious harm.

Orientation Play: I'm always fascinated with the ability of sex and sexual attraction to override any barrier, and there's some rich potential in a character who finds themselves experiencing an attraction that they "shouldn't" feel--perhaps an avowed lesbian starts having confusing and very  erotic dreams about a male friend, or a straight girl treats her boyfriend to a threesome, but finds it awakening feelings she wasn't ready for. If this did come up, well-developed characters are essential, to avoid falling into shallow and insulting stereotypes. Exploring new feelings like these is going to be a big step for the characters, and should be treated appropriately in the story.

Turn-Offs

Excessively long posts, which push the story forward at breakneck pace, racing through plot points that I don't get a chance to properly react to. Likewise, posts filled with internal monologue that forget to include anything for my character to react to.

Two-dimensional characters--if the characters ever stop feeling like believable people, then I can't find them sexy. In particular, I'm cool with playing with a "dominant" or "submissive" character, but please give them something more to their personalities than those two words! Specifically--

Weak Male Characters. Not weak in any sort of dom/sub or alpha/beta sense, but in the sense of being underdeveloped and simply a proxy for the author to hang out round hot women.

Cuckolding. There might be some exceptions (the other partner is fine with watching their partner with someone else, the partner is so awful the cheating is justified), but in the most common (ie, degrading and emotionally hurtful) uses of this trope, no.

Crude and demeaning "porn star" style talk, in or out of character.

"All men are bastards": Or casual misandry applied to all non-protagonist male characters as a way to make the male lead look better or to explain why two women are falling into each others' arms.

Sleaze and nastiness. I don't mind stories that wander into some darker places, but a non-stop calvacade of abuse and nastiness with bitter, cynical characters being dicks to each other is not something I would ever read for erotic purposes. Even with non-con stories, I like there to be something appealing about the characters and a relationship that isn't purely negative.

The following words, when used to describe genitals and / or an orgasm: spew, hole, meat, ropes, blasted, fat. They're more likely to make me giggle than anything else--if a man's penis is doing anything that could be described as "spewing" or "blasting", he should probably see a doctor!

Bringing in something on my off list. By accident, that's fine if you edit it out. On purpose, really not cool.

AI Art. None of that in any thread, please and thank you. I dislike the look it produces, the shiny-skinned, empty-eyed dolls with huge unnatural boobs. And I downright despise how it steals the work and livelihood of actual artists to produce soulless pastiches. Just Say No and remember that everyone is in favour of tech until it comes for their job.

Toilet stuff, severe pain in a sexual context, hard / realistic non-con, bestiality.

Rating System:

Low Smut: There might be some sex / romance if the plot or character arcs go that way, but it's not the focus of the story.
Medium Smut: There's a fair bit of sex and sexual tension, but non-sexual story makes up a major part of the tale.
High Smut: Sex will be the focus of the story, along with setting up interesting and titillating situations for our characters, and winding up the tension. Note that this still requires interesting characters and a solid story to give context to the sexy stuff.
