Front of House & Back of House
A story about surviving the dinner rush

"We're getting in the weeds back here, tell the runner to 86 the scallops!"



About me: I've been roleplaying on and off this site for the better part of a decade now. I identify as M for my writing and am looking for a F writing partner for the idea that's been percolating in my mind for the last few days. This idea is hardly set in stone and I love communication when creating or  in the midst of a story, bouncing ideas off each other when we're not sure where to go. I like both of us to be an active participant in shaping the story instead of a passive writer who goes along with whatever bad ideas I might have. Communication is key! I've worked in kitchens for a lot of my formative years but don't expect a partner to have the same PTSD experiences I do.

About you: Someone comfortable playing a femme character as well as writing any misc, NPCs that might be necessary to keep the story moving forward. As stated above, someone who is an active participant in communication to make sure the story goes a direction we're both satisfied with.

Posting expectations: I'd like to see around 1-2 posts a week, maybe more if we're feeling particularly inspired, though I know real life can interfere with writing awfully quick. My posts will be in the 300-700 word range or so, though sometimes this will be shorter in the back and forth that has to happen to move a story along through dialogue and the like. One liners are a no go for me, and if I don't have anything to play off in a post I tend to lose interest very quickly. Spelling and Grammar are always a plus but little mistakes here and there are no biggie.

About the Idea - Front of House and Back of House - I'm looking for a writer who is interested in playing one or more characters working within a high-end restaurant. I see your character as a new hire in a front of house position, either a server or a hostess. I'll be taking the role of at least two characters in this story, to explore different areas of the restaurant and tones of the story. The first is Front of House manager who is interested in using his position of power as the hiring director for the serving staff to be an inappropriate boss to the servers and hostesses who work beneath him. The second would be a back of house staff member, either a line cook or sous chef who is somewhat acerbic and rough of manner but eventually finds himself falling for your character. One possible angle could be the cook and the server/hostess deciding to get back at the FoH manage by robbing the restaurant!

Themes I'd like to play around with: Toxic work environments, other-side-of-the-track romance, dub-con or possibly non-con. I'm sure there are others here I can't think of, and all of these are open to discussion.

As with any story though I am completely open to discussing these roles and what the story looks like. Please PM me instead of replying here if you have interest and want to discuss the story!
