Hello, I’m Elliot! I’m trying to get my creative flow running again after hitting a bit of a slump over the winter. I’m looking for something light-hearted, perhaps a little slice of life roleplay with themes that aren't hard-hitting.

Key Points:

1. I'm a woman in her mid-thirties, from the midwestern United States, CST.
2. I prefer to write with other women in their twenties and older.
3. I only write MxM pairings.
4. I only roleplay over Discord.

I am a highly character-driven storyteller. While external plots are critical and drive the flow of a roleplay, I get more hooked by the character nuances. I love watching different characters grow and develop in response to the challenges they face. I like characters who feel relatable and realistic. While I enjoy flawed characters, I do not romanticize toxicity or unhealthy dynamics. Even if they may start out with unhealthy patterns, the goal is for them to overcome those. I don't glorify issues or power imbalances in my writing.

The length of my replies depends on what's happening. For 'regular' replies, I tend to average five to six paragraphs. Introductions or scenes where more is going on, such as time skips, could span a few pages.

While I run with only one main character, I always have a supporting cast because I feel it adds to the world and story. I like writing with people who throw in their own supporting characters, such as friends and family members, that come and go. On that note, I also click best with others who are just as proactive in storytelling. I want the roleplay to feel like a cooperative storytelling experience instead of something one-sided.

Chatting and creating friendships outside of the roleplay isn't necessary. If you're the kind of person who likes to keep it strictly writing-related, you will 100% not hurt my feelings. If you're a chatty sort, that's also totally fine by me!

Potential Roleplay Ideas

As the title states, I'm looking for something more lighthearted at this time, with a modern-day setting and no fantasy elements. While these are things I've enjoyed and usually pursued in the past, I don't want to bite off more than I can chew with harder emotional story themes and extensive worldbuilding.

Here are two character ideas I'm toying with:

1. A young man in his early-mid twenties is trying to find himself after a more troubled youth/upbringing. He may have gotten into trouble in the past or was just a general turd as a teenager. Either way, he's looking for answers and a future that feels tangible and real. He's charismatic and funny, but uses humor and charm like a smoke screen. He's basically going about life trying to fix his problems the wrong way, until your character comes around.
2. An attorney in his early thirties has a rival attorney he often faces off with professionally. On the outside, they have vastly different views. My character likely comes from a highly conservative upbringing and appears to 'have it all.' He comes from an influential background. On the inside, he's deeply conflicted and under a lot of pressure. Your character is on the opposite end of that spectrum. Shenanigans occur when their law offices merge, and the two rivals find themselves navigating a new dynamic.

I'm absolutely open to other ideas. If you have a character concept you've been playing with that you want to explore more with, please don't hesitate to reach out. Again, as long as the overall theme leans towards something lighter and more uplifting, I'm game to explore various ideas.

When you reach out, please let me know what you're looking for and tell me a little about yourself. I will also ask for writing samples and will share samples of my own. Not everyone's styles mesh well, and I don't want to waste our time going through plotting and character development only to realize we're not gonna vibe well once we start roleplaying.

Thanks for the time!
